NEWPORT BEACH and SAN JOSE Calif., January 8, 2008 - Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPD), a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, and Jungo Ltd., a leading provider of broadband value–added-service solutions, today announced that the two companies have integrated Jungo’s OpenRG™ software with Mindspeed’s Comcerto™ 100 broadband gateway processors. The integrated product targets operators that plan to fully utilize their fiber access network capacity to deliver media-rich services.
The integrated product is a high-performance, Gigabit Ethernet and voice-over-IP (VoIP) platform that enables operators to offer their customers home entertainment applications, such as high definition IPTV and video on demand. The new solution has been selected by OEMs such as JStream Technologies for their next-generation broadband gateway and broadband home router designs.
“When Jstream was asked to provide broadband gateway solutions for one of the largest service providers in the world, we turned to Mindspeed and Jungo to bring these new products to market quickly,” said Dr. James Chen, president and chief executive officer of JStream Technologies. “Mindspeed’s high-performance Comcerto 100 processor and Jungo’s field-proven OpenRG software provided the right combination of speed and functionality for JStream to succeed with this and with future deployments at other service providers.”
The Comcerto 100 broadband gateway processor powered by Jungo's software enables service providers to deploy sophisticated, reliable services with the high-packet throughput required for delivering next-generation multimedia content to their subscribers. It offers intelligent sophisticated data routing with quality of service (QoS), carrier-class VoIP, IPv6 support, virtual private networks with firewalls, as well as seamless support for multiple, emerging local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) networking technologies.
“Our collaboration with Jungo offers OEM customers a compelling price/performance solution for the fast growing broadband gateway and service router market,” said Preet Virk, senior vice president and general manager of Mindspeed’s enterprise and customer premise equipment business unit. “Combining the superior applications and performance headroom of the Comcerto 100 broadband gateway processor with Jungo’s field-proven OpenRG software suite enables us to bring to the market a complete, ready-to-deploy, open source-friendly platform for service providers.”
OpenRG is a scalable suite of software technologies 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 and operators unrivaled flexibility for rapidly developing market-specific products.
“Service providers strive to build and maintain their presence and service uptake within the subscriber’s digital home in order to increase their average revenue per user and reduce customer churn, and are seeking a solution that provides superior service delivery," said Moshe Zimerman, Jungo's vice president of sales. “Our collaboration with Mindspeed using their Comcerto 100 broadband gateway processors delivers a comprehensive solution for deploying and managing the multi-service connected home.”
OpenRG v4.9, supporting Mindspeed’s Comcerto 100, is available for download from Jungo’s website at www.jungo.com.
