In July 2000, France Telecom became one of the first carriers in Europe to obtain an IPv6 prefix for issuing addresses. This milestone reflects the pivotal role played by France Telecom’s R&D center in IPv6 standardization work, in addition to the group’s role as a major Internet operator. | ||
| In 2000, France Telecom became one of the first European carriers to offer international IPv6 connectivity (OpenTransit V6).
In 2001, France Telecom R&D deployed Europe’s first campus WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) based on the Mobile IPv6 protocol, in collaboration with Strasbourg University. Buildout will continue in 2004 and 2005. Also in 2001, France Telecom R&D migrated its experimental Very High Speed Network (2.5 Gigabits per second) to IPv6, implementing a roadmap that will lead to general deployment in 2004 of the dual stack option across the entire network (core and access).
