Sepura achieves market leadership in Danish Ambulance sector
In May this year the new digital communication system
deployed by the five authorities responsible for all hospital and
emergency services in Denmark became operational, using Sepura
TETRA radios. This is part of the migration
from their legacy analogue infrastructure onto SINE, the Danish
national TETRA network. Sepura celebrates its 100% market share in
the Danish Ambulance market with Radiocom, Sepura's valued
distribution partner in Denmark.
Over 550 ambulances are now equipped with Sepura vehicle and
hand-portable TETRA radios enabling critical voice and data
communications between all paramedics and their Command &
Control centres in each of the five Danish regions.
This is the first phase of the migration to TETRA technology and
follows the recent Scandinavian success of Sepura's ambulance
solution with three key Swedish health authorities.
The Sepura ambulance solution delivers swift and reliable
communication to health service operatives in Denmark. It enables
faster response times and more efficient service provision by
combining two-way radio communications, messaging, mobile telephony
and mobile data. Sepura radios provide reliable uninterrupted
reception, crystal clear audio and use of data messaging whilst
offering ambulance organisations increased efficiency and faster
response times in answering emergency calls. Voice and data
messages are immediately and reliably relayed, saving precious
seconds in answering calls. The advantages offered to ambulance
crews and control rooms by Sepura's special ambulance solution
enables crews to improve still further their service to the
public.
Mikael Hansen, Managing Director for Radiocom, says "The Danish
authorities chose the Sepura Ambulance Solution unanimously. They
were particularly impressed with Sepura's gateway radio which,
thanks to its outstanding output power, will give all operatives a
much wider communications range ensuring that crews can be
contacted on their radios even when away from the vehicle. The
authorities are aware that keeping crews connected with their
headquarters will improve their effectiveness, their safety and the
safety of the people they treat."
Lars-Magnus Gustafsson, Senior Business Development Manager for
Sepura comments: "Achieving 100% market share in Denmark with the
Ambulance Services is a major achievement and testament to Sepura's
in-depth understanding of the ambulance services' operational and
communications requirements. Ambulance organisations from many
corners of Europe currently use Sepura radios for their
emergency-response communications systems and enjoy the
considerable benefits provided by the Sepura Ambulance
Solution."
The five Regions of Denmark were created as part of the 2007 Danish
Municipal Reform. The most important area of responsibility for the
regions is the public health service.
