Netgem has signed an agreement with Virgin Mobile France, the French Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), for the launch of its Virgin Box TV offering. Netgem will provide its hardware and software technologies to enable Virgin Mobile France customers to access its quadruple-play services (broadband, broadcast, fixed-line and mobile telephony).

Virgin Mobile France will unveil its new services to French consumers in early 2012 and will leverage SFR’s ADSL network.

Christophe Aulnette, Chief Executive Officer of Netgem, added: “This new Virgin Mobile quadruple play offering is part of a new dynamic of the French IPTV market. We are thrilled to be involved in this project and to contribute with our knowhow, in partnership with SFR, to the emergence of a new ambitious and innovative player.”
