Communication & Safety Systems for Nuclear Facilities
For over 55 years, SED Technologies has designed communication and safety equipment for the demands of the nuclear industry — from vault-area headsets to full plant-wide intercom systems. Our first nuclear project, supplying headsets for staff communication in the vault areas at Lake Huron Nuclear facility, set the direction the company has followed ever since: building specialized, reliable equipment for environments where standard commercial gear doesn’t hold up.
Today, SED supports nuclear operators across Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia with over 200 product types engineered for high-risk industrial environments.
Why Nuclear Facilities Choose SED Inc.
Purpose-built, not off-the-shelf. Nuclear environments bring a specific set of communication challenges: hazardous area classifications, high ambient noise, protective suit integration, and strict reliability requirements where a failed connection isn’t an option. Our systems are engineered from the ground up for these conditions rather than adapted from general-purpose commercial equipment.
Intrinsically safe by design. Our Halo Pro® headsets and related communication systems are built for intrinsically safe operation, with fast voice-activated (VOX) switching and reliable push-to-talk performance designed to avoid clipped or dropped audio in critical moments.
Decades of nuclear-specific project history. Since our founding project at OPG Bruce Nuclear, SED has completed communication and safety equipment projects for nuclear facilities worldwide, building an engineering track record specific to this sector rather than general industrial experience applied after the fact.
Industry involvement. SED is a member of the Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCNI), reflecting our ongoing engagement with the Canadian nuclear supply chain and standards community.
