A strategic lever in the face of new economic and digital sovereignty challenges
Robust, powerful network infrastructures are key factors in operators’ competitiveness.
Network resilience, permanent availability, local hosting
In the face of new uses, these criteria are no longer options but fundamentals.
At Orange, we continually invest in robust infrastructures to maintain optimum service quality even in the event of failure, whether accidental, the result of an attack or a breakdown. To achieve this, we prioritize infrastructure and system redundancy to ensure continuity of service, diversity of technologies to reduce dependence on failures, and modularity in network design to limit the impact of breakdowns.
