“We are delighted to have been selected by O2 in the UK for their home gateway offering. The agreement has re-affirmed our position as a leader in the production of IP devices and solutions.” said Georges Laplanche, Senior Vice-President, Connect Division at Technicolor. “Consumers today expect seamless home connectivity, so high performance 802.11n Wifi has to be a part of the offering, allowing bandwidth intensive services like video streaming and media sharing over their IP networks”
