Orange Premieres Deep Sleep Mode with SoftAtHome in New Wi-Fi 6E Livebox
PARIS, April 8, 2022, /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

One of the first Wi-Fi 6E Operator boxes in the world, the new Livebox 6 is 
eco-responsible and offers the latest digital home services with the best Wi-Fi 
Experience possible 

SoftAtHome, an independent software company for broadband, video, and 
analytics, is a central contributor to one of the world's first Wi-Fi 6E 
operator box launches with Orange's new Livebox 6. 

One of the World's First Wi-Fi 6E Operator Boxes

The new Livebox 6 allows Orange to provide the best Wi-Fi experience in terms 
of bandwidth and latency available today. The box brings Wi-Fi 6E, and its 
compatibility with the new Orange application "Orange et Moi" lets users manage 
the Livebox directly from their smartphone. SoftAtHome's Wifi'ON Smart Wi-Fi 
product powers the Livebox 6. Subscribers will see improved in-home 
connectivity for a smoother Internet experience thanks to the next-gen Wi-Fi 
services that the 6E standard enable. Wi-Fi bandwidth can be rise to 2 Gbps. 
The added radio spectrum and automatic tri-band steering between 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz 
and 6 GHz bands drastically reduce network saturation to improve network 
experience while working from home or enjoying entertainment.

Ease of Use: Equipped with Eyes'ON for Self-Care Empowerment 

Thanks to an innovative e-ink screen, user-friendly diagnostics can be 
displayed as well as contextualized QR codes to ease self-care through the 
mobile app, users can quickly launch speed tests or share a QR code to connect 
new devices or guests.

Equipped with Eyes'ON by SoftAtHome, the Livebox 6 empowers the end-user with 
self-care capacities. The Orange & Moi mobile App helps with the box 
installation at home. It provides real-time analytics to help fix issues using 
self-diagnosis and optimally position repeaters within the home using a network 
map and speed-test features. 

A Step Towards Sustainability

The Livebox 6 has an eco-friendly design with an automated green mode: when no 
Wi-Fi 6E device is detected, the 6 GHz band automatically switches off. It will 
not be reactivated until a Wi-Fi 6E device is detected. The end-user can 
activate either a light or a deep sleep mode to reduce energy consumption 
further (below 0.3 W). These modes are directly configurable from within the 
mobile App or the gateway's touch screen.

Connect'ON and Improved Quality of Services 

Livebox 6 integrates SoftAtHome's Connect'ON to optimise the Quality of 
Services and deliver the best bandwidth possible. The home network services 
that subscribers expect from premium devices, such as, for example, parental 
control or a Guest WLAN, are all present. Orange's new gateway is also the 
first equipped with a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, enabling end to end 2Gbps 
bandwidth.

"At Orange, we have been innovating with our supplier SoftAtHome. This is the 
first box in the market with a deep sleep mode. Together we have delivered the 
most powerful Wi-Fi and home connectivity product and services," said Laurent 
Feurer, Product Marketing Director for Broadband Devices and Telco services at 
Orange. "With our new Livebox 6 that includes Wi-Fi 6E, our French subscribers 
are among the first to enjoy the new Wi-Fi capabilities from the latest Wi-Fi 
standard".

"With new post-pandemic Wi-Fi requirements, the entire SoftAtHome team was 
committed to ensuring that the new Livebox 6 was up to the challenge,” said 
David Viret-Lange, CEO of SoftAtHome. "We are proud of Orange's renewed 
confidence in our expertise in the Connected Home Experience".
