Jordan Telecom Group offers Orange Livebox to broadband subscribers

January 28, 2008 – Jordan Telecom Group (JTG) has announced that it has started offering the Orange Livebox, a Wi-Fi router that enables the wireless delivery of services including IPTV and VoIP planned for later this year.

The new Livebox comes with the new double-play bundle of “Surf & Talk”, according to Mickael Ghossein, CEO of JTG.  “Competition in the telecommunications market is all about prices, but for Jordan Telecom, the real value lies in the state-of-the-art technology in terms of innovation, quality, simplicity and speed besides functionality.”

The Surf & Talk bundles provide an Internet connection as well as a VoIP line, enabling subscribers to make cheap calls nationally and internationally.  The bundles are currently available in 512Kbps and 1Mbps ADSL packages, and the Livebox does not require upfront deposits, purchase or rental fees.

“Simultaneous multi-user functionality is one of the key features of Orange Livebox,” stated Wassila Zitoune, Home Vice President for JTG.  Subscribers will also get a free USB Wi-Fi adaptor with the unit to add other computers to the home network.

JTG reportedly plans to launch broadband connections of over 4Mbps later this year, enabling the deployment of IPTV services in the country.
