The SAP services run in T-Systems’ Swiss computing centres at Zollikofen and Langenthal. 24-hour operation is guaranteed 365 days a year – because Rega is permanently in use in order to be able to help injured people quickly and without complications from the air. The redundant operation guarantees the necessary system stability.
