The exhibition floor showcased state-of-the-art communication systems, command centre solutions, IoT devices and wearable technologies, offering a glimpse into the future of public safety and emergency response. Some hot topics this year included the role of AI in public safety, as well as the benefits of Mission Critical Services (MCX) and its function alongside TETRA and how the landscape is changing in Europe and beyond.
This year’s event was a resounding success for Sepura as we displayed our complete migration story from innovative TETRA to Mission Critical broadband solutions. Our participation at BAPCO was an excellent opportunity to showcase our existing portfolio of products and solutions, as well as launch our newest broadband hand-portable device.
Introducing the SCL3 TETRA and 4G/5G Device
A standout moment for us was the launch of our groundbreaking SCL3 TETRA and 4G/5G Device, a pivotal step in the transition to MCX. More details will be announced at CCW, taking place in Dubai in May 2024.
Insights into Europe’s MCX future: a panel discussion with Sepura’s Chief Technology Officer
Peter Hudson, Sepura’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), joined a panel discussion at BAPCO titled ‘Where is Europe Going with MCX and the Way Forward.’ His input provided important insights into the future of Mission Critical Services (MCX) in Europe.
As a leader in critical communications, Peter’s involvement highlighted Sepura’s dedication to shaping the direction of MCX technologies alongside TETRA as well as improving its deployment.
The panel explored the changing landscape of MCX, highlighting where it is being successfully implemented globally and offering valuable guidance for developing critical communication solutions across Europe.
Even though MCX is the future, there will be a period in which this runs side by side with TETRA as the TETRA market continues to grow.
It’s great to offer a migration path to our customers and show that Sepura is dedicated to investing in innovation and new technology to provide the best solution for mission-critical users. We were very pleased with customers’ reaction to the SCL3 launch and it was great to interact with industry experts.

Transitioning to a Hybrid Communication Model: A Practical Approach
The shift towards hybrid communication models is gaining momentum, particularly within mission-critical environments, where demands for greater operational efficiency and access to advanced technology are growing. By combining established platforms like TETRA with emerging technologies such as Mission Critical LTE, organisations can significantly improve data-intensive communication capabilities while maintaining the reliability of existing voice communications.
Choosing the Best Remote Speaker Microphone for your Needs
Whether you're on a construction site, in a public safety role, or responding to a natural disaster, your equipment needs to keep up with the demands of the job. That includes your Remote Speaker Microphone (RSM). Sepura has a full range of RSMs designed with real-world users in mind: tough, reliable and easy to use, even with gloved operation or in the pouring rain. But which RSM is right for your environment? This article breaks down the features and uses of each of our RSMs to help you decide.
What’s Next for TETRA? A Ten-Year Outlook
As broadband technology advances, it might seem like TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) is becoming obsolete, with broadband expected to solve all critical communication issues. However, this is far from true. While it's clear that the next ten years will bring changes to TETRA, this dependable technology will continue to be essential for critical communications in the foreseeable future.
