Orange has deployed 100,000 kilometers of fiber

The sporting event is to be a technological showcase for the incumbent, in terms of high speed fixed and mobile.

Forced to turn the page Bouygues Telecom, Orange now move on and prepares for Euro 2016, major event of football but also technology. As the incumbent operator, the leader in optical fiber and 4G, the group has no room for error.
One thing is certain, Orange has every chance of his side to demonstrate its expertise and make this competition which takes place in France a technology showcase for high speed fixed and mobile.

4 years of work
No less than four years of work were needed to prepare the event. The data provide dizzy: 100. 000 kilometers of optical fiber have been deployed in stages, twice around the Earth to ensure optimal transmission of data, especially for the hundreds of media present. 220 TV channels will be based on the Orange network to transmit the matches. In terms of flows, Orange promises more than 2 terabits per second for ten stages, never seen.
It also has 680 Wi-Fi hotspots to more than 110,000 concurrent connections. 4G has not been forgotten with a densification of antennas: Some stadiums will count 132, allowing viewers to surf without a hitch.
"An event like this is a technical feat," said Stéphane Richard, CEO of the operator. It is also a strategic moment in terms of image for Orange and indirectly to its business.
