On March 11, 2026, at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) held in Barcelona, Spain, ZTE Corporation, a renowned leader in integrated information and communication technology solutions, unveiled its latest innovation in partnership with Orange Morocco—the Livebox 7. This next-generation smart home terminal marks a significant milestone as it is the world's first commercial Optical Network Terminal (ONT) built on the prplOS 4.0 open-source standard. Furthermore, it is the inaugural prpl commercial ONT designed to support a third-party multi-service ecosystem, allowing Moroccan households to fully embrace an all-encompassing smart home experience.

It boasts a top-tier hardware configuration that includes 1GB of memory, ten smart antennas, and tri-band Wi-Fi 7, which collectively ensure a seamless internet connection throughout the home. In addition to its impressive connectivity capabilities, the device prioritizes user security by incorporating enterprise-level protections, such as a built-in VPN that safeguards user privacy, along with enhanced parental controls for better management of internet usage. The intelligent energy-saving features also reflect a commitment to green, low-carbon development practices, aligning with today's sustainability goals.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Livebox 7 is its compatibility with various third-party applications, fostering an open and integrated home digital ecosystem that enhances the user experience. The design of the device harmoniously merges cutting-edge technology with North African humanistic aesthetics, drawing inspiration from the intricate patterns of traditional Moroccan Zellige tiles to create an elegant and culturally rich appearance.
