In the Netherlands, the Royal Military Police (Koninklijke Marechausee or KMAR) is replacing its existing Sepura TETRA radios with the company’s latest handportables. KMAR, a Sepura customer since 2002, is set to deploy 3500 Sepura STP8000 radios in the coming months, placing the most advanced communications technology in the hands of its users and officers.

KMAR has wide-ranging responsibilities which include protecting the country’s national borders and policing its airports. “Cutting-edge communications technology is integral to performing KMAR’s day-to-day undertakings”, said Bas de Grood, chief executive of Abiom, Sepura’s distributor for the Benelux countries. “Sepura’s STP8000 delivers the failsafe performance KMAR needs and the ability to tailor the force’s communication capabilities to the requirements of any operational unit.”
