Welcome to hyperconnection

High speed fiber surfing

One of fiber’s main promises is that it will ease internet navigation.  According to a recent study by ARCEP (l’Autorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques et des Postes – Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Posts), it is up to 25% quicker to display a web page with fiber than with ADSL.

Sharing its contents or storing them on the Cloud has never been so easy! You can, for example, upload 30 Mb of photos on the Cloud in 5 seconds or share your holiday videos or your music with friends more speedily.

Thanks to the FTTH technology used by Orange, users have:

• 500 Mb/s minimum* download speed, to download files and browse the web.
• 200 Mb/s minimum upload speed, to share or send files.

^{*500 Mb/s minimum available with the Livebox Jet, Open Jet and Open Jet international offers.}

Advantages for gamers

Fiber is also an ideal solution for gamers: the latency time, or ping rate, is only a few milliseconds, against the tens of milliseconds with ADSL. On top of all these benefits is the improved speed and responsiveness of the game when both displaying and considering actions.
In a networked game, the players no longer experience a time lag with the rest of their team, thanks to the extremely short response time with fiber. This is particularly noticeable in e-sport tournaments, in which the best players worldwide compete either alone or in a team, in competitions that are retransmitted across the globe. Exchanges between the players are crucial to winning a game or multi-player tournament.

Orange is accelerating e-sport with Millenium

To add to the value of its fiber network, Orange has signed a sponsorship contract with Millenium, France’s top pro gaming organization. Fiber has been installed in the French competition building called Arena, in order to offer optimum gaming comfort to teams that the organization supports and optimum viewing comfort to remote tournament spectators.

A connection for all your screens

The high speed of fiber means it can offer High Definition on all screens.
This technology enables the use of all the screens in a household simultaneously
(television, tablets, smartphones, computers, game consoles) unsurpassed comfort.
It is possible to record a TV program while watching another broadcast. What was difficult with ADSL becomes a reality with fiber!

Viewing comfort will be augmented with the arrival of very high definition programs, such as 4K. The rise of this technology will accelerate bandwidth requirements over the coming years. To keep up with the surge in demand without impairing the user experience, the network must adapt.

Another advantage of fiber is that it enables a more stable connection: even if several users connect to the network simultaneously, bandwidth does not decrease and there is no noticeable slowdown.

Connected objects: responding to tomorrow’s problems today

Now, alongside 2.3 billion internet users around the world, we must take into account the objects that connect to the internet. On the network, they continuously transmit and receive data, which places a burden on bandwidth.
According to a recent study carried out by the Institut Montaigne, there will be 30 billion connected objects in circulation by 2020⁽³⁾. This is set to represent 10% of the total volume of data generated at global level.
The health sector is where we can expect to see the largest number of connected objects. When assigned to a patient, they make it possible, for instance, to make a remote diagnosis, or to better anticipate certain complications thanks to the collection of physiological data in real time. In order to guarantee the effectiveness of these measures, it is essential to count on the network’s reliability and to limit of internet traffic congestion.

In order to respond to the specific problem of connected objects and to prevent the digital networks from becoming saturated, Orange deploys the LoRa – or Long Range – network.  This national network is dedicated to connected objects and offers low speed connectivity with low energy consumption.

A real revolution in the world of work

Within businesses, network performance is key. Slowdowns or interruptions in service can slow down activity.

Fiber makes it possible to respond to three major problems:

• Facilitating traditional uses. To respond to the huge increase in the number of messages exchanged and the grown in the volume of attachments, messaging and the intranet require more bandwidth.
• Implementing new communication and collaboration services now or in the future, such as videoconferencing applications or sharing documents in real time, whilst ensuring fluidity of use for employees.
• Simplifying the management of information systems and applications by storing them on the Cloud. This is a choice that requires a reliable network to enable permanent access to corporate resources.

In addressing these issues, fiber will enable the development of new forms of work. Firstly, by enabling some professionals to rethink how they carry out their professional activity. This is the case for doctors who, thanks to fiber, will be able to offer telemedicine services, such as consultations and videoconferencing, or even be able to make examination results immediately available, such as X-rays, which have been carried out in another institution.

Fiber will also facilitate work from home. Thanks to the very high speeds of this technology, the user can access all their files and remote working tools (videoconference, professional applications, computer aided design etc.) with the same ease of use as in the company’s premises.
