ZTE and Orange Morocco Launch Livebox 7, World’s First prplOS 4.0-Based Smart Home Gateway
ZTE Corporation and Orange Morocco have introduced Livebox 7, a new-generation smart home terminal designed to enhance connected home experiences. The device is the world’s first commercial optical network terminal (ONT) built on the prplOS 4.0 open-source standard, marking a step forward in open and flexible home broadband platforms.
Developed and manufactured by ZTE, Livebox 7 is designed to support a broader ecosystem of third-party services while delivering faster and more reliable connectivity for households. By adopting the prplOS 4.0 platform, the device enables operators and developers to integrate multiple services and applications, creating a more open smart-home environment.
The device combines high-performance hardware with modern connectivity features. It includes tri-band Wi-Fi 7, ten smart antennas, and 1 GB of memory, allowing users to enjoy seamless, whole-home connectivity across multiple devices. Security is also a key focus, with enterprise-grade protection features such as a built-in VPN and advanced parental controls designed to help families manage internet access and safeguard their privacy.
Livebox 7 also incorporates energy-efficient design principles to support more sustainable digital infrastructure. Its aesthetic design draws inspiration from traditional Moroccan Zellige tile patterns, blending regional cultural elements with modern technology.
The launch highlights the growing focus on AI-enabled smart homes and next-generation broadband services, as telecom operators seek to deliver more intelligent, secure, and integrated digital experiences to consumers. ZTE noted that it continues to work closely with global operator partners to advance next-generation home connectivity, with its home terminal shipments exceeding 100 million units for two consecutive years.
With Livebox 7, ZTE and Orange Morocco aim to accelerate the development of open, high-performance smart-home ecosystems while enabling users to access faster, more secure, and more flexible broadband services.
