Optimised home Wi-Fi services is a prerequisite for operators (ISPs) to deliver an outstanding digital home experience – and who better to know what operators need than a digital home platform provider owned by the operators themselves? We’re delighted to welcome SoftAtHome – a company based in Paris, France and owned jointly by Orange, Swisscom, & Etisalat – as our new partner.

We will have valuable information to share with the Wi-Fi NOW community during the year,” says Lionel Gremeau, Product & Marketing Director at SoftAtHome.
