Ikanos And Jungo Announce VDSL2 Residential Gateway Joint Reference Platform
Fusiv® Network Processor and OpenRG Software Platform Enable OEMs to Deliver Telco-Ready Service Gateways
Fremont, Calif., and San Jose, Calif., January 29, 2007
Ikanos Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: IKAN), a leading developer and provider of Fiber Fast™
broadband solutions, and Jungo Ltd., a leading provider of
broadband gateway middleware, today introduced a joint
Residential Gateway (RG) reference platform to enable triple play
offerings from broadband service providers. The new VDSL2
residential gateway platform – which is backward compatible
with ADSL2/2+ and VDSL1 – is designed to deliver the
flexibility and performance service providers need to offer
revenue-generating services.
The VDSL2 residential gateway reference
platform merges the power of Jungo’s OpenRG gateway
software platform with Ikanos’ Fusiv® processor. The
platform delivers industry-leading 100 Mbps symmetrical
throughput utilizing the underlying Fusiv architecture with the
Fx™100100S-5. Support is also available for the Fx10050S-5
chipset. The joint reference platform is designed to support a
number of applications, including VDSL2, ADSL2+, Internet
Protocol television (IPTV), home media distribution, home
networking, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Wireless Local
Area Networking (WLAN), Ethernet switching, data routing, NAT,
firewall and TR-069 remote management support.
”By combining the power of
Jungo’s market–leading OpenRG software with our
powerful VDSL2 residential gateway platform, we are delivering a
complete triple play solution,” said Dean Westman, vice
president and general manager of Ikanos’ Gateway Products
Group. “This new, production-ready platform is designed to
enable OEMs and ODMs worldwide to quickly meet service provider
requirements for offering advanced voice, video and data
services.”
“Jungo’s OpenRG software, in
combination with the distributed architecture of Fusiv, enables
OEMs to provide a fully functional residential gateway over which
operators provide multiple services to their residential and
small business customers,” said Ofer Vilenski, CEO of
Jungo. “This combined, production-ready solution emphasizes
both companies' commitment to provide our customers with
cutting-edge technology and solutions."
The residential and small business
broadband service gateway market is rapidly accelerating, with
shipments slated to top $1 billion by 2009, according to the
Yankee Group.
OpenRG speeds development of these gateways
with a modular architecture that includes application programming
interfaces (APIs) for a wide range of popular services and
functions, including IPTV, home media distribution, WLAN,
firewall, VoIP, IP-Private Branch Exchange (IP-PBX), remote file
access and parental control. This robust functionality gives
gateway manufacturers unrivaled flexibility for rapidly
developing market-specific products.
The Fusiv processor supports OpenRG's
design flexibility with wire-speed packet processing and
programmable accelerator processors that offload the main
processor. By doing so, it provides a scalable solution to meet
increasing processing demands from the residential gateway and it
easily supports multi-service delivery of services at speeds of
100 Mbps or more.
