ATLANTA - eTradeWire -- 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.
