France
who we are
In France, the Group’s R&D centres are located in Issy-les-Moulineaux, Lannion, Rennes, Grenoble, Caen, Belfort, Sophia Antipolis and La Turbie.
The Orange Labs establish many contacts with the research sector, industry and universities. They also develop close collaborations with associations and local and regional institutions. Thanks to their geographical location, these R&D centres can benefit from local and regional synergies to develop joint innovations and projects.
what we do
The R&D teams of Issy-les-Moulineaux work on the Group’s major research and development areas. Member of the Orange Labs network since early 2007 and located in the historical building of France Télécom-Orange R&D, this Orange Labs is the leader for research works that are of strategic significance for tomorrow’s services. The scope of these R&D centres (including also those located in Belfort) includes research on personal services as well as services for large global companies: after the Minitel, ISDN and GSM, the Orange Labs teams now work on the new generations of infrastructure (LTE, fibre) and the new services that create value for the public at large (communication, entertainment, practical life) and for businesses (cloud computing).
The Orange Labs in Belfort was established in 1993. Over time, this R&D centre has become the Group’s centre of expertise to develop engineering methods and tools for access networks: optimisation, propagation and monitoring of mobile access networks, IS architecture and data mining of fixed access networks. Its expertise is acknowledged worldwide and more particularly in the areas of modelling of the radio channel, radio engineering, and planning tools.
Located in Lower Normandy, the Orange Labs in Caen was established in 1983 in the Caen-Normandie technology cluster. Researchers at the Caen site work together on many European projects and defend the Group’s technical positions by actively participating in activities of national and international organisations for standardisation. They design tomorrow’s integrated services dedicated to businesses, including trade and retail.
Research is a major component of the Brittany region’s dynamism. The Group is actively involved through its Orange Labs network and its Rennes location. The Rennes site is specialised in the multimedia and audiovisual sectors, and actively contributes to the development of international standardisation studies in order to better meet the needs of the integrated operator

Inaugurated in 1963, the R&D centre in Lannion gave rise to ANTICIPA, a technology cluster set in the Trégor region. In 50 years, this centre has deeply changed Trégor’s industrial landscape by contributing to the development of a high-tech ecosystem that is now known worldwide. As a key player for the implementation of new services and for the development of innovative commercial offers for the Group’s clients, the Orange Labs in Lannion deals today with all areas of telecommunications: access networks, core network, platforms, technologies, services to individuals and businesses.
Located in the Rhône-Alpes region, the R&D centre in Meylan was established in 1983 in Inovallée, a technology cluster near Grenoble. It also includes two remote sites, located in Sophia Antipolis and La Turbie in the Alpes-Maritimes region. The key research areas at the heart of our innovation remain telecommunications and in particular the following areas: Home, Machine-to-Machine (M2M), Cloud computing, terminals and interfaces, health, and customer experience.
Located in the hinterland of Cannes and Antibes, the R&D centre in Sophia Antipolis was established in 1989 at the heart of the Sophia Antipolis technology cluster. The Orange Labs designs Business Livebox for the Group, explores the field of the Internet of things and takes part in the development of cloud computing as regards networks performance and monitoring, and business applications. The R&D centre in La Turbie was created in the mid-70’s and overlooks the Principality of Monaco. Its expertise has shifted and grown over time, from the 80’s satellites antennas and radio-relay networks, to the miniature antennas for access points (WiFi, DECT, M2M, etc.) and antennas of base stations (GSM, 3G, LTE, etc.).
