ANEP

What ANEP does

ANEP sas is a French technology company founded in 1979 that designs, manufactures, and installs telecommunications and remote monitoring systems for elevators. It operates as a subsidiary of the MERHAIV AND MORE group from its headquarters in Boissy-Saint-Léger, France, and originated elevator remote monitoring (télésurveillance) in France. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and serves the French market through 10 regional installation teams covering all major regions, with adjacent operations in Belgium.

The company's product portfolio centers on 4G VoIP/VoLTE mobile gateways (PGA VoIP, P4GU VoLTE) that enable migration from legacy analog telephone lines (RTC) and 2G/3G networks to IP-based communications, engineered for installation longevity beyond 2030. The P4GU received the first 4G VoLTE certification on the French network from Bouygues Télécoms in 2021. ANEP also offers the ANEP BOX family (TA, TA+, TX, TX+ telealarm and remote monitoring products launched in 2009), the ANEP ACCESS accessibility line (button boxes, displays, voice synthesis, compliant with EN 81-28 and EN 81-70, launched in 2015), the ALIM TMS II IP power supply, and the TESTEUR-BIM tester. A software suite (ANEPcenter, ANEPmonitoring, ANEPmobile, ANEPprogrammation, ANEPscan, ANEPanywhere, Portail SIM) supports device management, remote monitoring, and SIM provisioning.

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time equipment sales, turnkey installation services delivered by regional teams, and subscription-based software. Primary customer segments are French elevator companies (ascensoristes) of all sizes, call centers receiving emergency VoIP calls, telecom operators (Bouygues, SFR, Proximus) that distribute ANEP gateways, and end-asset owners including social housing (OPHLM), hospitals, hotels, and prestigious offices. Distribution occurs through direct sales with installation and through telecom operator channels, with end-to-end VoIP interoperability qualified across major French telecom integrators (ESI, AzurSoft, T2i Télécom).
