Sepura uses Softil’s MCPTX technology

Critical communications device (MCX) vendor Sepura and global MCX solutions leader, Softil, jointly announced that Softil’s Mission Critical Push-to-Talk, Data and Video (MCPTX) Software Development Kit (SDK) has been adopted by Sepura to support its Android operating system-based portable and broadband communication devices and applications.

The announcement underscores Sepura’s continued commitment to providing interoperable communications solutions to meet the needs of mission-critical and enterprise users, leveraging narrowband and broadband technologies, to deliver communications robust reviews provided by TETRA combined with the rich communications offered by MCX technology for high throughput. vehicles and portable solutions. First responders in blue light agencies as well as users in commercial and critical environments such as mining and transportation will be the first to benefit.

Sepura’s MCX devices support Mission Critical Voice (MCPTT) and Data (MCData) features. Built on the Android operating system, the devices offer compatibility with a wide range of apps that have been designed to run on existing Android smartphones and tablets. Sepura has chosen to add MCX capabilities as part of the device firmware, which is the only way to ensure full utilization of the device’s powerful hardware capabilities. This, in turn, dramatically improves the user experience and delivers peak performance and rigorous adherence to standard and service provider-specific KPIs.

Ensuring the interoperability of different MCX systems avoids silos and allows first responders to better communicate with each other during routine daily tasks and during major disasters.

Sepura’s hybrid vehicle device, the SCU3, offering both wideband MCX and TETRA capabilities, is an evolution of its proven TETRA solution deployed today by more than two million public safety and mission-critical users in the world. The device, together with its mobile device management solution, becomes a complete communication hub for vehicles, providing customers with a clear upgrade path for their critical communication needs.

Sepura’s SCU3 broadband vehicle device has successfully demonstrated compliance with the Global Certification Forum (GCF) technical requirements for the certification of devices incorporating 3GPP technologies and features, ensuring its compatibility for use on mobile networks worldwide whole using 2G, 3G and 4G technologies.

Softil, the world’s leading provider of standards-based, fully tested, interoperable and market-proven IP communications solutions, has been the primary enabler of MCX markets for the past five years. Its MCX technology is now at the heart of the critical public safety market, which analysts predict will exceed $20 billion by 2028.

Softil’s MCX enabling technology enables developers to quickly create industry-leading standards-based solutions for any network and provides complete assurance of interoperability with other standards-based tools in the software ecosystem. MCX products.

Softil’s enabling technology works on all common operating systems including Windows, (many variants of) Linux, Android and iOS. iOS and Android are the personal operating systems for most first responders, while Linux and Windows are commonly used for vehicles, trains, and other embedded devices and solutions.s.
