Freedom Through Technology: Orange Romania and .lumen Empower the Independence of People with Visual Impairments
Orange Romania and Romanian startup
.lumen announce a strategic partnership that brings together assistive technology and 5G connectivity to support independent mobility for people with visual impairments.
Technology can change lives when it is built for people
Through this partnership, people with visual impairments in Romania can benefit from a complete mobility solution designed to provide greater safety, autonomy and confidence in
everyday life.
With the support of Orange Romania, .lumen offers a dedicated package for blind and visually impaired users, which includes
- The .lumen device – assistive navigation technology
- A state-of-the-art smartphone
- High-speed 5G voice and mobile internet services
- eSIM for simple and fast activation
- Dedicated support through a specialized Orange Romania Call Center
The result is an end-to-end experience, built around real needs, enabling independent navigation
in real-world environments — from daily commutes to completely unfamiliar places.
Making the impossible possible: why is this partnership important?
-
In Romania, over 80,000 people live with visual impairments, more than 35,000 of whom are blind. For many of them, mobility and orientation remain major challenges.
The partnership between Orange Romania and .lumen directly addresses these challenges by offering more than technology: it offers freedom — the freedom to go to work, to the store or to a meeting independently, without relying on others.
