PARIS -- Technicolor (Euronext Paris: TCH; OTCQX: TCLRY) is supporting Comcast's recently announced launch of advanced consumer trial of DOCSIS 3.1-powered gigabit Internet service in Atlanta, with plans to expand gigabit service to additional markets later this year. Technicolor will provide a DOCSIS 3.1-powered, gigabit modem that Comcast will use in some of its early deployments.

"The launch of new gigabit home Internet options further establishes Comcast as a technology leader. Technicolor worked closely with Comcast to provide consumers with the kind of connected home network device necessary to support the next generation of ultra-fast Internet speeds," said Luis Martinez-Amago, President Connected Home North America.

Technicolor was among the first companies worldwide to demonstrate expertise in bringing ultra-broadband technologies to the home when its DOCSIS 3.1 modem technology was certified by CableLabs in January of 2016.
