Robust communication: Operational reliability

How robust is your infrastructure? Is the structure built according to the authorities' recommendations? AFRY helps you break down government requirements and guidelines into concrete action plans to ensure operational reliability and fulfilment of government expectations.

AFRY has experience of breaking down government requirements and guidelines for concrete action plans to ensure robustness and fulfilment of the authorities' expectations. Through inventory and inspection of existing infrastructure, physical protection and documentation, any shortcomings are identified and an action plan for measures is drawn up.

With a substantiated investigation, AFRY ensures that your investment in robustness-enhancing measures takes place cost-effectively, through the right conditions and preventive work. This contributes to increased security and robustness in networks and communication infrastructure.
