Creowave won a tender for 50 TETRA Indoor Repeaters
10. November 2011
State Security Networks Ltd. is a limited non-profit company which is owned by the Finnish Government. The company operates nationwide, with its headquarters located in Helsinki. State Security Networks operates the world’s first nationwide TETRA network - the VIRVE network - which is commonly used by Finnish authorities. VIRVE services enable reliable and secure authority communications, and furnish communication networks with new possibilities.
In September 2011, State Security Networks opened a tender for 50 TETRA Indoor Repeaters and their control- and surveillance systems. Creowave quoted the band-selective Indoor Repeater as well their surveillance software and eventually got information of winning the tender in October.
“We are naturally very pleased with this. This is not the first time Creowave has delivered repeaters to VIRVE network. Finnish VIRVE network is the oldest nationwide TETRA network in the world and continuing to choose our solutions shows, that our quality, product performance and delivery accuracy are meeting the high expectations of our customers”, comments Jyrki Koski, CEO of Creowave.
“As of today, Creowave has already delivered the first 10 repeaters and will deliver the last 40 pieces within couple of weeks. Meeting and keeping up with the agreed delivery times is of high importance to the company. We have been very successful in TETRA repeater business and the scaling of production capacity has been one of the major challenges. From customer order to the shipment of these 50 units took less than 6 weeks. This proves that we have succeeded in improving our performance as a company“, continues Jyrki.

Improved and remodelled Radio Testing-webpages launched
26. October 2011
Radio Testing market area has been developing at a constant pace and new filter models are developed at a monthly base. The website had run its course and it was time to develop them to meet the needs of customers more effectively. The new webpages contain all the necessary information on all the filter types Creowave manufactures, as well as a new tool to help custom filter seekers creating and sending a special request to the sales.
Band Pass Filters, Band Stop Filters, High Pass Filters, Diplexers, Duplexers and Notch Filters have each their own brochure which can be downloaded from the site. On the brochures you can find information on models and their qualities. However, if a suitable filter is not found from the product portfolio a custom filter tool has been created. With the tool you can define what type of filter is needed and with what specifications. While most of the filters are designed for custom specified needs, with this new tool Creowave wants to make the tailored filter request as easy as possible also for the customer.
-I am very pleased with the custom filter tool and the fact that we can now answer customers’ needs more specifically. Radio Testing market area is constantly developing and the product range has grown to a scale where it was not efficient anymore to update all the filter types separately. Through the tool we can find the right product for the customer, when before the customer had to search the product from among dozens of similar filters, comments Juha Heikkinen, Creowave Technical Director.
