Orange Selects DSP Group’s ULE Technology to Power New Connected Home Service
February 26 2019 - 1:00AM
DSP Group®, Inc. (NASDAQ: DSPG), a leading global provider of
wireless chipset solutions for converged communications, today
announced that Orange has chosen its ULE solutions for its future
smart home service in France. This announcement comes as Orange
announces its membership in the ULE Alliance at the annual DECT
Forum and ULE Alliance meeting in Nuremberg, Germany.
“We are convinced that the ULE protocol is the
best available technology that will greatly facilitate the adoption
of connected home usages among our customers. Orange is now joining
Deutsche Telekom within the ULE Alliance and will work alongside
the other members to build a fully-fledged industrial ecosystem.
Over 5 million customers of Orange and Deutsche Telekom are already
equipped with ULE-compatible routers and will be able to connect to
a wider range of connected objects specially designed for use in
the home,” says Sylvaine Aublanc, Smart Home Marketing Director at
Orange.
This Spring, Orange is poised to offer its
next-generation smart home products and services in France, based
on DSP Group’s ULE chips. Orange’s decision to change wireless
communications protocol to the DECT-based ULE lends additional
support for the standard’s quality of service, reliability, and
security. The first wave of the launch includes nearly three
million homes already equipped with the latest Livebox router,
allowing customers to enable the new service free of charge,
without the need for additional or new equipment. The use of the
ULE protocol provides several additional benefits including low
power consumption, extended indoor coverage and a particularly
simple installation procedure.
“The selection of Orange in the ULE technology
is a milestone event for DSP Group paving the road for a major
expansion in ULE’s eco-system and the positioning of ULE as a
leading and mainstream IoT technology. Leading service providers
are leveraging ULE’s unmatched benefits which include superb range,
interference free spectrum and natural and reliable voice and audio
support,” said Ofer Elyakim, CEO of DSP Group. “We are confident
that following Deutsche Telekom and Orange, more service providers
will adopt ULE as technology of choice for their next generation
smart home offerings.”
Orange announced that a range of ULE-compatible
connected objects will be marketed under the Orange name for
customers at launch, including a motion sensor, smart plug, smart
light bulb and a door/window-opening sensor. All of the devices and
the Livebox gateway contain DSP Group’s ULE chipset solutions,
ensuring reliable service and secure communication.
DSP Group will be at the Mobile World Congress
this week in Barcelona and available for briefings before, during
or after the show (in person or via phone). The system will be
exhibited in DSP Group’s private meeting room.
