We are proud to announce that our Fredon VIC Electrical & Technology teams were winners in the Voice/Data Communications & Audio Visual and Women in Energy categories:
Winner Voice/Data Communications & Audio Visual – Frankston Hospital
Congratulations to the Fredon Electrical & Technology VIC teams who have been recognised with the Voice/Data Communications & Audio-Visual Award for their work on the Frankston Hospital Redevelopment.
As one of Victoria’s largest health infrastructure projects, the Frankston Hospital Redevelopment demanded innovative, reliable and highly integrated technology solutions to support world-class patient care.
Our team delivered the design, installation, testing and commissioning of a diverse range of complex clinical and non-clinical AV systems, including operating theatres, medical imaging rooms, meeting spaces, IPTV and digital signage. Working collaboratively with project partners, we successfully integrated these systems with the hospital’s ICT and communications infrastructure to create a future-ready healthcare environment.
This award is a testament to the expertise, dedication and collaboration of our Technology team and project partners, whose commitment to excellence made this outstanding achievement possible.
Congratulations to everyone involved in delivering this award-winning project. We are honoured to have contributed to a facility that will support the healthcare needs of Melbourne’s south-east for generations to come.
