Swedish police are to refresh their national fleet with TETRA radios. Police have again chosen Sepura TETRA terminals, supplied through their regional partner, Swedish Radio Supply. Deployment will begin in May, with the radios supported for two years with possible extensions.
Swedish Radio Supply has supplied the police with Rakel products since the beginning of 2006. The supplier has an agreement with the Swedish Police for service, support and accessories for the current terminal fleet.
Jonas Hoke, Senior Business Manager and Customer Manager for the Police at Swedish Radio Supply said: “The Swedish Police is the largest radio user in the Nordic region, so this is of course a very important customer and an important contract for us. We were keen to ensure that the Police received a radio that closely matched their operational requirements. The deployment of the Sepura SC21 devices ensures that the Swedish Police will join London’s Metropolitan Police Service and the Dutch National Police in using the the most advanced TETRA device on the market today.”
Sepura, based in Cambridge, reports that its SC21 TETRA hand-portable terminal is an upgrade to a smaller, lighter device. The SC21 is based on Sepura’s next generation platform with a clear colour screen and rugged IP67-rated construction.
Despite being 25pc smaller, it has the same battery and accessory connector as Sepura’s previous STP terminal series, and featuring GPS, integrated Bluetooth, support for RFID tags, ‘man down’ and lone worker protection. Visit www.sepura.com.
The Met Police’s taking of Sepura radios is featured in the April 2019 print issue of Professional Security magazine.
