Sepura STP9100

The STP9100 boasts an IP67 submersible, waterproof and dust proof environmental protection rating, which means that it will function after having been submerged in up to 1m of water for up to 30 minutes. In addition, new Connector Protector technology provides marine-hardened protection against the corrosive damage that salt water and salt fog can cause to exposed connectors.

The STP9100 provides an enhanced user interface, which offers three different presentation styles, which users can select according to their personal preference.

• Compatibility mode allows existing Sepura users to be immediately familiar with the STP9100.
• Grid and list modes will appear familiar to new users who may be accustomed to user interfaces on smartphones or other GSM devices, rather than a radio.

Following detailed user feedback, Sepura has added 'haptic' technology to the STP9100. Haptics produce a physical movement of the radio, felt through the hand, which confirms to gloved users that the key press has been successful. In addition, the 'twist and zoom' feature uses smartphone technology to allow a portrait image to be zoomed to full-screen size, allowing the user to see full detail of an image, such as a missing person, as they rotate the radio. The feature also enables access to details concerning the image.

Tracking radios, particularly in a pooled system, can be difficult, so the STP9100'sbuilt-in RFID tag will be of considerable benefit to many users. In addition, the micro SD card slot makes it easy to store and manage data, such as photos, maps, missing person information and hazardous chemical data.

The STP9100 features a wide range of features to enhance user safety. In addition to Lone Worker, Man-Down, enhanced GPS and STProtect capability, the Wake-On-Alarm feature, which enables the STP9100 to be switched on and make an emergency call by simply pressing the emergency button, also helps to protect users.

An STProtect module can be optionally fitted within the radio. This is a key element of the STProtect complete indoor location and lone-worker protection solution. In environments where GPS cannot penetrate, it allows organisations such as prisons, airports and industrial sites to track and protect lone workers, locate employees, control access to restricted areas and ensure that pre-defined security patrol routes are being adhered to.

Sepura has provided a host of smart features which allow organisations to maximise their efficiency and enhance their operations. These include:

Bluetooth functionality - By adding trusted device and master pairing features, the potential uses of Bluetooth have been widened considerably. Implementation of the ETSI PTT Bluetooth command as an extension of the headset profile enables use of a wide range of rugged, professional, wireless accessories.

Short Data Applications (SDAs) - Short Data Applications (SDA) allow the user to simply and intelligently interact with a backend IT system. Built and deployed on Radio Manager 2, SDAs allow the automation of work flows, job allocation and remote control capabilities. They also allow the user to rapidly access a remote database. SDAs have been demonstrated to improve the effectiveness of users, saving organization valuable time and money.

MicroSD card - With functionality such as encryption of the MicroSD card content, Sepura provides the building blocks for many highly-intelligent and smart solutions to many operational issues.
