Orange Labs in France
In France, Orange Labs are located  at : Issy les Moulineaux, Lannion, Grenoble,  Rennes, Caen, Belfort, La Turbie, and Sophia Antipolis.The immersion encourages close collaboration with local manufacturers and the reuse of alternative technical solutions for the benefit of the Group's customers.

The Issy les Moulineaux site, located in the historic building of the group's R&D, is home of Group R&D and the Orange Labs network. The team  includes 1,150 scientists working on all of the main axes of the group's Research and Development.
The Labs are world leaders, particularly in strategic projects for tomorrow's services.
The operating scope of these laboratories (including Belfort's laboratories) extends from research on personal services to those intended for the largest world businesses.

Located in Basse-Normandie, the Orange Lans in Caen opened in 1983, in the Caen-Normandie Technopole. It set up numerous contacts with the world of research, industry, universities, and developed close cooperation with local and regional associations and institutions.
The 270 scientists contribute to many European projects and defend the technical positions of the goup via their active participation in national and international standardisation organisations.
They design the integrated business services of tomorrow, including the commercial and retail sector. The business communications services have a dominant position in the research conducted at the site.
 
Located in Rhône Alpes, the Orange Labs in Meylan opened in 1983, in the "Technopole Innovallée", near Grenoble. It set up numerous contacts with the world of research, industry, and universities, and developed close cooperation with local and regional associations and institutions. It also integrates two remote sites in Sophia Antipolis and Turbie in the Alpes Maritimes region.
The telecommunications domain remains at the heart of the group's innovative approach to research and development. In this context, the Meylan site continues this tradition by imagining the products and services of tomorrow.

With 40% of French public research in telecoms located in Brittany, research is a major element of regional dynamics. Dynamics in which the group is participating actively through its Orange Labs network and its Rennes location.
It contributes actively to the development of international standardisation work to better respond to the requirements of the integrated operator.

The Lannion centre was set up in Brittany in 1963, giving birth to ANTICIPA, the technopole in Trégor. The Brittany site developed rapidly and contributed actively, with its many and fundamental innovations, to tackling France's challenges in the telecommunications field. Today, the Lannion labs, members of the Orange Labs network, are key players in the development of new services and the development of new innovative commercial offers for Orange customers.
For its first forty years of existence, the Lannion centre was the source of major innovations opening the way to large sectors of new telecommunications technologies and usages. The Lannion site, remains at the heart of the group's priorities and is still active in every field, from networks to customer services. Open towards the outside , it is developing its relations with many partners, in particular European, from the university and industrial worlds and welcomes each year nearly a hundred graduate students.
