Orange joins quantum-safe eSIM programme enabling single-SKU device manufacturing

Orange has joined the quantum-safe In-Factory Profile Provisioning (IFPP) program, launched by Acceleronix and IDEMIA Secure Transactions at MWC Barcelona in February. The program lets device makers build one product for every market and connect it to the Orange network before it leaves the factory. Manufacturers load the operator profile onto the eSIM at the end of the production line, instead of fixing connectivity at the design stage. That means fewer SKUs, less regional stock and faster entry into new markets. The program follows the GSMA SGP.41 framework and runs on existing eSIM IoT infrastructure. Trial kits are available to device makers. Acceleronix and IDEMIA Secure Transactions will demonstrate the solution at electronica 2026 in Munich, from November 10 to 13.

Orange launches "Reconnexion Flash", using SoftAtHome's Always'ON to keep homes online in fibre outages

SoftAtHome's Always'ON software powers Orange's new "Reconnexion Flash" service in France, the company announced on October 13, 2026. When a fiber line fails, the Livebox automatically routes the home's connection through the customer's smartphone hotspot. No app, VPN, or extra hardware is needed. Laptops, tablets, smart TVs, and other devices stay online over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and the Livebox switches back to fiber once service returns. Orange activated the service remotely for customers with the Livebox 7 Wi-Fi 7 and Livebox S. Landline phone and multicast TV channels resume only when fiber is restored. "An outage is a sensitive moment when a broadband customer judges their operator," said Arnaud Bellivier de Prin, chief executive officer of SoftAtHome.
