Sepura STP8X radio range with full keypad

Sepura has launched a full keypad version of its STP8X series of intrinsically safe, IECEx/ATEX-approved hand-portable radios.

The addition enables users to source both full- and reduced-keypad variants from one manufacturer.

The radio with full and tactile keypad allows easy access to the functionality on the radio, even with gloved hands. For example, it enables users to easily undertake ad-hoc dialling.

It also features an enhanced user interface that offers three different presentation styles, selectable according to the user’s personal preference or operational requirements, which helps facilitate faster deployment and minimises training costs.

The radio meets both the demands of v6 of the IECEx/ATEX standards and the IP67 rating, while providing clarity and loudness of audio, fundamental to user safety. Other safety features include a ‘man-down’ capability which facilitates local and over-the-air alerts.
