Dunboyne, Co Meath – Tuesday 22nd March 2016: Leading two-way radio and mobile communications supplier, EMR Integrated Solutions today announced its entry to the Irish pager market, with its appointment as distributor for Swissphone’s range of pagers, pager accessories and alerting systems in the Republic of Ireland.
The deal combines EMR’s track record in delivering high performance personal mobile and two-way radio solutions to the Irish market and Swissphone’s innovative design and manufacturing capabilities in reliable alerting and work safety solutions.
At a time when some pager manufacturers are exiting the market, this latest move by EMR will support continuity of supply for critical users including those in blue light services, public and private healthcare and commercial sectors.
Commenting on the partnership Alan Feenan, director of sales with EMR said:
“Despite cannibalisation of the pager market by mobile phone technology, market demand for the technology remains strong in critical sectors such as emergency services, healthcare and industrial markets where lone worker protection remains a key health and safety issue.
“The addition of Swissphone’s portfolio of high performance pagers, pager accessories and alerting systems to our product portfolio gives Irish customers more value and choice. Swissphone’s continued commitment to quality and ongoing product development made their selection as partner a natural fit for us,” he said.
Swissphone’s products include specialist paging systems and mobile alarming products of particular interest to organisations with extremely time-critical message notification requirements.
“We are delighted to welcome EMR Integrated Solutions to Swissphone’s partner community and look forward to working with them in the Irish market,” said Angelo Saccoccia, CEO at Swissphone.
“There is a strong synergy between our companies and we believe that together we can provide Irish customers with superior paging products and services that will address their time-sensitive, mission-critical communications requirements,”
For the past 40 years, design excellence and commitment to product quality have been firmly rooted in the Swissphone company culture.

Dunboyne, Co Meath, Thursday, 19th November, 2015: Leading SCADA network and mobile telecommunications supplier, EMR Integrated Solutions today announced its expansion to the UK market, in a move that will take its portfolio of market-leading products and system design and engineering capabilities to the UK’s energy and water utility industries.
The development comes hot on the heels of a €1 million contract with Northern Ireland Water to upgrade the utility’s telemetry network.
EMR currently employs 22 at its base in Dunboyne, Co Meath and hopes to add to that number with the establishment of its UK base. The company specialises in designing and building wireless communication for media organisations as well as SCADA and telemetry networks for energy suppliers and water companies.
Mark Quinn, managing director with EMR believes that significant opportunity exists for his organisation to make a breakthrough into the UK, thanks to the rapidly changing nature of the utility industry there.
“Power generation and water utilities are facing a perfect storm of business challenges in terms of environmental constraints, security of supply and cost pressures. Aging network infrastructure is a burning issue for many of them but taking the right approach with the right integration partner will promote more efficient management of energy or water supply into the future,” he said.
The company’s UK headquarters will be based in Reading, a strategic location to target some of the market’s key players. A team of technical and project management professionals will support the rollout of EMR’s SCADA and network infrastructure deployments.
The UK utility industry is undergoing a period of substantial change, where many will be forced to re-examine their business models, according to Quinn.
“We believe we have the track record and expertise to generate strong return on network investment for all stakeholders and support continuity of supply,” he said.
EMR was founded in the early in 1980s and has a strong management team with a wealth of industry experience. The company has some of Ireland’s strongest brands on its books including ESB, Eir, RTÉ NL, Virgin Media and many of the country’s county councils.

Dunboyne, Co Meath, 18th November 2015: Leading SCADA network and mobile telecommunications supplier, EMR Integrated Solutions today announced that it has taken the prestigious ‘Distinction’ prize at the National Irish Safety Organisation’s (NISO) awards.
The annual award ceremony is an all-Ireland affair, which recognises best-in-class Irish organisations for their commitment to health and safety in the workplace. Almost 2,000 award entries were received this year from a wide range of industries.
This was the third year in a row that EMR was recognised for its strong corporate commitment to health and safety.

The company is well on track to receive the High Achiever award in 2017.

Leading SCADA network and mobile telecommunications supplier, EMR Integrated Solutions today continued its drive towards better water quality with the launch of a high performance chlorine residual analysis solution for the water industry.
ChlorNet, available exclusively through EMR in Ireland, enables quick, accurate, real-time chlorine residual measurement in the water distribution network as well as at distribution sites such as reservoirs and booster stations.
Unlike hand-held chlorine residual analysers which typically provide sporadic data based on spot checks, ChlorNet sits at the tail end of the water distribution network and delivers continuous, real time analysis allowing water service providers to determine the correct chlorine dosage for the water supply.
Data collected by ChlorNet can also be fed back into the SCADA network providing operators with a dashboard view of real-time chlorine residual levels.
Commenting on the launch, Brian Martin, director of sales for SCADA, Telemetry and Instrumentation with EMR said:
“ChlorNet represents the second launch in as many months, of solutions designed to deliver better water quality and lower operational costs. With such a high level of focus on water quality, we will continue to bring to market solutions that help service providers deliver on their public commitments in a way that makes economic sense and generates real return on investment.”
Incorrect chlorine dosage in the drinking water supply could pose a public safety risk and the Environmental Protection Agency has set down strict standards around chlorine residual that must be available to protect against harmful bacteria.
Chlornet, follows the launch of NephNet, the most accurate and reliable turbidity sensor on the market. NephNet is a portable, battery-operated monitor, which offers months of continuous, accurate readings at low levels. NephNet is also available exclusively through EMR.
EMR’s managing director, Mark Quinn today presented to over 40 delegates at a major UK water industry conference.
The conference, entitled ‘Water: Process Control and Automation Engineering for the Water Industry’ and organised by the Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the most important events in the UK water industry’s calendar.
At a dedicated workshop, facilitated by the organisers, Mark presented on the future of digital polling radio in the UK utility water sector. He explored many aspects of the topic including next generation telemetry network and the drivers for change, the challenges of existing technologies and architecture, designing the engineer-led solution, RF network planning and engineering and managing the migration process.
Commenting on the session, Mark said: “It was clear from the level of engagement from delegates that many utilities are struggling with the question of managing and future-proofing their telemetry networks. As IP networks gather pace, many utilities are faced with issues around protecting existing network investment and preparing the ground for future technology developments.”
This year’s conference took place in Stratford on Avon, UK.
Leading SCADA network and mobile telecommunications supplier, EMR Integrated Solutions today announced the launch of ATI’s NephNet to the Irish market, a high performance turbidity monitoring solution for the water industry.
Available exclusively through EMR, the solution has already saved the UK water industry millions of pounds through reconditioning of existing water mains instead of evasive cleaning and/or re-lining.
NephNet is a portable, battery-operated turbidity monitor, which offers months of continuous, accurate readings at low levels. The NephNet is the only device that can monitor continuously and for long periods of time to deliver high alarms of events.
Commenting on the launch, Brian Martin, director of sales for SCADA, Telemetry and Instrumentation with EMR said:
“The NephNet solution is a key component in our move towards providing an automatic flushing system for distribution networks, based on quality monitoring and not pre-programmed flushing routines. This will maintain quality standards achieved at production throughout the network and promote water conservation,” he said.
NephNet is the most accurate and reliable turbidity sensor on the market, a finding supported by the University of Sheffield who backed by the UK water industry spent two years conducting research into its operation.
NephNet is available exclusively through EMR.
