Rénosystèmes – In-station implementation (TCPE rooms) (Montreal) (in progress).  The programme to maintain fixed metro equipment is intended to replace or renovate the initial equipment and systems of the STM. A portion of the project involves completely modernizing more than sixty-five telecommunications rooms. Each room includes an emergency network associated with a static uninterruptible power unit (SUPU), equipped with an external bypass switch, an isolated ground, K13 transformers, transitory voltage surge suppression equipment, ac/dc and dc/ac converters, and isolated ground plugs

 

Cogeco – Addition of generators and SUPUs for five COGECO sites (2003 to date).  Cogeco, a company that offers radio and television communication services, has been in business for more than 40 years. Its cable division is the second largest cable operator in Ontario and Quebec and the fourth largest in Canada. Dessau was assigned to add SUPUs and generators in order to maintain user services from Cogeco’s five main sites.

 

360Networks – Retrofitting of telecommunication rooms, Canada (2003).   360Networks is one of the leading telecommunications carriers in Canada and North America; since 1997, 360Networks has been deploying its high speed fibre optics network throughout North America. For the purposes of this deployment project, 360networks has mandated Dessau to complete related studies as well as provide design, engineering and supervision services in an effort to successfully implement its fibre optics network in Eastern Canada, from Toronto to Halifax.
