Modacom Licenses 6WINDGate(TM) Software for Faster Product Time to MarketSEOUL, South Korea & PARIS --(Business Wire)-- July 21, 2005 -- 6WIND (www.6wind.com), the leader in advanced IP-agnostic networking software, announced today, Modacom's decision in licensing 6WINDGate(TM) to complement its software expertise and value-add for new generation networking. Modacom (www.modacom.co.kr), an innovative and leading IPv6 company which develops IPv6 protocol stacks for CDMA phones, mobile VoIP soft phone solutions for wireless LAN and WiBRO environments, and network management system solutions, will integrate 6WINDGate(TM) within its product design and development cycle to extend the company's product offering for South Korea's broadband market. "Modacom's ambition runs parallel with the aggressive growth of the South Korean broadband communications market. Reliability and time to market are crucial elements to gain a competitive edge. Having 6WINDGate(TM)'s comprehensive IPv4-IPv6 technology complement our software technology is a breakthrough alternative to developing everything by ourselves. This way, we optimize our engineering cost and are able to build on Modacom's core expertise in mobility control, IPv6 transition and network management systems. Integrated together with 6WINDGate(TM)'s comprehensive IP-agnostic middleware, Modacom can go to market on schedule with an enhanced new product for Korea's new generation of wired and wireless applications," said Dr. Yong-Jin Kim, Modacom's Chief Technology Officer. Dr. Kim is also the founder of the IPv6 Forum Korea and a recognized leader for driving IPv6 deployment in Korea. "Modacom is a dynamic emerging leader who stays true to its customer-oriented approach and makes all efforts to respond timely to market demand. 6WIND is proud to be able to contribute to this important development of Modacom, and with it, to Korea's wireless broadband and IPv6 leadership once again," said Matthew Kim, 6WIND's Country Manager, South Korea. Modacom's Giga-bit routers, u-Road series, which supports IPv4 and IPv6 with QoS, mobility, and security functionalities, are expected to make their appearance this September in Korea's BcN (Broadband Convergence Network) project. 6WINDGate(TM) Software Suites 6WINDGate(TM) software suites provide the fast path to product design for network equipment providers delivering converging multi-services IP gateways meant for SOHO, SME, enterprise and ISP applications or for system integrators providing net-centric vertical applications. Field-proven with a patented software architecture, they incorporate the market's first comprehensive IP-agnostic(a) features for routing, security, QoS, mobility, IPv4-IPv6 transition, device and service management, and have been validated on industry standard hardware reference designs. Unlike a traditional stack approach, the integration of packet processing functions (Data Plane) with signalling protocols (Control Plane) is fully assured. 6WINDGate(TM) is distributed over Linux operating systems and held together by 6WINDGate(TM) XMS (eXtensible Management System) for easy additional software integration and flexible customization of an end product or system. 6WINDGate(TM) runs on single processor architectures (eg. Intel's x86 or IXP4xx, Motorola PowerPC) and is scalable to more powerful distributed fast path processing architectures (eg. Intel's IXP2xxx) to meet higher levels of performance.
