Vision of the digital home
20 July 2004
A new product designed to coordinate a number of broadband services in the home is being launched this August.
In what is predicted to be the first of a number of similar packages, Wanadoo's "Livebox" will make the service provider the hub for domestic digital products such as Internet-based telephony and TV on demand.
It will enable subscribers to access their broadband connection anywhere within a range of 30 metres and it will allow a number of machines to be connected to a wireless home network.
Eric Abensur, Wanadoo chief executive, said: "The launch of Livebox marks the start of an exciting new phase in the UK internet market.
"As our broadband service continues to grow, Livebox's secure wireless solution brings users greater freedom to surf not only whenever they want, but from wherever they want, opening up a host of new uses."
It will cost £79.99 to connect to Livebox and users must also have Wanadoo Broadband, which costs from £17.99 per month.
Earlier this month the Digital Living Network Alliance, a consortium of 145 global electronics companies, announced its intention to create standards for interoperable consumer products.
