Brutele VOO

Belgian telecoms provider standardises on UTCFS solutions
   

Brutele VOO

Founded in 1986 in a small city near Brussels, Brutele VOO has rapidly expanded its business in terms of both territory and activities. The company started out as a cable television provider and now offers a wide range of services including broadband internet transmission of data and speech signals, intranet technology and video surveillance, among others. This wide range of services was made possible by significant investments in fibre-optic networks and the renovation of coax networks. Serving over 300,000 customers, Brutele VOO realises a yearly turnover of over €53 million serving both private and corporate clients in Belgium.

Pre-existing situation & UTCFS’s role

As Brutele VOO’s business expanded, it gradually started equipping its sites with networked fire detection, access control and intrusion detection systems. This is a continuous process, with expansion plans already in place for the coming years. Given the scale of this networked operation, Brutele VOO looked for a security manufacturer to assist with the design of systems for each site and to be available to solve technical issues. As a proven provider to the Belgian market, UTCFS was selected.

UTCFS’s solution

UTCFS and its local installer, CGE, have equipped nearly 20 Brutele VOO sites with fire detection and access control systems. The biggest sites each have more than 200 smoke and heat detectors in place for fire detection and about 25 doors protected by access control. Security at every site is managed from Brutele's central control room in Brussels, using UTCFS's Alliance security management system, an easy to use, efficient and reliable security management tool when operating across a large number of sites. Brutele VOO can count on the support of UTCFS's professionals who, together with the team from CGE, lend technical assistance whenever it is needed. As Brutele VOO expands its business, new sites are equipped with UTCFS’s solution, resulting in a standardised, efficient and networked security system providing continued peace of mind.
