Vantiva - Experts & Thought Leaders

Vantiva, a global technology pioneer enabling Network Service Providers to connect consumers worldwide, announced it has been selected by longtime partner e& UAE, the telecom arm of e& in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to deploy a new 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) gateway in the country. Featuring the region's first eSIM installed on a customer premises equipment, the gateway allows for a simplified and OPEX-saving self-installation, letting the end-user activate the solution without a technician's visit and physical SIM card. Wi-Fi 6 technology "Vantiva has proven to be an ideal collaborator in developing a new gateway that could help us address multiple market challenges to keep up with new and emerging customer needs," said Saleh Ahmed, Senior Vice President, e& UAE Customer Operations. "We have supercharged this gateway with not only the state-of-the-art Wi-Fi 6 technology available but also with the most powerful 5G transmitter that extends our service area to more households and businesses. The addition of the eSIM will also allow our end-users to have a plug-and-play installation process and get online immediately." Vantiva's Indoor5G™ technology The gateway contains an Indoor5G™ self-optimising algorithm and high-gain antenna technology Based on Vantiva's Cobra FWA platform and designed for residential and business users, the gateway incorporates an innovative Indoor5G™ self-optimising algorithm and high-gain antenna technology. This enables each device to fine-tune its internal antenna system autonomously, aligning it with e& UAE's towers for optimal 3.5 GHz reception.  Combined with increased transmission power (PC1.5 29 dBm), Vantiva's Indoor5G™ technology significantly improves connectivity and addresses indoor reception performance challenges by enabling e& UAE to address a 40% larger area around their base stations and connect more homes while reducing the cost of ownership for the FWA service. Wireless connectivity experience "e& UAE continues to transform the broadband experience for its customers, and we have appreciated the opportunity to once again collaborate and develop a 5G FWA gateway for their markets," stated Mercedes Pastor, Senior Vice President of the Customer Unit, Eurasia at Vantiva. "We have always been committed to innovation, and that commitment shines through with this gateway that sets a new standard for performance and accessibility. With decades of wireless connectivity experience and investment in software, we have extended the amazing e& UAE broadband experience to their 5G FWA subscribers by providing a common application framework." Additional features Designed with the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology, this device can be supplemented with Wi-Fi nodes or mesh extenders running EasyMesh R2 software. It also incorporates Homeware™, Vantiva's highly modular and application-oriented software stack, based on OpenWrt standards and deployed with over 10 million gateways around the world. Leveraging Vantiva's Homeware™ APIs and Vantiva's NaviGate Companion™ backend, e& will integrate a mobile app to help with the Wi-Fi set-up. This app will let end-users manage their home gateways and extenders using their iOS or Android mobile phones or tablets.

IDEMIA Secure Transactions is proud to announce this strategic collaboration with Vantiva to expedite the deployment of 5G services for customers and businesses worldwide. Formerly known as Technicolor, Vantiva, is a pioneer in delivering innovative, comprehensive products for the connected home market — such as broadband gateways and set-top boxes — to the world’s foremost Network Service Providers. This collaboration will see IDEMIA Secure Transactions provide Vantiva with the latest generation of eSIM (eUICC) technology, enhancing the capabilities of Vantiva’s 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) portfolio. Network service providers The two companies aim to deliver robust 5G solutions that offer seamless integration with existing infrastructure, and for the end-user, a simple connectivity activation thanks to IDEMIA Secure Transactions eSIM with embedded native connectivity. This initiative will make it easier for network service providers to deploy FWA services. It will remove the need for shipping a pre-provisioned SIM card or a QR code for service activation of Vantiva’s Consumer Premises Equipment (CPE) devices onto the network while improving the connected home experience. High-speed broadband services End-users in urban, suburban, and rural areas will access to high-speed broadband services The deployment of Vantiva’s 5G FWA solutions, embedding IST’s eSIM technology, will transform the broadband landscape. FWA is increasingly recognized as a permanent solution for delivering full internet access to homes and businesses, especially in regions where fiber or cable rollout is limited. End-users in urban, suburban, and rural areas will access to high-speed broadband services without the need for additional infrastructure, since cellular networks are being rolled out largely on all continents to support mobile services. For instance, families in rural areas with limited fiber or cable options will enjoy high-speed internet and TV services through Vantiva’s 5G-enabled residential gateways and associated set-top box, enhancing their ability to stream content, work from home, and participate in online learning. Cutting-edge eSIM technologies “We are proud to present this collaboration with Vantiva to further extend the availability of our cutting-edge eSIM technologies. The combination of IDEMIA Secure Transactions’ and Vantiva’s expertise will enable more people and businesses to be securely connected to the broadband Internet, opening up ever more opportunities,” said Philippe DE OLIVEIRA, SVP Automotive & IoT at IDEMIA Secure Transactions “Collaborating with IDEMIA Secure Transactions enhances our state-of-the-art 5G Fixed Wireless Access CPE portfolio. Our NSP customers will benefit from a simplified subscriber enrollment process, improved cost efficiency, and future-proof technology that meets the evolving demands of the digital age,” said Thibaud LEPAGE, FWA CPE Product Line Director at Vantiva.
