Information and Communication Technologies: Deploying Networks to Make Regions Smarter
In an effort to enhance their appeal, autonomy, and the quality of life for increasingly connected and demanding citizens, cities and regions are turning to technology to optimize their services. To make these services “smart,” Equans France positions itself as a solutions integrator.
Wired and wireless telecommunications infrastructure, managed services, and cybersecurity: the solutions we design, finance, implement, operate, and maintain bring together a wide range of expertise. Using cutting-edge tools that enable data collection and cross-referencing, we create new services to meet the needs of tomorrow, throughout France, from urban areas to rural regions.
A Holistic and Rational Approach to ICT
All of the solutions offered by the Group are based on an IT infrastructure: this is the common thread running through all of our backup, storage, cloud, and infrastructure offerings. Based on an analysis of a city’s or region’s needs, strengths, and weaknesses regarding universal digital access, we offer our clients development strategies and infrastructure tailored to each specific need.
The accelerating digitization of urban infrastructure and the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) are paving the way for new solutions that are not only increasingly sophisticated but also increasingly complex. Recognizing this major shift and the need for support among local governments, Equans France has built teams of experts in these cutting-edge solutions and obtained the highest levels of certification from leading manufacturers and software vendors of information system infrastructure. Furthermore, thanks to a dedicated unit, , the local government information infrastructures managed by the Group are monitored remotely, in real time, and continuously, so that the Group can take proactive and corrective action as quickly as possible in the event of an incident.
Expertise covering all needs
The Group offers a full range of solutions to meet regional connectivity needs, from installation through to preventive and corrective maintenance of networks:
- FTTH (Fiber To The Home) wired networks;

The France Very High-Speed Broadband (THD) plan, launched in 2013, enabled the teams at Equans France to support the government in its goal of providing fiber-optic coverage across the entire French territory by installing 2,772,500 connections. Over the next few years, the deployment of 500,000 new fiber-optic connections will enable the rollout of 5G, support large-scale remote work, and contribute to business competitiveness, cloud computing, and other online platforms.
