PRESS RELEASE

Technicolor introduces next generation gateway products with multiple WAN support


Based on the new generation of chipset, the new gateways are supporting Open Software, Services and Application


Paris, October 27, 2010 – Technicolor (Euronext Paris : TCH ; NYSE : TCH) today announced that it is launching its next generation home gateway products. In the advanced functionality is the ability to access more than one WAN – including ADSL, ethernet WAN over fibre and 3G wireless services – with the intelligent gateway sensing and switching to the most appropriate broadband connection. This makes them ideally suited for deployment into mixed access scenario’s allowing users to connect any access network automatically.


All three new gateways – the TG587nv3, the TG784nv3 and the TG797nv3 – are based on the new 6362 chipset. This puts considerable processing power into the gateway, which enables it to provide multiple digital home services, from DLNA media sharing and remote back-up to home automation or smart metering. The new gateways also rely on extensive remote management via TR-691. The platforms are capable of routing speeds surpassing 400Mbps which allows surpassing the current cable offerings. All three also embody the highest environmental standards, including compliance with the EU code of conduct version 3, which sets strict limits on power consumption.


“Telcos are in a war for speed, with fibre being rolled out quickly to tackle the challenge from DOCSIS 3.0 over cable,” said Georges Laplanche, Senior Vice President, Connect Division at Technicolor. “They need gateway products which are simple to deploy, readily upgraded – and ours even select their own WAN inputs – and offer practical, useful and tailored functionality which will attract new subscribers and minimise churn. Technicolor has invested in developing a new chipset and built a platform upon it, which allows us to offer a range of alternatives which meet the real needs of telcos, today and into the future.”


The TG587nv3 is a powerful platform for demanding services, including IPTV. It contains two Gigabit Ethernet ports (both on LAN and WAN) allowing customers to offer a more than 100Mbps offer end to end. To maintain maximum performance it incorporates embedded mechanisms, including traffic prioritisation and connection reservation, to prevent peer-to-peer applications blocking other traffic. It incorporates 802.11n wireless capabilities as well as support for ADSL, gigabit ethernet WAN over fibre and 3G (using a USB dongle), with Technicolor’s AutoWAN Sensing technology to automatically configure the gateway to the right access network. The platform contains 2 USB Host interfaces which allow seamless connection of a 3G dongle and a hard disk for media sharing.


The TG784nv3 shares much functionality with the TG587nv3, making it a powerful platform for demanding triple play routed services. It also incorporates multi-line telephony which is compatible with IMS cores and soft switches. Two FXS ports are provided for phone and fax or two independent phone lines, and with an available option it can integrate IP phones to turn the gateway into a home PBX.


The TG797nv3 is designed to provide comprehensive home connectivity over voice (multi-line DECT) and broadband data. Built into the gateway are a number of powerful services, including printer sharing, UPnP2, webcam control and display for security, remote file access, peer to peer content sharing, and secured storage on the gateway to provide a central PVR. As well as the wireless hub it also provides four auto-sensing ethernet ports and two USB 2.0 master ports.



1 TR-069 (short for Technical Report 069) is a technical specification entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices.

2 Universal Plug and Play : set of networking protocols that permits networked devices.

Technicolor Launches Ultra BroadBand Business Gateways


Advanced features in conjunction with a fully featured business VoIP SIP phone


Paris (France), October 27, 2010 – Technicolor (Euronext Paris : TCH ; NYSE : TCH) today announced it has launched two new business gateway products, designed to bring high-end performance to the small office business market at a very attractive price point. These gateways are partnered by the TB30 professional IP phone which can be used as a standalone VoIP phone connected to the integrated MicroPABX in the business gateway, as the foundation of an office telephone network, or in conjunction with any popular VoIP PABX.

This one-box solution (also featuring full IPSec and VPN client and server functionality and including corporate firewall) meets the practical requirements of the enterprise user, including simple self-installation and management (with support for automatic updates by the network operator).


The TG672 gateway is identical, with the addition of multi-line DECT telephony and a gigabit LAN port for connection with a corporate network. Both gateways are designed to be forward compatible, including support for IPv6. They meet the latest version of the EU code of conduct on environmental performance, with low power consumption and intelligent switching of functionality.


The TB30 professional IP phone is also designed to deliver excellent performance at a cost-effective price, making feature-rich VoIP services more accessible for both large and small enterprises. Full duplex HD sound delivers outstanding acoustic performance, and SIP compatibility ensures that the TB30 is fully interoperable with modern PABXs, and has been proven with more than 60 switches from all the leading manufacturers.

PRESS RELEASE

Technicolor’s Cirpack Session Border Controller implemented at Multiple Telcos in Europe and Africa

 

6 million users already connected by this solution



Paris (France), 26 October 2010Technicolor (Euronext Paris : TCH ; NYSE : TCH) today announced that it has implemented its Cirpack SBC (Session Border Controller) solution at 14 telcos up to now. This figure demonstrates the ease of integration of the Cirpack SBC into existing telco infrastructures, as well as the performance of its inherent security mechanisms. Depending on the operator’s needs, Cirpack SBC can be proposed as a network element or packaged with the Cirpack SoftSwitch.


The Cirpack SBC solution can be connected to multiple platforms, including core IMS and value-added application servers. It provides access control and border switching on the same standalone platform. PBX connections can be built through it for subscription-based services (Class-5) or for trunking (Class-4).


The addition of the SBC functionality to the Cirpack Softswitch porfolio, a highly regarded VoIP telephony platform in use with more than 100 operators in 35 countries, provides native VoIP peering, allowing highly secure integration between the local switch and IP trunking networks. This minimises the prospect of intrusions and denial of service attacks and provides topology hiding, ensuring secured call control.


“Voice over IP is clearly the way ahead for all telcos, but it depends on being able to hand traffic from one switch to another, either within the telco or from one to another,” said Romain Waller, VoIP & IPTV General Manager, Connect division at Technicolor. “Cirpack SBC is a platform which meets all the practical requirements like the exchange of billing information with excellent security protection, in a high availability, high density format. The key figure of 14 major telcos and 550 000 sessions realized is a clear indication of the strength of our solution.”


Cirpack SBC is available in a number of different packages to meet the specific needs of each operator. This includes a standalone interconnect device Cirpack Access-SBC, Cirpack Border Switch, Cirpack Integrated Signalling SBC (with access and border signalling elements on the same hardware) and Cirpack Integrated Signalling and Media SBC (with access and border signalling and media elements on the same hardware).

Its core business consists of providing voice and data services to the enterprise market, and Cirpack’s ability to add centrex services to class 4 and class 5 telephony, with session border control for interworking with other VoIP carriers, is a significant advantage to Intred.


Telematic Services is the most important ISP in the adjoining Piemonte region around Torino. Again, the ability to deliver class 5 as well as class 4 services was a critical factor in selecting Technicolor Cirpack. Implementation of the new switch is already underway at Telematic Services.


“These orders are a huge confirmation of the successful technical direction of Cirpack,” said Romain Waller, VoIP & IPTV General Manager, Connect division at Technicolor. “Our Cirpack Local Exchange Node is a very high density switch, supporting the functionality required for both residential and enterprise users, and with secure border control for connection to national networks and other VoIP services. That makes it ideal for telcos and ISPs, such as BKCom, Intred and Telematic Services, who are keen to rapidly grow their customer base, and we are delighted to be working with them.”

PRESS RELEASE

Technicolor, the first company to deliver 100 million gateways worldwide


This milestone illustrates decade-long leadership in broadband


Paris (France), October 25, 2010 – Technicolor (Euronext Paris : TCH ; NYSE : TCH)  today announced- it has achieved the major milestone of 100 million gateways delivered worldwide, out of 500 million broadband connections deployed in households and businesses globally1. Technicolor has maintained #1 worldwide position for the last 10 years, and has delivered over 10 million gateways a year since 2005.


The 25 million mark was passed in December 2004, and it only took two years to double, reaching the 50 million threshold in January 2007. It has subsequently taken three years to double it again.


“Passing the 100 million mark demonstrates our continuous dedication to innovation and excellence in the CPE market,” said Vince Pizzica, Head of Digital Delivery, Technicolor. We were a pioneer in both DSL and cable more than ten years ago, and since then we have always been early to market with emerging technologies. This capability to innovate enabled us to win the confidence of major network services providers through the world, because they know that we are perfectly able to anticipate their needs”.


As a member of the Broadband Forum, Technicolor has significantly contributed to the standardisation in DSL and more specifically to reduce the total cost of deployment and ownership of broadband solutions by enhancing CPE remote management capabilities and improving the access products’ life cycle.


Since its very first DSL and cable modems, Technicolor has pioneered the delivery of innovation for the benefit of end-users: first wireless ADSL router in 2001, first UPnP2 certified router in 2002, first self-installation wireless and business solutions in 2003, DLNA certification3 in 2008, first supplier to deliver EU’s energy management compliant products (Code of conduct version 3).


The portfolio has enriched over time with for example the introduction of triple play services gateways in 2004, media center capabilities in 2008 and femto in 2009. Technicolor is now leveraging its strong video skillset to build the next generation media gateways, combining its unparalleled expertise in broadband access and video decoders.


Technicolor also announced a few months ago the equivalent milestone of 100 million units delivered in its set-top boxes business, which further illustrates its worldwide leading position in CPE market.

Technicolor’s mp3HD Format Now Available in Topspin’s Music Catalog


Topspin becomes the first digital music provider to offer mp3HD downloads



Paris (France), October 7, 2010 – Technicolor (Euronext Paris : FR0010918292 ; NYSE : TCH) today announced that it signed a contract with Topspin, a leading music platform, for the distribution of their music catalog in mp3HD format.


Topspin (www.topspinmedia.com) is a technology-focused direct-to-fan marketing, management and distribution platform which helps artists manage their catalogs, connect with fans, and generate demand for music. Thousands of artists, managers and labels have already chosen the Topspin platform, including the Beastie Boys, David Byrne, Paul McCartney, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Arcade Fire, Eminem, Linkin Park, Trey Songz, Peter Gabriel, Carly Simon and Metric.


“When given a choice, nearly 40% of Topspin consumers choose a high definition audio format,” said Ian Rogers, CEO of Topspin. “We are pleased to be the first retailer to offer mp3HD to consumers. mp3HD quality will bring an enhanced and premium audio experience to music fans who expect the best when they purchase direct from their favorite artists.”


“This agreement with Topspin is very important for the proliferation of the consumer-friendly mp3HD format, said Rocky Caldwell, Vice President, mp3 and digital video IP licensing for Technicolor. “Music lovers can now enjoy lossless audio quality without giving up the ubiquity and ease-of-use of the mp3 format”.


Fans will now be able to purchase tracks in mp3HD quality directly from the Tospin-affiliated artists’ website and play them back using the Winamp plug-in available at www.winamp.com. Mac owners can use the Fraunhofer mp3HD player available at www.all4mp3.com  


The mp3HD format, which was co-developed by the same Technicolor and Fraunhofer IIS teams that invented mp3, offers lossless audio compression as well as compatibility with the widely-used mp3 standard. mp3HD enables content creators, the music industry and consumers to benefit from the ultimate audio quality experience with the same ease of use as the mp3 format.
