NEW ORLEANS, USA – May 20, 2008 (The Cable Show,
Jungo Suite ES-38) – Jungo
Ltd, a leading provider of broadband residential gateway software
solutions today
announced that its OpenRG™ residential gateway middleware
and OpenSMB™ small and
medium business gateway middleware are now available to cable
network operators,
through an integration with the Texas Instruments Incorporated
(TI) (NYSE: TXN) Puma 5
family of DOCSIS® 3.0-based (Data Over Cable Service Interface
Specification) cable
modem chipsets. The Puma 5 family is the industry’s first
DOCSIS 3.0 compliant cable
modem chipset, providing a flexible and scalable platform that
enables equipment
manufacturers to build systems for compelling next-generation
voice, data and video
service offerings.
Cable equipment vendors deploying the new platform will be able
to introduce cutting-edge residential and business gateways in
the shortest time possible. Cable operators will be able to fully
utilize their access network capacity to deliver media-rich services.
Market research reports indicate that as the digital home landscape
continues to evolve towards IPTV, cable operators face increasing
competition in home media offerings from competing service providers,
and mobile operators. DOCSIS 3.0 technology enables advanced
video services by delivering interactive IP video to the home
over DOCSIS. This allows cable operators to free up bandwidth
on multicast networks and take advantage of the innovative features
offered by IP video.
TI’s Puma 5 chipsets combine DOCSIS 3.0 features such as channel
bonding with TI’s packet processing routing accelerator to enable
the highest bi-directional bandwidth rates of more than 160 Mbps
in the downstream and up to 120 Mbps downstream in any packet
size, routing or bridging, while assuring best in class voice
or video over IP QoS service. Along with Jungo’s feature–rich
middleware, and a high degree of scalability to include capabilities
such as wireless LAN, security, QoS, VoIP, IP-PBX, and UPnP AV
Media Server, operators can offer their subscribers gateways
that are designed for the rapid delivery of advanced broadband
services including home entertainment applications, such as high
definition IPTV and video on demand.
“By leveraging TI’s Puma 5 family of proven DOCSIS 3.0
products with packet process engine technology, we enabled Jungo
to add its unique residential gateway middleware platform on
top of Puma 5 to create a high-performance solution to offer
our customers and other multi service operators,” said Ran
Senderovitz, TI’s cable business manager. “TI’s Puma 5 chipset
is designed to empower our customers and partners with the ability
to develop differentiated software and hardware to meet the varied
market demand for voice, video and data services.”
In support of this new gateway platform, Jungo also provides
a solution to help operators reduce customer support costs, which
often increase when deploying new services. Cable operators deploying
this joint solution will be able to keep operational expenses
at a minimum using Jungo’s Support Cost Reduction (SCR™)
offering. They can thus continuously respond to market trends
and customer demands by introducing new services, placing them
in a strong position to increase revenues, build customer loyalty
and reduce churn.
“Our collaboration with TI offers our customers a leading
edge technology solution for the fast growing cable gateway and
service router market,” said Eran Rom, Jungo’s CEO. “This
joint solution enables cable operators to build and maintain
their presence and service uptake within the subscriber’s multi
service digital home.”
