Sepura has launched a Dual Mode version of its SCU3 Broadband Vehicle Device, increasing the options available to critical communications users. The upgraded model has a built-in TETRA module, enabling users to combine Mission Critical Voice with the power and flexibility of data connectivity via LTE networks. The Class 3 TETRA module in the new SCU3 Dual Mode device supports Direct Mode in the 380-473MHz band, meaning critical communications users in public safety, transport, mining and utilities can benefit from the reliability and audio quality delivered by TETRA.

The Dual Mode option allows organisations to run hybrid fleets, with vehicles and control rooms using the Dual Mode device and frontline staff using TETRA hand-portable devices for critical voice communications. It offers support for 2G, 3G and 4G voice and supplemental services (such as SMS and voicemail) and can also support high-definition video. Earlier this year it received GCF certification, ensuring its compatibility for use on mobile networks around the world. sepura.com
