In the latest of a series of major contract wins in Central and Eastern Europe, Sepura has just completed the delivery of TETRA radios to the Ministry of Interior (MoI) of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This is the largest single order for public safety users in the region, and was completed just three months after contracts were signed.
The radios will be helping police forces across the country
to maintain contact, share information and coordinate
activities across wide distances, in a territory that
rivals the whole of Western Europe for size.
As well as over 1,000 powerful desktop and vehicle SRG3900
radios, including gateways and repeaters, the police in
Kazakhstan will also be equipped with over 8,300 robust
STP8000 hand-portable TETRA radios. In addition, as
required by the MoI's technical specifications, all
radios will incorporate bespoke on line applications
developed - using Sepura's Short Data Applications - by
Agat, the Almaty based systems integrator.
Sepura radios deliver crystal-clear communication even
against high levels of background noise and are ideal in
mission critical operations. The radios incorporate
important security and safety features, such as GPS
positioning, a single-press emergency button and motion
sensing technology to generate automatic man-down alerts.
Designed to perform in the most challenging environments,
the radios will be able to operate in the extreme weather
conditions found in many areas of Kazakhstan.
The contract follows the migration of the Republic's
radio network from analogue to digital, with the adoption
of the digital trunked TETRA standard. The network,
deployed by infrastructure supplier Thales, builds on
existing elements of communications and radio systems in
the Republic's provincial towns, including the main
cities of Astana and Almaty. Sepura repeater and gateway
technology will enable users to extend communications to
areas beyond the reach of network base stations.
Sepura radios were distributed locally by Sepura's
partner Wellcomm. "We're delighted that we were
able to work with Sepura to deliver this high profile and
large project as promptly as the customer demanded. We can
say with confidence that Sepura radios perfectly meet the
MoI's communications and security requirements"
comments Wellcomm's General Director Aleksey Tyan.
Kasper Barfoed, Regional Director North Europe for Sepura,
added: "Over the last few years we have supplied
equipment for Kazakhstan's radio network as well as
TETRA terminals for the police force in the capital of
Almaty. This contract marks our continuing relationship
with governments in the region. We are also continuing to
work closely with public safety services in Russia and
Ukraine, the two largest member countries in Central and
Eastern Europe."
