Ozone is currently working to achieve full coverage of Paris . But the capital city is but a small portion of the territory the Pervasive Network intends to cover in the long term. This is why Ozone will shortly be offering franchising opportunities, designed to allow other players to construct and operate their own Ozone network in other towns and villages, in France and beyond.

The use of Wi-Fi, basic Network construction principles and technologies developed by Ozone for OzoneParis.net… all these elements create easy opportunities for the deployment solutions at a fraction of the cost, proportionally to the coverage area. In addition, mutualisation of services offered to subscribers and common Network & user management make even the smallest zone economically viable.

With Ozone’s franchise opportunities, anyone - established companies, entrepreneurs, local operators, communities, non-profit organisations - will enjoy the capacity to develop the Pervasive Network locally for a manageable cost. Collective construction of Ozone offers around France will help to spread the Pervasive Network concept all over the country: it will be possible for any user to connect freely in any town or village with an Ozone network, regardless of the actual franchise he subscribed to. For instance, an OzoneMontelimar franchise subscriber will be able to connect to the OzoneParis network at no extra cost, any time he visits the city of lights. Conversely, an OzoneParis subscriber can connect seamlessly to the OzoneMontelimar network.

OzoneVillage: the very first franchise

In order to fine-tune the terms of its franchise formula, Ozone has entered into the first agreement to form a pilot franchise: OzoneVillage. OzoneVillage deploys Wi-Fi networks in rural communities with a couple of thousand inhabitants. It employs the exact same technology as what Ozone is using to build OzoneParis.

This is proof that this type of solution is suitable at both ends of the scale (and therefore in between): the largest town of France , and the smallest ones.
