EQUANS: a brand, from positioning to action
Signage, trade fairs, premises, our new EQUANS brand is being deployed as close to the field as possible - thanks to our local teams across the globe!
A brand that unites clients and employees around a common project is the ambition pursued after the creation of EQUANS on July 1st.
This ambition is taking shape as the brand is deployed throughout the world. It's gradually unifying all of our expertise in a common vision: building an efficient, safe and connected world. It gives substance to our mission: to support major transitions by providing a balanced response ("ANSwer") in a context where the relationship between the economy and ecology is changing.
As a strategic and operational steering tool, a communication tool of course, but also a management tool that unites employees, the deployment adapts to the particularities of all our countries at the speed of light! Our brand is the common banner of a commitment that we want to be unfailing.
The car is a strong display of our local footprint, especially in very large territories like Australia. It's a driving billboard.
Caroline Bommes Head of Marketing and Communications, Australia & New Zealand
Students need meaning, EQUANS gives its concrete jobs a capacity to contribute to the energy transition to achieve global performance: technical, economic & low carbon.
Elvia Marcellan Director Customer Decarbonation France
Energy & digital transitions, in particular, are at the heart of local authorities' issues. With EQUANS, they have a partner who can help them think about the use and development of the data produced in their areas, for the benefit of users.
Raphael Contamin Director of EQUANS Digital Solutions
As well as embedding our new visual identity, we need to work together to tell a strong, coherent story that both conveys our sense of purpose and establishes our credentials to a wide range of audiences.

Accelerate the transformation of your production sites thanks to 5G with Equans
The deployment of the latest mobile technology will accelerate the transition to Industry 4.0. It offers an alternative to current 4G LTE or Wi-Fi, with interesting prospects in terms of bandwidth, latency, and service quality, and therefore new possibilities for use. 5G will thus facilitate and accelerate the potential of real-time man-to-machine/machine-to-machine communication, robotics, connected sensors, digital models and digital twins, IoT (Internet of Things) and telecontrol as well as hypervision. Combined, these processes create a promising prospect: the smart factory based on a network of interconnected sensors that allows for automated and optimised control of a robotic production line. Factory 4.0 will not only be more efficient. Its greater connectivity will allow for optimisation of energy consumption and flow management, and therefore its overall environmental impact. What's more, a 5G network inherently consumes much less power than older technology: up to 90% less than 4G, according to operators. Taking advantage of these benefits now means building a private 5G network on site. France’s Electronic Communications Regulatory Authority Arcep has authorised the testing of several 5G networks, and major industrial groups such as Arcelor Mittal have initiated experimental projects ("5G Steel"). As an integrator of Industry 4.0 solutions, Equans Digital can support future industrial sites with this new connectivity. Equans has solid expertise in telecoms equipment for companies and infrastructure: the group is a leader in Europe in the link between the physical, electrical and digital layers. As an "agnostic" solution integrator, Equans Digital can suggest relevant use cases exploiting new connectivity models via 5G thanks to its in-depth knowledge of industrial processes. With this in mind, the organisation is preparing to upgrade its Industry 4.0 Lab in Montargis (France) to include 5G. Equans is part of the Bouygues Group, which also has operator capacity through Bouygues Telecom, a key 5G player in France, with which Equans could combine forces.
