The signing appointment cannot be moved
A property chain, a mortgage offer with the clock running, parties who have travelled a long way, someone appearing by video conference: every one of them has already moved their diary once.
Sector — Notarial practices
The signing has been in the diary for weeks. A digger is not going to move it.
Mortgage approved, removals booked, a seller who has travelled a long way, sometimes a party appearing remotely: the signing appointment tolerates no outage. We operate the link that carries it — and it never leaves with a single path.
- Arcep operator identifier: SKBS
- 4G/5G relay supplied as standard with every connection
- Proactive 24/7 monitoring of your links
The real issue
A property chain cannot be rescheduled.
On completion day, several diaries have already moved once: the mortgage offer is running, the removals are booked, the seller has travelled a long way. What stops then is not an IT service — it is a commitment made by people who are not on your payroll.
Three constraints
What makes a notarial practice different from any other office.
The practice is where it all passes through
Identity documents, bank statements, movements of funds: a practice concentrates exactly what fraud hunts for everywhere else. The email that changes bank details at the last minute is known to the whole profession.
A practice never works alone
Land registry, banks, town halls, fellow notaries, clients sending their documents from a phone: some of these exchanges still go through a fax machine, on a line whose cut-off date is already set.
The room that must not go down
The signing room,
The signing room,
treated like an operating theatre.
The socket at the table, the handset and the video conferencing bar are wired, prioritised and acceptance-tested before the first appointment.
- Voice and video take priority over downloads from the rest of the practice
- Acceptance testing before commissioning: we measure, we do not assume
- Your numbers kept through number portability, without changing a single digit — they are printed on your deeds
- One single internal numbering plan, covering the practice and the branch office
The objection we hear
“And what if it goes down in the middle of a signing?”
It is the only question that matters, and we do not answer it with a promise. Every connection leaves with its 4G/5G mobile relay: our build standard, not a box ticked on a quote. At installation, we unplug the fibre in front of you. And we put in writing what the backup does not cover: a power cut with no UPS, an area with no usable mobile coverage.
The end of copper
Your lines have a date.
Your lines have a date.
It is already written.
There are two closures, not one. Since 31 January 2026, a line that fails can no longer be replaced like for like. The technical closure arrives batch by batch, town by town: we check the date for the practice and for the branch office alike.
What stops with the line is not just the telephone: the fax machine, of which notaries are among the last regular users; the remote alarm monitoring transmitter, often linked to the monitoring centre over copper; the lift emergency telephone, because a practice is open to the public. Equipment that appears to work is not proof: we run a real test before anything is cut off.

Inside the practice
What we wire, and what we monitor.
The one-stop shop
Several providers passing the buck,
Several providers passing the buck,
or a single one that picks up.
B2B Telecoms
Fibre connection under our own operator identifier, hosted switchboard, number portability for your direct lines, rooms fitted with handsets and video conferencing bars.
Our telecoms divisionCybersecurity
Segregation of uses, a visitor network kept apart from the practice’s own, encrypted remote access, data hosted in France and segregated by client.
Protect the practiceAI agents
Out-of-hours reception, sorting incoming requests. One task to start with, bounded in writing, and someone on your team approves every action.
What we build in AIDigital acceleration
The practice’s website, an up-to-date business listing, local visibility, and an app when a website is no longer enough.
Our digital divisionWhat we carry
- The fibre connection, which we operate ourselves, and its 4G or 5G backup
- The local network, the cabling and the rack, labelled and documented
- The signing room: sockets, traffic priorities, acceptance testing before service
- Telephony, your numbers kept, and continuous monitoring
What stays at your premises
- Your deed-drafting software and its publisher — your choice. We provide the network that keeps it online.
- Your signing certificate — personal by design. We carry the link, never the keys.
- The electronic register of original deeds and evidential-value archiving — they belong to your profession, not to a telecoms operator.
- The video conferencing system through which you receive a party remotely — we carry the link and the room, never the system. And reading the deed aloud : there, frankly, we are no use at all.

Questions from partner notaries
What we are asked in meetings
Does the 4G/5G backup really hold a video conference?
It holds the critical uses; it does not reproduce a fibre connection. A controlled degraded mode, not a clone. That is why we measure the mobile coverage on site, at the exact spot where the antenna will go, before selling: if it is not good enough, we say so and we look for another route.
We have a branch office. Does everything have to be duplicated?
No. Both sites share the same switchboard and the same segregation rules, under centralised monitoring. A transfer between the practice and the branch becomes a two-digit call.
Does everything have to be replaced at once?
No, and it would be a bad idea. A written inventory first: every line, every number, every connected device, site by site. Then the batch and the availability check, the replacement plan, the switchover and the tests. The old line is cancelled last: no day without a phone.
The first step
Have your lines checked,
Have your lines checked,
the practice and the branch office included.
Send us your telecoms invoices and the list of your addresses. We will tell you what is still on copper, which batch each site belongs to, and what is still plugged into an analogue line without anyone remembering it.
We come and see the practice
A visit on site, an inventory of the lines and equipment still connected to copper, and a written switchover plan.
