Case Study: EDF improves employee safety and mobility with Ascom communication solutions

EDF improves site safety with Ascom across 80 sites and 1,500 access points

The customer, EDF, a leading global producer and supplier of electricity, sought to improve the safety and mobility of its employees working in demanding environments across its hydraulic power plants. The challenge was to find a robust communication solution that was easy to implement and could integrate with any existing PABX system. To address this, they partnered with vendor Ascom.

Ascom implemented a solution featuring its DECT mobile devices and a software platform. This provided a real-time view of critical information and ensured alarms were communicated to the right person at the right time. The results included improved responsiveness, better decision-making, and enhanced daily protection for employees. To date, Ascom has deployed approximately 1500 access points, 2500 terminals, and 15 alarm servers across EDF's various factory groups.
