With the migration of Denmark’s ambulance services on to SINE, the national TETRA network, mobile radio manufacturer Sepura has attained the distinction of being selected as terminal supplier to all five Danish regions. 

Over 550 ambulances are now equipped with Sepura vehicle and handportable TETRA radios, enabling critical voice and data communications between all paramedics and their command and control centres in each of the regions. The five regions of Denmark were created as part of the 2007 Danish Municipal Reform, and their most important area of responsibility is the public health service. 

“The Danish authorities chose the Sepura Ambulance Solution unanimously”, said Mikael Hansen, managing director of Sepura’s Danish partner, Radiocom. “They were particularly impressed with Sepura’s gateway radio which, thanks to its outstanding output power, will give all operatives a much wider communications range ensuring that crews can be contacted on their radios even when away from the vehicle.

“The authorities are aware that keeping crews connected with their headquarters will improve their effectiveness, their safety and the safety of the people they treat.”

Saving seconds

Sepura explains that its TETRA ambulance radios make for faster response times and more efficient service provision by combining two-way radio communications, messaging, mobile telephony and mobile data. Offering uninterrupted reception with crystal-clear audio and the use of data messaging, they enable ambulance organizations to achieve increased efficiency and a faster response.
