Freebox Pop (V8): a maximum bit rate much higher than that of the Freebox Mini 4K?


The presentation of the Freebox V8 (or presumably Freebox Pop) was to take place in the first half of 2020, but the health crisis went through there. Logically, the decision was therefore made to postpone its launch to a later date, still unknown. Pending official information, we must be content with the disclosures circulating on the web. And precisely, our colleagues on the site Universfreebox have gleaned some details. A surfer posted on Twitter two screenshots, where after having “searched”, he seems to have been able to see the maximum speed that she would be able to reach.

Up to 2.5 Gbit / s throughput?

The Freebox Pop appeared under its code name “fbx gw8” in the beta firmware of the Freebox Revolution. We learn that it can reach speeds of up to 2.5 Gbit / s against 1 Gbit / s for the Freebox Mini 4K it replaces. The Delta still dominates the debates with 10 Gbit / s, but the positioning is not the same. In addition, it would also be able to play 4K at 60 fps and it would support Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround formats.
