Jungo’s Residential Gateway Software Successfully Completes TR-069 Interoperability Testing in SupportSoft Digital 360° Lab
CPE Vendors Can Now Build TR-069 Industry Compliant Residential Gateways Using Jungo’s Software Platform
Redwood City (CA), and San Jose (CA), September 13, 2005SupportSoft, Inc.(Nasdaq: SPRT), a leading provider of
Real-Time Service Management (RTSM™) software, and
Jungo
Ltd., a leading provider of residential, SOHO and SMB gateway
software platforms, today announced that Jungo has successfully
completed testing of its OpenRG residential gateway software for
compliance with the DSL Forum CPE WAN Management protocol known
as TR-069. Passing the interoperability test ensures that
SupportSoft ServiceGateway™ works with various DSL Customer
Premises Equipment (CPE), that are powered by Jungo’s
OpenRG software.
Jungo’s OpenRG software allows CPE
manufacturers to design devices that can interoperate with
network-based remote CPE management solutions, such as
SupportSoft ServiceGateway, to more reliably configure, provision
and manage their equipment. This enables Telcos to maintain
efficiency in cost of triple play service deployment and customer
satisfaction with CPE devices using Jungo software.
TR-069 provides the necessary framework for efficient and
scalable deployment of value added services on top of a DSL
broadband infrastructure, including combined delivery of IP-based
voice, video and data services, known within the industry as the
“triple play.” Jungo and SupportSoft have validated
that Jungo’s software and SupportSoft ServiceGateway
software interoperate in accordance with the DSL Forum TR-069
specification. Jungo’s OpenRG residential gateway software
platform is being deployed in a variety of CPE devices from
companies such as Linksys, Belkin and others.
“We have seen significant demand from our OpenRG
software platform customers for TR-069 based CPE
auto-configuration and remote management capabilities, which has
become a mandatory requirement by the world leading
Telcos,” said Gilad Brand, Jungo’s Director of
Product Management. “The Jungo and SupportSoft combination
enables CPE manufacturers to bring to market a carrier grade
TR-069 solution that paves the way for advanced digital voice,
video and data services.”
The SupportSoft Digital 360° Interoperability Lab was
launched last year to help CPE hardware and software vendors
perform independent compatibility testing with DSL Forum
technical specification standards. The DSL Forum is recognized
as the leading telecommunications industry consortium dedicated
to developing the full potential of DSL broadband. Its
membership includes 200 leading service providers, equipment
manufacturers and other interested parties worldwide -- all
committed to developing common standards and embracing new
applications to meet the needs of the next generation of
multi-media services for DSL customers.
“Jungo’s completion of SupportSoft’s Digital
360ºInteroperability Lab testing process for their software
is significant because it is used on such a wide variety of CPE
devices,” said Richard Caballero, director of product
management at SupportSoft. “Jungo’s compliance with
TR-069 means that CPE manufacturers can be assured that their
devices can be remotely managed by SupportSoft ServiceGateway and
thus meet an important service provider requirement for triple
play residential gateways.”
