SPIE and CapX Nederland’s sign deal to distribute, install & support Druid private 4G & 5G networks

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Thursday 15^th March 2018 – The internationally renowned SPIE Netherlands, have a well-established DAS (distributed antenna system) network for improving public mobile coverage for many customers spanning numerous vertical segments. Today’s deal signing with Druids’ distributor CapX Netherland, to access Druids private cellular network technology for mission critical enterprise and IoT deployments marks a move by SPIE to address the dedicated, low latency, wireless coverage requirements of their customers in segments like Healthcare, Manufacturing, Industrial IoT, Venues, Hospitality to name but a few.

To have the Irish governments support, and Irish Ambassador for the Netherlands, Mr. Kevin Kelly, with us today for this deal signing is very important. With Brexit talks on going, progress and growth for Irish companies like Druid in other EU member states is vital to help deal with the impact the drop in UK exports is bringing.

In mission critical environments like Healthcare and elderly care, Druids software application is so easy to scale and provides easy integration of the latest Nurse Call applications, auto location technology. Druid’s private network guarantees staff a quality of service (QoS), using any cellular device for data, messaging, and voice services anywhere on the campus outside or in building on a dedicated cellular network controlled and managed easily by the staff.

The Druid application effectively turns the cellular device into a pager, location tracking device and nurse call delivery and reporting tool. Some of Druids larger hospital installations deliver over 10 million critical staff calls a year and have been the technology of choice for many years now in the Netherlands for dedicated wireless coverage.

Recent industry feedback at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week would suggest the simplicity of use for the IT manager in using the Druid dash board to monitor all KPIs for essential calls, messaging and data traffic on these mission critical private networks is one of the key reasons Druids application is being adopted across all these sectors as the technology of choice.

Tadhg Kenny, head of business development for Druids Dutch market said “While our software application plays an essential part in providing the best dedicated quality mobile coverage available today, it is our local technology partners in each market and their ability to execute excellence in radio planning and integration with the latest business process applications that completes the solution. Their ability to integrate the Druid “Raemis” application with the latest Nurse call, MCPTT (mission critical push to talk), Man down, Lone works alarms ensures the end customers reap the benefits and efficiencies these environments cannot do without.”

Paul van Gasselt, CEO of CapX Nederland said “The deal we are signing today with SPIE and Druid, is a significant mile stone for CapX. We are working on some very exciting projects where Druids private networks will play a key role in delivering the latest private 4G networks with our various radio partners.

We feel Druid have the best 2G/3G/4G core software application on the market. However, it is their commitment and support which is just as important in helping CapX and our system integrators deliver the best quality wireless network coverage.”

“Some of Druids key competitors” van Gasselt continues “are based in the UK. With the uncertainty surrounding Brexit it is critical for us that Druid are an Irish company, and that we are dealing with a company that remains within the Euro Zone.”

Ad de Korte, Business Development Manager for SPIE Netherlands said “Private networks has been a missing piece in our product portfolio that we are have been keen to address since we have seen private 4G networks being deployed.

We have successfully improved the public coverage for many customers in the Netherlands over the years using DAS (distributed antenna systems). We know and understand cellular coverage and adding Druids industry leading private networks with this agreement with CapX opens up a lot of new 4G & 5G business opportunities for SPIE.”
