SAN JOSE, USA - May 18, 2009 — Jungo
Ltd., an NDS Group
company and a leading provider of software solutions for residential
gateways, today announced that ZON
TVCabo, a subsidiary of ZON
Multimedia and Portugal’s largest triple-play cable operator,
has chosen a suite of Jungo’s broadband software solutions
to support the operator’s residential and business customers.
ZON TVCabo has selected Jungo’s OpenRG™ and OpenSMB™ DOCSIS
3.0 gateway middleware for its new ZON Net Wideband™ and
ZON Empresas™ home and small office gateways, as well as
the newly available SCR™ (Support Cost Reduction) offering
for cable operators and the JRMS™ (Jungo Remote Management
System).
“We were seeking to provide our customers with DOCSIS
3.0 gateways with wireless and voice capabilities that deliver
the highest possible value while minimizing our capital expenditure.
We realized early on that hardware and software do not need
to come from the same vendor and, in fact, that the separation
of the two is a great way to enable true flexibility now and
in the future,” said Luis Lopes, Executive Director of
ZON Multimedia. Nuno Sanches, Internet Products Director at
ZON TVCabo added: “We selected Jungo for the software
side of the equation as they are the market experts in hardware-agnostic
gateway middleware.”
Using Jungo technology, home subscribers can enjoy the broadest
spectrum of multimedia offerings, including complete broadband
access, 802.11n wireless, IP telephony, highly secure high-speed
web access, print sharing, file sharing, UpNP AV media sharing – all
without the need for additional devices. Small business users
will benefit from Jungo’s “office-in-a-box” solution
that delivers a wide range of valuable business features such
as advanced PBX over SIP capabilities for multiple users as
well as two PacketCable voice ports for fax and a credit card
swipe reader, all with minimized setup and maintenance costs.
“Our relationship with ZON TVCabo
represents another key step forward in Jungo’s broadband
business development,” said
Eran Rom, Jungo CEO. “More and more operators are realizing
the significant benefits of our flexible broadband software
solutions. TVCabo is a forward-thinking company who were quick
to recognize the trend towards implementing hardware-agnostic
technologies, and seized on it. We are very pleased to work
with these true innovators in support of their next-generation
DOCSIS 3.0 wireless gateway.”
In addition to the OpenRG residential gateway middleware for
consumers and OpenSMB, business gateway middleware for small
and home offices (SOHO), ZON TVCabo
also chose the Jungo Support Cost Reduction (SCR) solution
for cable service providers, whose availability was announced
in April 2009. Jungo’s SCR solution is an intelligent mechanism
residing both in the cable gateway and on the central office
side which identifies problems in the home network, activates
a “self healing” mechanism
or provides clear troubleshooting guidance to subscribers when
needed. It also equips customer support staff with a range
of tools to quickly identify and resolve problems remotely,
thereby significantly reducing operational costs and increasing
subscriber satisfaction.
