SoftAtHome operates as an independent software provider focused on enhancing the connected home experience for end-users of telecommunications operators. Established in 2008 as a joint venture by Orange, Thomson, and Sagem Communications, the company was founded to deliver convergent applications for the digital home. Its business model centers on providing software solutions to network service providers, including telcos, broadcasters, and network operators, who in turn deploy these services to their residential customers. Revenue is generated through these operator partnerships, with new streams emerging from the deployment of app stores on home gateways.
Serving a global market, SoftAtHome’s products are deployed in over 30 million home networks. The company's client roster includes major international operators like Orange, Swisscom, and Etisalat, fostered through a collaborative “Club of Operators” model where customers share deployment experiences. The firm's strategy is to transform customer premises equipment (CPE) such as home gateways, Wi-Fi repeaters, and set-top boxes into comprehensive service platforms. This is achieved through a suite of seven core software products: Connect'ON (broadband), Wifi'ON (smart Wi-Fi), Secure'ON (security), Things'ON (smart home/IoT), Watch'ON (video), Eyes'ON (analytics and QoE monitoring), and Orchestr'ON (a gateway app store environment). These solutions leverage a hybrid architecture of cloud-based components and embedded software, often built on open standards like prpl.
In October 2024, Arnaud Bellivier de Prin was appointed CEO, succeeding David Viret-Lange. Bellivier de Prin previously served as Transformation Program Director at Orange Business, bringing extensive experience in cloud, security, and digital transformation within the telecom sector. His predecessor, David Viret-Lange, also hailed from Orange, highlighting the deep operational DNA shared between SoftAtHome and its key operator partners. This leadership background underscores the company's focus on addressing operator challenges directly. A significant recent development was the acquisition of SoftAtHome's former parent company, Technicolor (now Vantiva), which acquired CommScope's Home Networks business in early 2024, further consolidating Vantiva's position in the connected home market.
