Home Gateway Software Platforms News Press Releases

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 11, 2006

Jungo Ltd., a leading provider of Residential, and SMB gateway software platforms released today a bundled set of IPTV related features focused on delivering the best customer viewing experience of IPTV in the market.  There are three parts of Jungo's new software version that display strong differentiation: a stateful quality of service mechanism, application level performance visibility and an intuitive graphical user interface modified for remote problem resolution.  These features were defined in conjunction with Tier One service providers from around the globe who increasingly understand the pivotal role that the residential gateway serves in their triple play designs.  One Top 3 service provider in the U.S. is now shipping Jungo-based CPE devices in volume across their high speed-bandwidth footprint as a strong validation of Jungo's value proposition for this important service application market.

The application aware stateful QoS mechanism is a Jungo innovation that enables high quality video streams to be protected against other applications with the most minimal of configuration.  Jungo's stateful QoS is coupled with granular application level monitoring capabilities that allow the service provider to have visibility into traffic patterns in the home and to be alerted if there is any application on the network that might be out of a normal usage profile.  This feature helps the service provider to be aware of the state of the digital home and to advise the consumer of adjustments that can be made to have a finely tuned set of digital entertainment services.  Lastly problem remediation is dramatically improved by Jungo's optimization of a new GUI around quick problem identification and resolution.  Through feedback from service providers with vast operational experience in supporting millions of broadband subscribers the new GUI allows problems to be prominently displayed and network operations employees to be quickly directed to the right parameters to be modified to address a given issue.

"Jungo was the first vendor in the market to see the strategic role the gateway plays in maintaining the quality of the triple play service experience.  This latest release is just further proof that we continue to innovate to help our customers drive the maximum value out of their IPTV investments;" remarked David Messina, Jungo's VP of Product Management.

In addition to its general software differentiators for IPTV services, Jungo's OpenRG is a uniquely flexible platform, which is of paramount importance when dealing with large service providers and their unique requirements.  For example there are a number of regionalized views on how to best deliver Hi-Definition video networked content in the home.  In North America HPNVAv3 and MOCA are leading solutions leveraging existing in-home cabling, whereas in Europe PLC and WiFi might be the best solutions.  Jungo supports all these LAN technologies and can support carrier specific silicon vendor selections with a minimal amount of effort.
