” Our mission is to bring the Internet as far as possible. “ It is not the assertion that Olivier Roussat (photo above), director general of Bouygues Telecom, has announced a new offer “fixed” : the 4G box. A paradox in the form of the first in France to offer the general public. This box looks like a pot of pencils will bring the Internet at high, or very-high-speed Internet to homes based on the LTE network of the operator. It welcomes cover 85% of the population today and is still on the 99% by the end of 2018.
actually, the 4G box, provided by Huawei, is a modem-router, 4G mono carrier (not 4G+) powered by the electrical grid and able to accommodate up to 32 WiFi terminals. Vocation is fixed, it will be attached to the mobile antenna 4G, which covers the home. It does not intend to compete with the pebble nomad which allows you to connect to 4G wherever the network operator is available. Impossible to win for the holidays or in the secondary residence, so. The new box comes with a subscription to 29.99 euros monthly (plus 3 euros rental of the box) after a month free trial. the ” If the client is not satisfied, it returns without fees and expenses “, provides the chief executive officer. The offer is only available for homes located by default in less densely populated areas. The operator informs that 7 million households are now eligible for the offer. Ten million as early as next march.
A thirty-Mbit/s
If, contrary to mobile classic, no limit of data is imposed, the video stream from YouTube, Netflix, and other platform-replay will be tailored for the small screens of mobile devices such as the smartphone and tablet. the ” Two megabits is sufficient for the video, justifies Olivier Roussat, the flows will be limited to avoid saturating the network and to ensure the quality of services in the area. “ However, after three months of testing on an unspecified number of homes being piloted in different regions, the operator declares that he does not see saturation. the ” We will notify in good time “, suggests Richard Viel, deputy chief executive officer for which the saturation would be an unexpected success.
P2P, gaming, downloading… no protocol is blocked. But the function is limited only to the service of the Internet access (1P). No telephone, nor television offering such as part of a triple play offer. It will therefore be necessary to go through web-based video platform, or of applications of Voice over Wifi (VoWifi) for the benefit of the other two ” P “. Theoretically, the 4G box can offer a downstream rate peak of 115 Mbit/s bandwidth that should, in use, is closer to 30 Mbit/s. A test near a box we posted an average rate of 29 Mbit/s in reception and close to 3 Mbit/s transmit. the ” When you provides 30 Mbit/s in underserved areas, it changes the life of people, is convinced Olivier Roussat. in We need to allow everyone to use the network in normal conditions what are the uses of the Internet today. “ in Short, the initiative is part of the commitment to accelerate the coverage of high speed broadband in the country.
An alternative in the meantime the fibre
This is not a coincidence that Bouygues Telecom has made his announcement to Neuville-de-Poitou. For this common 5 400 souls, the high-speed is essential in order to maintain its attractiveness for inhabitants and those who wish to settle in the department of the Vienne. Located fifteen kilometres from Poitiers (Futuroscope, and the Technopole adjoining home to some 12 000 jobs), 2h30 from Paris by train, 1h30 from la Rochelle by car, Neuville maintains two areas of commercial and industrial activities historical. the ” We launched the financing plan to deploy 28 000 optic lines in 2019 in the urban community but we don’t have the time to wait for the fibre “, explains Severine Saint Pé, mayor of the town. Thirty councils across the department are already equipped with the 4G box. According to the woman, 20, 000 households remote from the dispatchers telephone are today likely to be interested in the high-speed Internet 4G box without ADSL satisfactory. What the pull out of a fixed operator with competitor, Orange in the first place. Bouygues Telecom is it to trigger a new war for the conquest of subscribers fixed ?
