CASTEL manufactures embedded intercom and access control platforms for industrial, medical, banking, and critical infrastructure environments. The stack — C/C++, Linux, Yocto, SIP/VoIP, ARM, VHDL — reflects a hardware-forward company building real-time systems, and active hiring in embedded engineering signals scaling of product development. Projects around AI integration, Linux BSP work, and massive data processing suggest the company is moving beyond passive access control toward intelligent security solutions.
CASTEL designs and manufactures intercom and access control systems for demanding environments: industrial facilities, hospitals, banks, transport hubs, prisons, and defense installations. Founded in 1970, the company has built 50+ years of expertise in voice, image, and data communication across IP/SIP, digital, and analog protocols. The product range spans professional intercom systems and security gateways deployed in environments where reliability and compliance are non-negotiable. Based in Neuillé, Maine-et-Loire, France, the company operates as a privately held organization with 51–200 employees, currently expanding engineering and product capacity.
CASTEL's core stack includes C/C++, Linux, ARM, Yocto, SIP/VoIP, Asterisk, VHDL, Jenkins, and Python. The mix reflects embedded systems work (ARM, Yocto, device tree), real-time communication (SIP, VoIP, Asterisk), and modern tooling (Linux, Python, Jenkins for CI/CD).
Active projects include embedded product development, Linux BSP and Yocto recipe work, device tree implementation, professional intercom innovation, AI/ML algorithm development, and massive data processing solutions — indicating a shift toward intelligent, data-driven security systems.
