Mexico: City of Leon expands its Sepura TETRA terminal fleet

Following the implementation of a Sepura TETRA network in the Mexican State of Guanajuato, the city of Leon has added another 757 Sepura STP9000 TETRA radios to its existing stock of more than 800 terminals through Sepura’s in-region partner Jomtel. The city completed its section of the state-wide TETRA network in December 2017.

The city of Leon’s Municipal Public Security Secretariat purchased the radios to further enhance public safety communications for its officers in the field. One of its goals is to streamline the portfolio of radios in use within the force, thus reducing training costs.

Sepura’s TETRA STP9000 radios have an IP67 environmental rating – ensuring the radio remains operational even after submersion in water – and provide and haptic feedback, allowing officers to physically feel when actions are registered on the device. Sepura claims that the handsets also offer “Powerful audio [and] exceptional battery life”.

Ivan Vargas, business development manager for Latin America said “I am very proud that the market leading performance and robustness of our radios, alongside a first class customer service provided by Sepura and our channel partners, has been key to earning the trust of one of the most important municipalities of Guanajuato region, the city of Leon. I am certain that this will continue to drive success for Sepura in the region.”
