Sepura's radio solutions in action

Rugged

Rugged hand-portables carry environmental protection ratings, which mean the devices are waterproof and dustproof.

Gloved operation

Ergonomically designed radios and accessories allow quick and easy operation - even with gloved hands.

Outstanding audio

Crystal-clear audio ensures accurate communications, however noisy the environment.

Global positioning

GPS location services are included for tracking, triggers and emergency response to ensure staff safety.

Gateway coverage

Mobile gateways 'go with you' to extend coverage, even in dead spots.

Voice and data

Concurrent voice and data communications allow real-time information sharing with field staff and the control room.

Worker safety

End-user safety is prioritised through features such as Man-Down, using motion sensors to detect lack of movement, and Lone Worker, which can be configured to raise an emergency call if a status change is detected.

Track and report

Monitoring of remote equipment eliminates costly trips to remote sites or storage facilities, and enables resource deployment based on location and status. Automation provides a full audit trail, essential for accurate reporting and accountability.

Specialist accessories

Sepura offers audio accessories designed with mining environments in mind, ensuring ensure unimpaired audio even in the presence of magnetic iron ore dust.
