Technology: Jungo Released OpenRG/OpenSMB v4.3 with Optimized Usability and Enhanced Software Performance Jungo has recently released OpenRG and OpenSMB v4.3, which includes new technology modules for broadband CPE manufacturers and service providers. Version 4.3 includes new usability and performance features to fit service providers’ latest requirements for gateways such as simple installation and setup.

The product now enables the home and office user to easily focus on the root cause of failures at the gateway, and the services affected. The new version includes a Web page interception functionality to enable a first-time on-the-fly setup of the gateway and a captive portal to allow authenticated wireless access without the need to go through complex wireless security definitions, which reduces support calls from end-users.

All modules can be remotely updated to gateways that are already deployed by Jungo's customers, and are pre-integrated into the OpenRG and OpenSMB software suites for easy implementation in future devices.

In addition, Jungo has launched a new Graphical User Interface (GUI). The new efficient and user-friendly design addresses both the residential and business user needs.
