LONDON (Dow Jones)--Sepura PLC (SEPU.LN), a global provider of TETRA digital radios, said Wednesday the Board's expectations of increased volumes and revenue this year remain as previously advised, weighted towards the second half and subject to the inherent lumpiness in the TETRA market. MAIN FACTS: -Continues to be successful in Germany and has received confirmation of the award of the Rheinland-Pfalz tender. -This four year framework contract is to supply all of the police, fire and rescue services across the State with up to 37,000 terminals. -This win, which follows the award of Saarland announced in June, confirms the company's position as market leader in the world's largest TETRA market with over 60% of the volumes awarded to date. -Expects deliveries to Rheinland-Pfalz to begin during the second half of the year and remains confident that, given this important new win and other German contracts awarded to date, total volumes in Germany this year will significantly exceed those delivered last year. -Delays due to reappraisal of capital budgets in the U.K. and Southern Europe mean that the company expects first half to be slow but, bolstered by its strong position in Germany, it expects the second half to be strong and volumes for the full year to be on target. -Shares at 1105 GMT down 1.0 pence, or 2.2%, at 44.0 pence.
