Orange Business Deploys Nomadia Protect Across 4,700 Lines to Turn Technicians' Smartphones into PTI/DATI Devices
Orange Business and Nomadia: Two Leaders Answering a Critical Question
How do you assist a lone worker in the event of an accident? This question — simple in appearance, complex to implement — is at the origin of the partnership between Orange Business and Nomadia. Orange's intervention units employ technicians responsible for network maintenance and deployment, who regularly work alone, at height, in cable ducts, or on remote sites.
By choosing to distribute and deploy Nomadia Protect within its own teams and to its enterprise clients, Orange Business is making a dual commitment: protecting its own technicians and offering every safety-conscious company an innovative mobile solution — with no additional hardware investment.
Nomadia Protect transforms the technician's standard smartphone into a compliant DATI (Lone Worker Alarm Device) — no dedicated unit, no additional badge, no specific hardware to manage. The application leverages the smartphone's built-in sensors — accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS — to automatically detect at-risk situations and trigger an alert. A radically different approach from traditional hardware solutions: simpler to deploy, easier to adopt, less costly to maintain.
A Dual Alert System: Automatic and Manual
The robustness of Nomadia Protect lies in its two-level alert architecture, which maximises the detection of emergency situations regardless of the worker's condition:
The application continuously monitors at-risk situations via the smartphone's sensors. If the technician suffers a fall, prolonged immobility, or loss of verticality, the SOS alert is triggered automatically — even if the worker is unconscious or unable to act.
⚡ Fall • Immobility • Loss of verticalityThe technician can trigger an SOS at any moment with a simple, intuitive gesture: shake the smartphone three times. A voluntary trigger that covers perceived danger situations before any physical accident has occurred.
📳 3 shakes of the smartphone → Immediate SOSA Comprehensive Supervision Platform for HSE Managers
Beyond the individual protection of each technician, Nomadia Protect offers Orange's HSE managers and supervisors a centralized web supervision interface that transforms their ability to manage field teams.
Real-time mapping of each technician's position in the field, with instant GPS data feed from the smartphone.
Automated tracking of safety rounds: the system verifies that each technician completes their check-in points within the allotted timeframes.
Remote management of shift starts and ends: automatic confirmation that each technician has completed their intervention and left the work zone.
Every SOS alert (automatic or manual) is immediately notified to the supervision platform, with the precise location of the technician in difficulty.
Rights, profiles, and alert protocols managed by team, site, or intervention type — all from a single web interface.
Complete history of alerts, rescue interventions, and incidents for HSE reporting, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement.
This is the decisive advantage that sets Nomadia Protect apart from traditional PTI hardware solutions. Technicians use their existing smartphone — the one already in their pocket. No PTI unit to manage, no badge to distribute, no separate device to charge, no complex training required. The application is deployed across the 4,700 existing Orange lines with zero additional equipment.
