Sepura STP9000 series TETRA radio

The product shown is a Sepura STP9000 series hand-portable radio, a high-performance terminal designed for critical communications using the Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) standard. The device in the image features the branding of 'Statens vegvesen' (the Norwegian Public Roads Administration) on its screen, indicating its use by government agencies in Norway for public safety and operational coordination within the national Nødnett network.

Sepura was originally established in 2002 in Cambridge, United Kingdom, evolving from a long lineage of telecommunications innovation that traces back to the Pye Group founded in 1896. The company has since become a global leader in the mission-critical communications market. While the research, development, and design are centered in its UK-based R&D hub, the manufacturing of its devices is primarily conducted within Europe to maintain high-quality standards for public safety equipment, though global supply chains may involve components from multiple locations.

Following several changes in ownership, including a period under the Chinese company Hytera Communications from 2017 to 2022, Sepura returned to British ownership in July 2022. It was acquired by the London-based private equity group Epiris, which continues to own the brand. As of 2026, Sepura remains a key player in the global market, providing secure and robust communication solutions for police, fire, ambulance services, and commercial sectors across more than 100 countries.
