The Grand Paris Company (SGP) has selected the consortium made up of ENGIE Solutions and Nokia to deploy a private 4G / LTE network and the associated communication services for the new automated metro lines of the “Grand Paris” Express metro.

With 200 kilometers of network, the Grand Paris Express provides for the creation of four new lines around Paris, the extension of line 14, the construction of 68 stations and the development of new districts around these future urban centers. The Grand Paris Express will be of major importance in relieving congestion on existing public transport and in transporting Ile-de-France residents on a daily basis, without passing through Paris, by opening up areas that are currently poorly served. The Grand Paris Express will be an anchor for the development of Grand Paris with 68 new stations in the network which are intended to bring out 68 new “15-minute cities of Greater Paris” to offer the inhabitants a more ecological environment and a better quality of life. High-speed connectivity services will be provided and will meet all future operational and maintenance requirements of the Grand Paris Express, as well as the emergency and security needs of its transport network.

With its innovative team on mission solution, STREAMWIDE satisfies all the critical communication needs of the Grand Paris company (SGP), by providing voice communications (Mission Critical Voice), data communications (Mission Critical Data), video communications (Mission Critical Video), video streaming and secure multimedia conversations, thereby allowing field teams to communicate amongst themselves and share information in real-time with central coordination or crisis management teams. The geolocation and tracking services, alert and personal protection functions are also available to help improve coordination between teams, increase performance and make these new transports a safer place for both operators and passengers.

‘‘STREAMWIDE has the honor of participating in this major regional development project with the aim of making Paris a world-class metropolis. Deployed and integrated by our partner Nokia, our team on mission solution will enable the Grand Paris company to acquire a latest generation 4G PMR radio communication system. With it, the operation and maintenance teams will have resilient and modern communication and collaboration tools at their disposal. Should a major crisis develop, the solution’s interoperability with police & security forces radio systems will facilitate the coordination of all teams involved.’’ Pascal Beglin – CEO
