What Sagemcom does

Sagemcom is a French privately-held technology group that designs, manufactures, and deploys broadband customer premises equipment, smart metering infrastructure for utilities, and audio-video set-top boxes. It operates three divisions: Broadband Solutions (gateways supporting Wi-Fi 7, FTTx (GPON, XGS-PON, 10G/50G-PON), DOCSIS 3.1/4.0/5.0, xDSL, and 5G FWA, plus software platforms SWAN, COSMOS, and NEXA); Energy & Telecom (Siconia smart electricity, gas, and water meters using G3-PLC, PRIME PLC, NB-IoT, and hybrid RF/PLC, plus LV grid digitalization via Sagemcom Odit-e); and Audio Video Solutions (4K set-top boxes, Voice STB with far-field voice, and the Video Soundbox, marketed as the world's first Dolby Atmos certified 4K STB). The company serves 150+ active customers across 50+ countries, primarily telecom operators, energy and water utilities, and pay-TV service operators. It also co-founded WeLight, a sub-Saharan African solar mini-grid operator.

Revenue is generated through B2B hardware sales (the largest stream), software and middleware subscriptions, and sustainability/consulting services. The company sells exclusively via direct enterprise sales teams targeting operators and utilities, with quote-based, multi-year contracts and no retail channel. Primary manufacturing occurs at a 15+ year Tunisian plant, supplemented by sites in France, Italy, Germany, and Brazil. The group is anchored by Sagemcom Broadband SAS (Bois-Colombes, France) and four wholly-owned German subsidiaries—Sagemcom Dr. Neuhaus GmbH (BSI-certified smart meter gateways), Sagemcom Fröschl GmbH (metering data management software handling 5+ million metering points daily), Sagemcom IMD Center GmbH (metering point operator services), and Sagemcom Odit-e (LV grid digitalization). Sagemcom participates in RDK, prpl Foundation, and CableLabs interoperability programs, and became a mission-driven company ('entreprise à mission') under French law in January 2022. The company reports 6,500+ employees (including 1,700+ R&D engineers) and €2.3 billion in annual turnover.
