Will the Iliad 2022 fixed network be made? All the clues, even if few and rather generic, suggest that the low cost operator's fiber optic offer could arrive in the early days of the new year but there are no real confirmations. Iliad itself has announced that it will maintain the strictest confidentiality regarding the launch of its first home Internet offer in order not to lose the surprise effect. At the moment the only certainty we have is that the French provider is working in collaboration with Open Fiber and FiberCop, a company headed by TIM with which it signed an agreement last August, for the construction of a fiber optic network in the variant. FTTH (Fiber to the Home) with coverage at 75% in the gray and black areas by 2025. This type of connection provides for a direct connection between the transmission station and the user's end modem.

Iliad fixed network 2022: the latest news
Iliad announced its future entry into the fixed network market in the spring of 2021. Initially, the launch of the first fiber optic offering was supposed to arrive by the summer of the same year and then postponed by the company's CEO, Thomas Reynaud, to a subsequent period without giving more precise indications. In November, the newspaper La Repubblica published an article in which it hypothesized the presentation of the fiber optic offer for the end of the month, perhaps starting from some slides which read "the fixed broadband offer is on the launch pad" . It was also thought that Iliad's direct competitors, i.e. ho. Mobile, Kena Mobile and perhaps Very Mobile too, would have responded by launching their own tariff for the fixed network. However, all the rumors went up in smoke with Reynaud's statements during the presentation of the financial results for the last quarter of 2021.
“I will not comment on the launch date of our broadband activities. Because it is a very competitive market and we want to keep the surprise on the network rollout. - said the CEO - Our investments in the network are driving profitability and I think we have made the right decision by clearly aiming at an acceleration of the rollout of our network. This strategy is paying off. We aim to reach break even in the first half and we expect a strong increase in profitability in the second half in Italy ".
Iliad on 15 December joined Asstel, an association that brings together the most active companies in the telecommunications sector, but the real news regarding the Iliad 2022 fixed network came from the CEO of the Italian division, Benedetto Levi. Last week, the manager attended the Q&A event #wiredtrends of Wired magazine and when asked when the launch of the offer for the fixed network will take place, he replied: “There is very little missing. Thousands and thousands of people are asking for it every day, every day. Our mobile users are anxiously waiting for us to arrive on the landline. So now we can say that there is very little and we really believe that even on that market we can do what we have called the Iliad revolution. That is to really bring a breath of fresh air in terms of offers, in the way of relating to people, so we can't wait to arrive “. "Very soon", he then reiterated on the fact that the tariff will arrive within the next year. It is therefore not excluded that the Iliad 2022 fixed network may debut as early as January.

We therefore know little or nothing about the launch date of the Iliad fixed network 2022 but perhaps something more than what its characteristics will be based on the fiber optic offer of Free, a brand that the company uses for the fixed network in France. Reynaud a few months ago confirmed that Freebox Pop will also arrive in Italy, the portable Wi-Fi router that today also includes our language among those available. In Italy, the Iliad 2022 fixed network could be marketed under the name of Iliadbox. The brand was in fact presented by mistake in the summer on some promotional totems in the Iliad Corners and was then covered with a band with the company logo affixed to it. As for the sale, it is likely that the Iliad 2022 fixed network will be activated both online and using the Simboxes in the operator's single-brand stores and corners in large-scale distribution and shopping centers.
Freebox Pop allows thanks to the MU-MIMO function on different devices at the same time at the speed of the optical fiber with performances even higher than 1 Gigabit per second. The modem then has an even more secure authentication system via QR Code and is associated with the TV box Player Pop. The latter uses Android TV as its operating system and integrates Google's Chromecast TV dongle. The decoder then has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage space available to the user. Authentication for greater security is done by scanning a QR Code. Player Pop allows you to view content in 4K and supports Dolby Atmos and Surrond 5.1 systems. From the TV Box you can then follow 220 Canal + channels (included for 12 months) and access popular apps such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Also included with the TV box is an intelligent remote control and the ability to view content on smartphones, tablets and other devices from the OQEE By Free app. FreeBox Pop with calls to national landlines and mobile phones, activation and a Wi-Fi Pop repeater included has a cost of 29.99 euros per month for one year, then 39.99 euros per month. By adding just under 10 euros per month you can also have a mobile SIM with unlimited minutes, SMS and Giga to surf in 5G.
