Orange is executing another page from its multiservice strategy playbook by getting into the home telesurveillance business.

Orange announced Wednesday that it has partnered with Groupama to create a jointly owned company, Protectline, which will enable Orange to become a player in the security sector in its home country of France.

As the name implies, telesurveillance is a system that uses cameras to monitor either private homes or business locations. Orange and Groupama signed a deal this month to create Protectline as a joint platform for the operation and management of home telesurveillance services. Orange holds a majority 51% stake in Protectline while Groupama has the remaining 49%.
