The technical solution chosen 

There are several manufacturers and teleassistance solutions that represent a safe and reliable way of communication. Today, according to the telephone subscription, several teleassistance offers are proposed: it can be used by the suscriber’s phone line and/or the cellular network in case of non-unbundled zone or back up.

These SIM cards provided by Synox are specific to sensure a better communication between the machines and a continuous service thanks to their ability to connect to different 2G/3G/4G networks.

For over 10 years now, the Alerte Association has been using Synox’s SIM cards to ensure a safe communication of its teleassistance units.
