    Confirming its leadership in communication terminals with a high-value add with this
new innovative solution, Sagemcom provides a full range of residential gateways
integrating both VDSL2 Vectoring/Bonding and G.fast solutions enabling internet service
providers to deliver up to 1GBPS on the copper network.

    Ahmed Selmani, Deputy CEO of Sagemcom Broadband explains: "Leveraging on more than 12
years' experience in the broadband industry, we are proud to today place in the market the
first G.fast residential gateway allowing FTTdp deployment. Complementing our VDSL2
Vectoring range, this will allow our customers to benefit from powerful solutions and thus
deliver ultra-high speed to their subscribers."

    Sagemcom and Alcatel-Lucent have been working together to ensure interoperability
between customer premises equipment and networking equipment for VDSL2 vectoring. The
companies will continue this collaboration for the introduction of G.fast technology.

    Geert Heyninck, General Manager of Alcatel-Lucent's Fixed Networks Broadband Access,
commented: "G.fast is set to have a major impact on the industry, enabling operators to
significantly increase the broadband speeds they provide their customers. Alcatel-Lucent
is at the forefront of this new technology and supporting interoperability with ecosystem
players like Sagemcom is important to ensure an end to end G.fast solution is available to
operators as quickly and widely as possible."
