Once again Sepura and Selectric team up to take centre stage at
the forthcoming PMRExpowhich will take place in Cologne, Germany
from 22nd to the 24th November. The two
longstanding partners will share a high profile stand where they
will showcase Sepura's latest products and solutions.
PMRExpo is the annual event in Germany for professional
mobile radio (PMR) and trunked radio and command & control
centres. The exhibition brings together over 2,000 executives,
professionals and specialised personnel from BOS' target groups
(police, fire brigade, rescue and disaster relief services), public
transport, municipal organisations, utilities and specialised
industry. Over the years PMRExpo has evolved into a leading
international trade and meeting place for visitors and exhibitors
from Germany and northern Europe, providing the ideal platform for
professional exchanges between end-users and suppliers.
Kasper Barfoed, Regional Director for Sepura comments: "With the
network roll-out for the Police in Germany entering an advanced
stage, we are pleased to see that the BOS-net rollout process for
the Fire Brigades and Rescue Services is beginning to gain pace.
For Sepura this comes at a propitious time, having recently added
our new Intrinsically-Safe hand-portable radio, the STP8X, to our
already market-leading range of TETRA products".
Hendrik Pieper, General Manager for Selectric adds: "Fire
brigades are not the only organisations who can reap the benefits
of deploying Sepura STP8X radios. Recently the chemical industry in
Germany - number one in Europe and the fourth largest in the world
- has started to show interest in Sepura's Intrinsically-Safe
product offering. Chemical plants and parks (known as
chemieparks) in Germany supply energy and water, take care of
safety, security and waste disposal and usually cover very wide
areas. The largest plants have their own fire brigades which are
legally required to be connected with the professional fire
brigades. This highlights the need for interoperability and
seamless communications with public safety organisations operating
on BOS and selected commercial and private groups".
Kasper Barfoed concludes: "In the last few years we have seen
PMRExpogrow from strength to strength and are convinced that this
year promises to be a very exciting event.
Our successful and longstanding working relationship with Selectric has been benefiting multiple users in Germany for several years; both our organisations look forward to welcoming as many visitors as possible to our shared stand".
