VoIP Gateways

Ikanos (News - Alert) Communications, Inc. is all set to showcase its latest processors and reference platforms, designed exclusively for the booming residential gateway market, at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.  

Nowadays, many service providers look to offer a wide range of services to their residential customers. The smart gateway’s ability to manage and process content has turned into a key enabler for these new service offerings.

Officials said that the demonstrations will cover a wide variety of functionalities, ranging from media processing and distribution to portable consumer devices via a media gateway platform, to showcasing the latest in-home and cloud-based diagnostics and monitoring capabilities offered by the company's premier inSIGHT BXM software suite.

Ikanos’s first platform which it will demonstrate at CES (News - Alert) will focus on media processing and distribution throughout the home. An Ikanos partner media processor will complement an Ikanos Fusiv gateway processor with integrated VDSL2 for a feature-rich media gateway platform supporting aggregate WAN data rates reaching over 300Mbps.

Based on the position of the Ikanos Fusiv gateway processors, Ikanos will also showcase its cost-optimized, turnkey home-gateway reference, designed on the basis of the Fusiv Vx183 processor with integrated inSIGHT BXM in-home monitoring and diagnostics.

"Ikanos' Fusiv processors have been deployed by Tier One carriers worldwide," said Omid Tahernia, president and CEO of Ikanos, in a press statement. "With rising service provider demand for higher performance, support for a wider range of applications, and an enhanced level of security and diagnostics capability, we believe our Fusiv gateway processors are uniquely positioned to be the gateway solution of choice for service providers, as they plan their next-generation multi-service gateways."

In October 2013, TMCnet reported that Ikanos Communications, a provider of advanced broadband semiconductor and software products for the digital home, has introduced a new “applications gateway” for M2M communication technology.
