with 4G and fiber, new applications will soon come to light
A judging panel made up of Orange employees has selected the twelve products that best meet the following criteria: the solution’s innovative nature, its ability to harness the power of 4G and/or fiber, and the added value for the end client.
The six companies presenting the most relevant projects will be supported by Orange over a six-week period while the product or service is created.
The companies reaching the final will then present their product to a judging panel. After deliberation, three winners will be chosen in three categories:
- “at home”: the best product or service that harnesses the power of fiber
- “on the move”: the best product or service that harnesses the power of 4G
- a “grand jury prize” that rewards the judging panel’s favorite solution.
