Ubee, Altice Labs and SFR engineering teams have collaborated to develop and deliver a range of products offering WiFi 6 support for fiber, xDSL and DOCSIS technologies in France. Altice will also offer these products in Portugal, USA and the Dominican Republic in the near future.

WiFi 6, also referred to as 802.11ax, is the next generation standard in WiFi technology and delivers higher throughput, extended coverage, and improved power efficiency. These benefits provide a faster and smoother connected experience for subscribers running bandwidth-intensive applications on multiple wireless clients.

“Ubee has partnered closely with all Altice engineering teams to reach its goal of delivering WiFi 6 into the complete Altice product line up,” said Gilles Guittard, President of Ubee Europe, Middle East and Asia Markets. “The launch of WiFi 6 with GPON, DOCSIS and xDSL is an important milestone that will benefit all end-users on the SFR networks. More than speed, it will also provide better performance (availability, latency, etc.) at home for all users. It is the fruit of more than 10 years of partnership with Altice and a 2-year project from proof of concept to commercial launch.”

Ubee was one of the first five cable modem vendors to achieve CableLabs® DOCSIS® 3.1 certification.
