Pace Puts Bouygues Telecom in Driving Seat With New Gateway Software Platform PR Newswire SALTAIRE, England, August 29, 2012 SALTAIRE, England, August 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pace's Helium software underpins Bouygues Telecom gateway platform to enable fast, remote rollout of new services, apps and features across all gateway devices Pace plc today announced that it is providing the Pace Helium Unified Gateway Software and professional services to support the rollout of Bouygues Telecom's gateway platform. Bouygues Telecom, one of France's major mobile, fixed line, Internet and TV communications providers, will install Pace's Helium Unified Gateway Software platform across all if its new BBOX Sensation gateways, as well as legacy devices, in 1.3million subscriber homes across France. The deal will allow Bouygues Telecom to have full control over the platform moving forward, so that it can deploy updates easily, when needed. Helium's hardware-agnostic design enables Bouygues Telecom to remote manage and deploy services or technical changes across all gateway devices in subscribers' homes, regardless of vendor. Previously Bouygues Telecom would have had to work with each individual hardware vendor to install their own software onto each device. With Helium, Bouygues Telecom can now test and qualify on one gateway solution, eliminating the need for vendor-specific integration work when changes are made.
