At the Broadband World Forum, Thomson (Euronext 18453; NYSE: TMS) will launch new broadband gateways that will allow telecom operators to provide more diverse and faster services to both their consumer and business customers.
To enable telecom operators to serve their consumer customers with the best possible broadband experience, Thomson will unveil two unique gateway product lines: the MediaCenterGateway and the TG797n.
For telecom operators wanting to deliver service to their business customers, Thomson will introduce another new gateway, the TG628, the first product in a new range of advanced broadband gateways for business DSL deployments.

“These advanced broadband gateway offerings from Thomson now allow telecom operators to deliver on the promise of broadband efficiencies and entertainment possibilities to both the consumer and business,” said Bruno Fabre, Vice President, Premises Systems at Thomson. “Each of these gateways that we are showing for the first time at the Broadband World Forum is not only easy for operators to deploy and manage, but simple for end users to operate.”
