In World Premiere, Orange Jordan to Deploy prpl-based Broadband Solution with SoftAtHome
PARIS and AMMAN, Jordan, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SoftAtHome and Orange Jordan announced the imminent deployment of the world's first fully prpl-based broadband solution with a home gateway and Wi-Fi repeater powered by prplWare and complementary SoftAtHome products.
The new home gateway and Wi-Fi repeater are powered by prplWare, which includes the prplOS and prplMesh.
prpl extends the Orange device's shelf life and brings operators greater independence from hardware constraints to deliver new and innovative services. Through this project SoftAtHome enabled five critical advantages promoted by the prpl Foundation including higher velocity by de-complexifying Gateway stack integration onto multiple platforms, a focus on service-driven innovation, enabling proprietary differentiation from a 3rd-party services ecosystem, API harmonization through collaboration & convergence to help scale up businesses, open source to improve testing and avoid duplication and wasted efforts, and cultivating a community.
Orange Jordan's new gateway offers fiber connectivity and delivers the advantages of Wi-Fi6E. For this project, prplWare was extended with several critical operator features such as VoIP, Wi-Fi repeater, API migration all the while keeping compatibility with the existing infrastructure, etc.
prplMesh already brings Wi-Fi management capabilities and hardware abstraction. SoftAtHome added smart Wi-Fi algorithms, such as Wi-Fi repeater management, packet prioritization, intelligent channel selection, remote device management, and enhanced security features with the Wifi'ON Product running on top of prplWare.
Orange Jordan commented on this agreement saying: "At the outset of this project, we were looking for a software solution that leveraged our installed base of devices while simultaneously preparing an exciting future of services for our broadband subscribers. SoftAtHome exceeded our expectations with this prpl-based advanced solution and their extensive expertise."
Orange Group said, "Orange Jordan is the first within the Orange Group to deploy a prpl-based home gateway solution, which is the result of Orange Group's investment in prpl open-source solutions. The whole operator community will benefit from access to new home gateway-based services."
Arnaud Bellivier de Prin, CEO at SoftAtHome, said, "I am proud that our teams have delivered the world's first prpl-based solution deployed simultaneously on the home gateway and Wi-Fi repeaters and grateful to Orange Jordan for their continued trust in SoftAtHome and for paving the prpl way for our club of operators".
