Idre Fjäll, Sweden, has chosen a Sepura TETRA system to boost communications and optimise safety for staff and visitors at its ski resort, which recently hosted the Ski-Cross World Cup and will hold the Speed Ski World Championship later this month. It is home to more than 40 ski runs and 82km of cross-country trails and hosts more than 600,000 visitors each year.
The solution, supplied in conjunction with Sepura’s partner, Swedish Radio Supply, comprises TETRA infrastructure and a fleet of STP9000 hand-portable radios.

“After thorough testing, the Sepura solution was unbeaten for both sound quality and overall reliability,” said Kjell Skoglund, operations manager for Idre Fjäll. “Users found the radios to be intuitive and easy to use, while the flexible infrastructure allows for a two-phase deployment, providing us with a cost-effective upgrade path for our planned network extension.”
Dawn Griffiths, business development manager for Sepura, said: "Swedish Radio Supply's expertise and customer focus – in combination with our class-leading product portfolio – has delivered numerous high-profile contract wins over the last decade. We are delighted that our solution will contribute to the smooth running of international ski events, as well as the day-to-day running of this world-class resort.”
