A site that is on no map
No street number, a temporary set-up, and in a few months everything moves on somewhere else. Connecting the building you are handing over is another matter entirely: two jobs, two timetables.
Nobody trenches a cable for the length of one work package. We measure the coverage at the exact spot where the antenna will be mounted, then we deliver a connection that holds clocking-in, video calls and sending the drawings out.
A tender goes in before the deadline, to the minute. An outage that day cannot be made up: the bid does not go out, and the whole estimating team that prepared it has been paid for nothing.

Working drawings, BIM models, the week’s photographs: in your business, the bulk of it goes out. That is the criterion that decides between shared fibre and dedicated fibre, with its restoration guarantee written into the contract.
The lone worker alarm, the depot alarm, the link to the remote alarm monitoring centre: often a line nobody has opened up in ten years. It still works — and that is exactly what stops anyone dealing with it.
Where there is nothing to connect to, the 4G or 5G connection is the main path. We measure the coverage on site before selling; if it is not good enough, we say so.
That is exactly the ground we exist on. The best offers from the national operators often stop at the densely populated areas, without anyone saying so. We work with almost every operator on the market, publicly funded regional networks and public service concessions included: we compare what each of them can actually deliver at that particular address, not our catalogue. When the coverage is not there, the answer is “no”, in writing before you sign.
Head office, the depots, the branches, and site compounds that open and close as the contracts come and go. Whoever designs your set-up monitors it — and is the one who picks up the phone. One invoice, however many addresses are open.
No copper offer sold in France any more.
Lines stop working in these towns.
After that, there is no more copper.
Two closures, not one. The commercial one has already happened: a line that fails can no longer be reordered. The technical one is spread batch by batch, town by town. We check the date for every one of your sites.
We take stock, we replace, then we run a real test: does the transmission actually reach the monitoring centre? The old line is cancelled last.
The end is planned from the day of installation: what leaves with the team, what goes back to the depot, what transfers to the next job. It is written down before anything is fitted, not discovered during the strip-out.
No, and it is the first weakness we find in the installations we take over: a guest network sitting on the same sockets as the accounts department. Everyone on their own segment, over a single set of cabling.
At head office, a radio connection takes over on its own. On a site compound the question is reversed: here, the connection is radio. What makes the difference is the order of priority — voice and the business application come before backups.
Send us your telecoms invoices and the list of your addresses. You leave with something in writing: what is still hanging on copper, what is being billed without being used, and what we propose.
