Chris D’Aguiar, Commercial VP for Sepura said: "These achievements further validate our long-standing commitment to provide customers with genuine, proven open-standards solutions. Organisations and personnel who depend on critical communications to carry out their work safely and efficiently, can be assured that Sepura DMR Tier 2 equipment is fully interoperable with equally certified equipment from other vendors."
