Sepura and SELECTRIC achieve milestone of 400,000 radios delivered to BDBOS users

Sepura has delivered over 400,000 TETRA radios to BDBOS users in 11 German states. To support these devices, more than half of the installed base have now agreed long term software maintenance contracts with Sepura and their partners in Germany, SELECTRIC. Due to the gradual rollout of TETRA terminals by different federal states over time, Germany’s emergency services have at any one time a range of Sepura terminal and software versions. Regular firmware updates are essential to ensure the continued effectiveness of their wireless communications. The new maintenance contracts cover existing software as well as future BDBOS IOP upgrade requirements to support enriched radio software, ensuring the requirements of German BOS users will always be met. The introduction of the Sepura SC2 series to the market helps to facilitate quick and cost-efficient hardware upgrades, enabling accessory re-use from previous Sepura radios and adoption to the latest TETRA radio features. Hendrik Pieper, Managing Director of SELECTRIC, said, “We are very pleased to continue cooperation with Sepura and to deliver the latest in TETRA technology to German BOS users. This is a testament to the high-quality standards we set for working with our long-time customers to deliver products and services that meet their high standards.” www.sepura.com

Pulse Secure’s VPN solution earns ‘High Scores’ from IAIT Lab for zero trust-based secure access

Pulse Secure announced that the IAIT Lab has completed an extensive test of Pulse Connect Secure, resulting in superb findings across usability, comprehensiveness and interoperability for the market leading VPN solution. Pulse Connect Secure includes Pulse Secure Clients and the AppConnect SDK. Pulse Clients can be simply deployed, enabling users to quickly “click and connect” from any device, anywhere. Pulse Secure AppConnect SDK delivers per application SSL VPN connectivity for iOS and Android clients, enabling IT departments to create an even more transparent and secure mobile app experience for their users. The Institute for the Analysis of IT components (IAIT) examined Pulse Connect Secure under real-world conditions through a series of testing scenarios. Several conclusions included: “The Pulse Connect Secure appliance is perfectly suited to establish secure means of access to company resources via any kind of connection whatsoever. In the test, the solution was able to score high­ly across a very large scope of func­tions.” “It was easy to integrate our appliance into the vendor’s central cloud-based management tool Pulse One. Administrators looking for an ef­ficient solution for securing access to their company resources should definitely take a look at Pulse Pol­icy Secure.” www.pulsesecure.net

SmartTask introduces next generation patrol monitoring

SmartTask has launched SmartBeacons to enable effective security patrol monitoring in large and busy public spaces. Using Bluetooth low-energy beaconing technology, SmartBeacons provide an alternative to NFC tags that previously were at risk of being vandalised or are not aesthetically acceptable for a location. “NFC is now widely used for smartphone-based patrol monitoring solutions, because it is cost-effective solution that works well where close proof of presence is needed, and a mobile device can easily scan a strategically-placed tag,” explains Paul Ridden, SmartTask CEO. “However, there are situations where NFC simply does not work, so we have introduced SmartBeacons as a standalone option or a mix and match solution with existing tag technology.” SmartBeacons have a range of around 30 feet, require minimal installation and have a three-year battery life. While more expensive than NFC tags, they are not prohibitively so, and they are ideal where a security company wishes to confirm that an officer has been in an area without the need for them to find and scan a tag. They can be fitted out of reach or sight, so are safe from tampering and a security officer does not even have to take a smartphone out of their pocket to be detected. www.smarttask.co.uk
