- The canton of Vaud’s Fire Safety Service (ECA)
- Lead Text
- The canton of Vaud’s Fire Safety Service (ECA) has opened its new headquarters in Lausanne. The ECA is the only organisation in Switzerland to have brought together all three emergency services (117, 118 and 144) under one roof, as well as the head office of the Cantonal Management Staff and civil protection. Equans Switzerland was in charge of the building’s radio communication infrastructure.

- <b>A high-performance system</b>
What’s unique about the new headquarters is that it unites all of the canton’s emergency service numbers (117, 118 and 144, as well as the on-call doctor service), the infrastructure belonging to the Cantonal Management Staff (CMS) and the head office of the canton’s civil protection service (PCi-VD), alongside the future headquarters of the Lausanne-Morges Traffic Management Service (GCTA). It hosts a total of 190 specialist phone operators who receive an average of 2'700 calls a day. The canton will thus soon be equipped with one of the most effective emergency services and disaster management systems in Switzerland.

- Reliable radio solutions
- Beschreibung 2
- And that’s where Equans Switzerland came in, providing proven expertise in radio communication and mobile telephony. Our experts developed all the infrastructure required by the different emergency services.
One of the key elements is the distributed antenna system (DAS), which is capable of combining professional radio networks and public mobile networks to ensure comprehensive coverage within the building across all the required channels and frequencies. The automated system is designed to work uninterrupted 24/7, 365 days a year. Redundancies prevent disruptions to the service in the case of system failures or maintenance work. The tried-and-tested technology also ensures that the system can be upgraded, both technologically and in terms of scale (e.g. adding new interfaces at a later date).
This fast, secure, reliable solution equips the ECA and its partners with what they need to provide the best possible response to the public’s safety needs.
