SoftAtHome Enhances Orange's New Reconnexion Flash Service for Home Connectivity

In an age where connectivity is crucial, any disruption in internet access can lead to significant inconvenience for households. Recognizing the need for seamless online availability, SoftAtHome has stepped up to enhance Orange's latest initiative: the Reconnexion Flash service. Powered by SoftAtHome's innovative Always'ON solution, this new offering ensures that homes in France remain online even during fiber outages.

With the ever-increasing reliance on internet services, interruptions can come from various sources, including routine maintenance or unexpected fiber failures. Traditionally, users would need dedicated backup hardware, like 4G routers or mobile dongles, to mitigate these outages. However, with Always'ON, this cumbersome workaround has been eliminated.

Once a disruption is detected, the Livebox—a router from Orange—switches its connection to the customer's smartphone, maintaining internet access for all connected devices without requiring any advanced configuration or external hardware. Devices like laptops, smart TVs, and tablets continue to operate seamlessly over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, empowering users to maintain their digital lives uninterrupted.

This solution is remarkably user-friendly. Orange has streamlined the process, eliminating the need for mobile applications or complex VPN setups. The setup is effortless; upon detection of a fiber cut, the Livebox displays a QR code for the customer to scan, leading them to a brief online tutorial. This guide walks users through activating their smartphone’s hotspot and entering the Livebox-provided password—ensuring an intuitive user experience.

Advantages of Using Always'ON:
  • - Instant Connectivity: Once set up, if a fiber outage occurs, the Livebox instantly connects to the smartphone's hotspot without requiring the user to navigate through network settings.
  • - Effortless Transition: When fiber services are restored, the Livebox seamlessly redirects to the fixed line, disconnecting the mobile backup automatically.
  • - Continuous Service: Users can continue activities such as video streaming, gaming, and browsing without interruption.

Laurence Thouveny, Executive Vice President of Customer Experience at Orange, states, "With Reconnexion Flash, we simplify our customer experience at critical moments by providing a swift, autonomous solution to maintain Internet connectivity during outages. This innovative technology exemplifies Orange's commitment to strengthening our network resilience while enhancing customer experience."

The integration of Always'ON into Orange's Reconnexion Flash not only provides customers with an immediate solution during outages but also solidifies the operator's control over the user experience. Arnaud Bellivier de Prin, CEO of SoftAtHome, emphasizes that 'broadband interruptions can significantly influence a customer's perception of their operator. With Always'ON, homes remain connected through their smartphones, allowing continuity even during disruptions.'

SoftAtHome continues to set itself apart as an independent software provider with a broad portfolio of essential solutions aimed at enhancing connectivity and user experience. Their technology is deployed in over 30 million homes and serves as a significant asset to telecom operators aiming to promote seamless connectivity.

As the digital landscape evolves, maintaining a stable online presence grows ever more important. With solutions like Reconnexion Flash, powered by Always'ON, SoftAtHome and Orange are ensuring that users can work, play, and connect without missing a beat—no matter the circumstances. This advancement not only reflects a commitment to technological innovation but also a proactive approach to customer satisfaction and network reliability.
