SoftAtHome Software Powers Orange’s Eco-Designed Wi-Fi 7 Revolution for All

PARIS, France – 22 May 2025 – SoftAtHome, an independent software provider for broadband, video, and analytics, is proud to announce its instrumental role in enabling the launch of Orange France’s two new Wi-Fi 7 Liveboxes: the high-end Livebox 7 and the all-new mid-range Livebox S. These launches mark a significant milestone in the democratisation of next-generation Wi-Fi experiences, with a strong emphasis on sustainability, scalability, and software-driven innovation.

 

Empowering Eco-Designed Innovation for Millions of Homes

SoftAtHome’s embedded software platform brings operator-grade intelligence to Orange’s eco-designed devices. From recycled plastics and E-ink displays to fanless architecture and smart power management, the Livebox 7 introduces Intelligent Wi-Fi features that dynamically disable unused bands, reducing energy consumption by up to 30%.

“Our latest Liveboxes are not just faster—they’re greener and smarter,” said Guillaume Lacroix, Director Consumer Products & Services at Orange France.  “With Wi-Fi 7 and simplified installation, we bring next-gen connectivity to more households while meeting our environmental commitments. SoftAtHome’s software platform plays a key role in delivering these new experiences.”

 

A Continued Expansion: Bringing Wi-Fi 7 to More Households

After having supported Orange Poland and Swisscom in launching Europe’s first Wi-Fi 7 service, SoftAtHome now brings its connected home expertise to France. This latest deployment makes ultra-fast and sustainable connectivity more accessible than ever. With symmetric speeds of up to 8 Gbit/s for the high-end Livebox 7 and over five years of leading customer satisfaction in fibre, Orange France relies on SoftAtHome to continuously elevate the home connectivity experience.

 

Software-Driven Transformation: The Power Behind Livebox 7

SoftAtHome’s platform enables a significant generational leap through software, with the Livebox 7 now supporting Wi-Fi 7 and Multi-Link Operation (MLO). This allows connected devices to simultaneously utilise multiple bands, resulting in faster speeds, lower latency, and increased reliability, particularly in demanding home environments.

The seamless integration with Orange’s mobile apps, care systems, and repeaters is made possible through SoftAtHome’s unified and flexible software approach, ensuring consistent performance across all customer touchpoints.

“We’re proud to be the trusted software partner powering this new generation of Liveboxes,” said Arnaud Bellivier de Prin, CEO at SoftAtHome. “This launch proves how software can enable sustainable, high-performance connectivity at scale. Together with our operator partners, we are building the connected home experience of tomorrow.”

 

Livebox S: Smart Design for Wider Reach

Replacing the Livebox 5, the Livebox S is a new mid-range offering featuring a SoftAtHome-powered display and the industry-first integrated optical pencil for simplified fibre installation. With support for Wi-Fi 7 and a sleek, vertical design, Livebox S brings next-gen connectivity to an even broader audience.

SoftAtHome’s software seamlessly powers Livebox S, built on two distinct hardware platforms, underlining the scalability and agility of its platform across different hardware environments.
