Business Development Manager - Germany, Austria, Switzerland

There are more than 250 commercial TETRA installations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We have been successful to support several customers to refresh their TETRA radios with Sepura and there are many more opportunities in public transports, prisons, public services, or Industrial sites just to name a few.

There are also several hundreds of organisations in Germany who have applied for and received licences for frequencies for 5G Campus infrastructure. The actual installations are in different phases, and these are the basis for opportunities for sales of Broadband radios to be explored, while the list of licensees for the frequencies grows.

The new BDM for DACH will help assess and address these opportunities in TETRA as well as in Broadband environment.
