These radios are for operational use on Germany’s new national public safety digital network, known as BOS-net, which has been developed to equip police, ambulance, fire and security services with a secure and fail-safe communication system.

Importantly, the market-leading Gateway functionality in its SRG3500 vehicle radios acts as a relay point for hand-held radios, extending the trunked network into areas of limited coverage – the exact scenario expected during the roll out of the BOS-net. This enhanced coverage is achieved through an exceptional 10 watts of transmitting power.

In Germany, all Sepura radios support the BOS-specified enhanced encryption security system, developed by the BSI (Federal ITC safety agency).

Hendrik Pieper, General Manager of Selectric, said: “These sales wins are really good news. Indeed, we are optimistic that the Sepura range of radios will be well received throughout Germany. It is ideally suited for the country’s public safety users, offering outstanding levels of performance and usability.”

Niedersachsen is one of the country’s largest states and Bremen is one of three city states in Germany.
