Easy-to-use high-tech capabilities
Neuf Cegetel developed the new Neuf Box to make the most advanced technical features readily accessible to even the most non-technical users.
Neuf Box implements the Wi-Fi® 802.11g standard with a simplified and secure automatic setup procedure. Wireless connection for new PCs operates by automatic device recognition, with no need for the user to enter a network name (SSID) or WEP encryption code. Secure Wi-Fi® hookup is by WPA or WEP encryption. The built-in Wi-Fi® chip is optimized with BroadRange™ technology from Broadcom Corporation, for longer range, higher datarates, and lower electricity consumption by mobile handsets. With its new Neuf Box, Neuf Cegetel reaffirms its quadri play strategy.
The new Neuf Box has extensive connection capabilities, with two 480 Mbit/s high-speed USB 2.0 master ports and four Ethernet ports, opening the way to full convergence with simultaneous use of home multimedia equipment: desktop and laptop computers, video game consoles, shared printer and hard disk, etc. To connect a Neuf TV HD decoder, Neuf Box users can opt for 85 Mbit/s power-line technology from Neuf Cegetel and get the best of Neuf TV HD service without wiring constraints: the television can be located anywhere in the home, even separated from the Neuf Box and the phone socket by thick walls.
Straightforward and hassle-free setup remains a distinctive feature of the Neuf Box system. Setting up the box is a matter of minutes, using a connection kit on CD-ROM, with flash animations providing step-by-step user guidance. Internet, telephony and television services are configured automatically and without any customer intervention. With the automatic authentication of the user by the network, there is no need to input any identification code (ADSL connexion and VoIP), which makes the installation simpler and safer. Finally, cable ends are matched to the Neuf Box connectors by colour-coding, for rapid and foolproof connection.
Open-ended and upgradeable architecture
As well as addressing the expectations of users today, Neuf Box is also ready to accommodate new developments to come, with its comprehensive connection capabilities, advanced electronic circuitry and open-ended software design. Forthcoming firmware upgrades from Neuf Cegetel will be uploaded automatically for user-transparent installation.
The new Neuf Box features the latest-generation 300 MHz MIPS32® Dual Thread processor, ready for FTTH, with a simple Ethernet optical converter handling fibre connection to the Neuf Box.
The forthcoming Wi-Fi® 802.11n standard will be supported directly, by means of a slot-in card; users won’t need to change their box. The new Neuf Box will also support the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard (scheduled for spring 2007), for secure automatic recognition of all standard Wi-Fi® peripherals.
The Neuf Box firmware makes extensive use of Open Source and Linux 2.6. Sources under general public licence are accessible via a special community website, which invites new program input from developers. From the Neuf Box web interface, users can access software validated by Neuf Cegetel and install it freely in a memory area provided for this purpose.
Smart, customizable design consistent with sustainable development objectives
The new Neuf Box features a smart new design. The illuminated front panel uses innovative IMD (In-Mold Decoration) technology, which involves forming the decoration during the plastic injection moulding process, for optimum image clarity and durability. Users can adjust the illumination brightness or switch it off altogether.
Neuf Box provides clear user information, with front-panel pictograms showing active usages. An “Info” lamp reporting on Neuf Box status. With future upgrades, this multi-coloured indicator could be user-programmed with custom colour settings.
The Neuf Box can stand horizontally or vertically.
Sustainable development was a primary design consideration for Neuf Box: Neuf Cegetel runs a product return and recycling programme to ensure safe ecological disposal of Neuf Box units when they reach the end of their useful lives. All materials used meet low-energy-consumption requirements.
