In 2019, our teams delivered a new-generation, multi-operator radio infrastructure — an ‘active’ radio solution providing optimal connectivity for the new 40,000m² Société du Grand Paris headquarters, ‘MOODS’, designed by the renowned architecture firm Valode & Pistre.

Located in the Plaine Saint-Denis in Île-de-France, Axione employees successfully carried out the installation of a 3G and 4G indoor mobile network including 90 antennae. Boasting a unique architectural design, the building communicates weather information in real time using neon lighting that changes colour based on the weather forecast over the coming three hours. Hence the name ‘MOODS’ given to this bright and brilliant work by François Morellet.

For this new-build project we would like to thank in particular the SDEL ITT CONCILIO company, a subsidiary of VINCI ENERGIE, who entrusted us with the task of the radio coverage construction, as well as the technical consultancy for the project. PARELLA. This is a terrific project success for our company, which has been achieved within the context of a large-scale architectural project.

The MOODS project posed a major organisational and operational challenge, as we had to provide this building with GSM and full Wi-Fi connectivity using the FTTO (Fibre to the Office) system, within a very tight timeframe of less than 4 months.”
