Teleca wins order for mobile ambulance logging system Teleca has been commissioned by the region of Västra Götaland (VGR) in Sweden to produce an integrated ambulance logging system for the whole region. The project will last for 3 years, after which it may be extended. The total value of the order is more than SEK 10 M. VGR is one of the first local government authorities to take a comprehensive, unified approach to the entire area of ambulance information systems.

Ambulances will be equipped with mobile units and hand-held computers to increase the level of on- scene assistance available. "The contract will give our solution a strong position in the market. Together with Teleca we've shown that we offer a solution that appeals to a large and demanding customer," says Anders Dahlgren, head of marketing at Zait. "Teleca's leading position in mobile communications and Zait's many years of experience in the healthcare sector were both important factors in our choice of partner. The collaboration between the two companies is seen as very fruitful," says Bengt Petersson at VGR.
