Wey Technology has announceed that the new Alarm Receiving Center (ARC) in Lausanne has completed the inauguration of its new 24/7 Emergency Call Center serving citizens in the City of Lausanne and the Cantons of Vaud and Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
The new facility is a command and control room housing a broad range of highly skilled emergency response teams. Multiple public organisations (Health, Ambulance, Police, Fire and Civil Defense) that were previously separate have moved together and consolidated their operations in the new ECAvenir building located on the outskirts of Lausanne.
Designed by Swiss architects, Architram Architecture et Urbanisme, the Minergie complex houses over 300 employees who share the modern IT infrastructure and can collaborate more effectively to protect life and property.
Weytec has provided 60+ ergonomic, high-performance operator workplaces and an extra-large videowall for ARC. The Weytec solution includes flagship smartTouch keyboards, the visualisation products smartVisual for screens and the videowall, and a network architecture design that heightens IT security, preserves autonomy among the different emergency response teams, and ensures operational continuity with redundancy and resilience.
