Telstra And Technicolor Deploy Most Advanced Home Gateways For Australian Subscribers

Telstra Gateway Max 2 and the Telstra Gateway Frontier Apply Technicolor Homeware Software to Ensure Network Connectivity and Wi-Fi Performance.

Paris (France), 17 November 2016 Technicolor (Euronext Paris: TCH; OTCQX: TCLRY) a worldwide technology leader in the media and entertainment sector, has announced that Australia’s leading telecommunications services provider, Telstra, has chosen Technicolor to develop two new home gateways designed to deliver greatly improved broadband and Wi-Fi experiences for Telstra customers: Telstra Gateway Max 2 and the Telstra Gateway Frontier.

The Telstra Gateway Frontier is Australia’s first ISP-supported hybrid mobile/fixed line gateway. The technology ensures that Australian consumers have immediate network access “out-of-the-box.” This means consumers have immediate access to broadband services via 4G LTE, even as fixed line services are being arranged. Moreover, if there should be a problem with fixed line connectivity after installation, the gateway can automatically switch over to mobile networks to offer consumers uninterrupted broadband service.

Telstra Gateway Max 2 and Telstra Gateway Frontier use the latest dual-band (2.4 & 5GHz) 4x4 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology with Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) to keep more devices connected in the home.

The two gateways offer faster Wi-Fi speeds and better coverage than any current home gateway product in the Australian market. Each can support up to 35 devices simultaneously.

Both gateways have embedded NFC chips for easy Wi-Fi connection: Android phones can be paired simply by tapping them against the gateway. The gateways also use Technicolor’s Homeware software that leverages Technicolor’s 20 years of expertise in set-top boxes, home gateways and content security.
