Orange launched the Livebox 6, the first gateway on the French market compatible with the new Wi-Fi 6E standard. It brings users a download speed up to 2Gbit/s, 3 times higher than Wi-Fi 5. Its vertical design has been thought to optimize the Wi-Fi coverage. It is inspired by the shapes and materials of interior furniture and has a touch screen to access essential information and functions. The design has also taken into account environmental impacts: it is easily repairable, made of 100% recycled and recyclable plastic shell, and has a configurable standby mode to reduce energy consumption.
