Greater Manchester Police order Sepura TETRA handportables

Following extensive user evaluation of TETRA portable terminals now available on the mmo2 Airwave network, Greater Manchester Police has selected Sepura's SRP2000 handportable. This makes GMP the largest user on the UK national public safety system. They also have a significant quantity of Sepura's earlier TETRA product the SRP1000. 

The repeat order came after GMP carried out operational efficiency evaluations of all the TETRA handportables available from all the major manufacturers. The SRP2000, which was specifically designed to meet the needs of public safety users, won due to a combination of ease of use, its highly flexible user focused software and the range of accessories available for conventional and covert use. 

Superintendent Terry Sweeney, Airwave Project Director for Greater Manchester Police said, "We had no hesitation in the selection of the SRP2000. The enhanced software features and flexibility of the SRP2000 handportable made Sepura terminals the most suitable operational choice. Sepura has consistently provided excellent customer support during the Airwave network roll out and continues to supply first class customer service well beyond the contracted level". 

David Taylor, Sales Director of Sepura commented, "Greater Manchester Police is one of our earliest TETRA customers utilising the mmo2 Airwave network. We have over the last 2 years built up a first class relationship both with Greater Manchester Police and their Managed Service Provider, Securicor Information Systems, which we believed has enhanced our understanding of the UK police forces exacting radio requirements."
