Atlanta –
June 29, 2023 - Vantiva (Euronext
Paris: VANTI; OTC Pink: TCLRY), formerly known as Technicolor,
today announced it has partnered with Orange Belgium to design and
deploy the Livebox, their latest generation DOCSIS 3.1 hybrid fiber
coaxial (HFC) gateway and its Wi-Fi 6 extender booster. The Livebox
will also enable Orange Belgium to launch a new Boost Giga offering
at 1Gbps with 95% nationwide coverage by mid-2024. Based on the new
flagship of Vantiva’s DOCSIS portfolio and specially customized for
Orange Belgium, the Livebox is the most advanced and sustainably
built HFC gateway for the consumer and business market with an
end-to-end Wi-Fi 6 solution.
“The Livebox is a testament to Orange Belgium’s
commitment to innovation and superior digital experiences,”
comments Philippe Toussaint, Chief Technology Officer Fixed Network
at Orange Belgium. “Partnering with Vantiva, the industry leader in
DOCSIS 3.1, RDK, and Wi-Fi technologies, we have developed a modem
built on cutting-edge technology and powered by the globally
acclaimed open software RDK-B. With its multi-gigabit capabilities,
it sets new benchmarks in connectivity and unlocks a world of
advanced and value-added experiences for our consumer and business
customers.”
“Orange Belgium is fully dedicated to offer its
customers nothing but the best, with personalized solutions to meet
the unique needs of each customer,” adds Christophe Dujardin, Chief
Consumer Officer at Orange Belgium. “Thanks to the Livebox, our
customers can enjoy a state-of-the-art gigabit experience at home
with increased speed options like Boost Giga, the fastest internet
available with speeds of 1Gbps. The modem is also a symbol of our
common commitment to a greener future and of our response to the
increasing demand for sustainable products.”
The Livebox, based on the worldwide open
software RDK-B, is multi-gigabit enabled, thanks to the latest
generation of DOCSIS 3.1 chipset and has a built-in 2.5 Gbps
ethernet port. The Livebox is designed with advanced Wi-Fi 6 and a
tower that optimizes Wi-Fi performance to connect all devices in
the home. The gateway also includes EasyMesh technology and the new
Wi-Fi 6 extender booster for a seamless extension of Wi-Fi
service.
In addition, both the gateway and Wi-Fi Booster
modules have been designed to reduce the carbon footprint as they
are easy to refurbish, made from 95% recycled plastic, exclude
single-use plastics and are packaged with recycled cardboard.
This project is an additional proof of Vantiva's
commitment to sustainability as recognized by being awarded the
Platinum Medal for the second straight year by EcoVadis, one of the
world’s leading corporate social responsibility rating agencies.
Vantiva ranked among the top 1% of companies worldwide rated by the
agency and was also ranked in the top 2% of companies worldwide
rated by S&P Global.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Orange
Belgium as they look to the future and continue to provide
exceptional service and tailored solutions to their customers,
which has always been a key to Orange Belgium’s success,” said
Mercedes Pastor, senior vice president of the Global Customer Unit
at Vantiva. “This partnership truly showcases the innovation and
commitment to excellence that defines Vantiva. With our dedicated
teams at our R&D centers in Belgium and France, The Livebox is
sustainably built and has been specially customized to meet Orange
Belgium’s specific requirements to be seamlessly integrated into
