Orange launches “Fibre Pro” for professionals, a 100% fiber service offering symmetrical data speeds of 100 Mbps
Paris, December 12, 2011
Orange has launched its “Fibre Pro” offer, which enables professionals, at an attractive price, to benefit from the quality and power of a 100%, end-to-end fiber-optic network that offers symmetrical data speeds of 100 Mbps. Compared to traditional ADSL broadband, this solution enables data speeds that are five times faster for downloading data and over 100 times faster for uploading data. Symmetric, very high-speed broadband enables users to:
download – benefit from optimal conditions for accessing the Internet, using e-mail services and downloading files at high speed;
upload - easily transfer large files or participate in videoconferences with high image quality. The user can also rapidly synchronise data with remote servers and benefit from the full power of cloud computing services, such as Orange’s “cloud pro” offers.
By providing super-fast transfer speeds, the “Fibre Pro” offer is contributing to the development of new services that will enable professionals in sectors such as digital design, editing or e-commerce to make the most their own time and to build closer ties with their customers and partners.
The “Fibre Pro” offer includes fixed-line telephony (including functions such as multiple-call), Internet and television, as well as a range of services designed to meet the needs of professionals such as a personalized URL, a fixed IP address, the “e-mail for professionals” service and the digital fax. Customers also benefit from technical assistance for setting-up the network in their offices as well as dedicated customer support. The offer is available at competitive prices from 69 euros per month (1) and includes communications to fixed-line telephones and mobiles both in France and abroad.
As this service is designed for small businesses and professionals, the “Fibre Pro” offer uses the FTTH (2) fiber-optic network that Orange is currently rolling-out across France. The Group’s objective is bring fiber-optic networks to 3,600 French municipalities (communes) across 220 agglomerations by 2015, covering all large and medium-sized towns in France.
Orange Business Services also offers the “Fibre Entreprise” range. These offers, which are based on an FTTO (Fiber to the Office) network, provide additional guarantees in terms of data-transfer speed and quality of service. Over 70% of businesses in France, spread across 4,000 communes, can already benefit from these offers.
1/ With a 12-month commitment. For more details (in French), go to www.orangepro.fr
2/ Fiber To The Home: the fiber network is brought all the way to a customer’s home or the professional’s office.
