Core offering

MAITRISE TECHNOLOGIQUE designs, manufactures, deploys, and maintains industrial electronic and IT systems for emergency call networks on roads, motorways, and urban environments. Its product portfolio includes emergency roadside telephone terminals (GSM, IP, optical fiber variants), the PIRAU communications hub, IHM921 operator workstations, and value-added services such as IoT-based monitoring and Bluetooth travel time management. The company delivers turnkey solutions spanning engineering, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance for large infrastructure operators and public authorities.

Product overview

MAITRISE TECHNOLOGIQUE offers a comprehensive emergency call and road traffic management ecosystem comprising hardware terminals, communications infrastructure, operator workstations, and value-added services. The core product line centers on the Emergency Call Network (RAU/ERTN) platform, which integrates multiple terminal types: the GSM-based MTX9000 for mobile coverage areas, the IP-based Visio box for Ethernet-connected deployments, the ETON optical station for fiber-connected highways (handling 500km per fiber), and standard/reduced/mini ERT units for varied installation contexts. These terminals connect through the PIRAU communications hub (processing 4 simultaneous calls) and are managed via the MMI 921 operator workstation supporting up to 100 hubs and 5000 terminals. Value-added services layered onto this infrastructure include Travel Time Management (using Bluetooth beacons), Lightning Incident Alert notification systems, and LoRa-based IoT services for environmental monitoring. The company maintains Made-in-France production with 95% of manufacturing within 300km of facilities.
