Sepura STP8X100

The STP8X offers unrivalled levels of ruggedness and robustness. Its IP67 rating means that it is able to withstand submersion in up to 1m of water for 30 minutes and is completely dustproof. Suitable for the harshest and most challenging environments, the STP8X meets V6 of the IECEx/ATEX standards.

Version 6 is a highly rigorous testing regime for Intrinsically-Safe radios, demanding that the product withstand being heated to 80°C at 90% relative humidity for 28 days, followed by being rapidly chilled to between -25°C and -30°C for 24 hours to attempt to induce brittleness. Upon emerging from the cold chamber, it is immediately impacted and drop tested and submitted to a formal IP test for both liquid and vacuum-assisted dust ingress, in order to check that its integrity has not been breached.

Clear communication is fundamental to user safety. The STP8X provides unrivalled clarity of audio, achieved through its award-winning innovative hardware and software, enabling users to communicate quickly and efficiently in noisy environments where heavy machinery and protective headgear or clothing is used.

The STP8X series features an enhanced user interface, with a choice of three presentation styles, which users can select according to their personal preference or operational requirements:

• Compatibility mode, allowing existing Sepura users to be immediately familiar with the STP8X
• Smartphone-style grid and list modes

The reduced keypad version gives easy, safe and direct access to specific functions - ideal for use with gloved hands. In addition, the ´Twist and Zoom´ feature uses smartphone technology to allow a portrait image (stored on a Micro SD card) to be zoomed to full-screen size, allowing the user to see full detail of an image as they rotate the radio.

The STP8X offers the most advanced Man-Down solution in the TETRA IS market, with motion- and tilt-monitoring as well as a local alarm and over-the-air alerting. This is backed by an integrated GPS receiver, allowing swift location of personnel, ensuring their safety.

Users of IS radios often need to interact or communicate automatically with a variety of other systems, particularly those at the back-end of an operation. The growing range of Sepura radio applications, including use of WAP and SDS technologies, enables tasks such as automated job allocation or database look-ups. Users can also rapidly review data stored on the radio via its removable Micro SD card.
