SAN JOSE, USA, JULY 21 2008
Jungo Ltd., a leading provider of USB software protocol stacks and tools for driver development and testing,
has joined with Ralink Technology Corporation to develop a unique low-footprint USB based Wi-Fi solution.
This new solution enables equipment manufacturers to integrate Wi-Fi capabilities into non-native Wi-Fi
platform designs using the USB interface. The cooperation combines Jungo's proven embedded USB software with
Ralink's extensive knowledge of wireless chipset design.
Jungo's embedded stacks combined with Ralink's Wi-Fi chipsets enable OEMs and manufacturers of home entertainment
equipment, automotive infotainment products and other embedded devices to add dynamic Wi-Fi capabilities to their
designs without increasing their cost.
The Wi-Fi USB solution from Jungo and Ralink includes support for seamless integration of TCP/IP protocols via USB,
universal security algorithms such as WPA, WEP and WEP2 and full support for all IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi standards.
"The collaboration between our companies has led to the creation of a new niche in the Wi-Fi enabled device market,"
says Ophir Herbst, Vice President and General Manager for Jungo Connectivity Software. "We believe that enabling manufacturers to
integrate Wi-Fi capabilities seamlessly into USB enabled devices will provide long-term benefits to consumers."
"Ralink is pleased to partner with Jungo to offer the leading edge Wi-Fi enabled USB solutions that create new revenue
opportunities for our customers," said Rick Jeng, President of Ralink Technology. "The Ralink-Jungo solution provides
OEMs and ODMs an integrated solution that can enhance the performance of their products and help bring them to market faster."
Jungo also offers extensive connectivity software solutions for USB and PCI, including WinDriver™, a driver development toolkit that enables developers to quickly create custom device drivers that can run on a multitude of operating systems without modification, and USBware™, a complete, high-quality embedded USB software protocol stack, allowing device manufacturers to easily incorporate standard USB OTG/Host/Device connectivity in their designs.
