[September 11, 2009] BroadLight and Jungo Partner to Develop GPON Residential Gateway Reference Platform Tweet Sep 11, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- BroadLight, a supplier of GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) semiconductors, and Jungo, an NDS Group company and a provider of software solutions for residential gateways, announced that the two companies have integrated Jungo's OpenRG residential gateway software with BroadLight's BL2348 GPON System-on-Chip. This new GPON gateway reference platform enables service providers to offer their customers high-speed broadband access and digital home services over fiber networks. The GPON residential gateway platform from Jungo and Broadlight offers data routing with quality of service (QoS), carrier-class VoIP, IPv6 support, and virtual private networks with firewalls. The platform also provides support for multiple local area network (LAN) technologies, including Ethernet, USB and WiFi. The BL2348 integrated network processor (NP) combined with the OpenRG middleware's open, modular architecture gives gateway manufacturers and service providers flexibility for bringing customized products to the market. "Our collaboration with Jungo has produced a versatile platform for the rapid development of residential gateways, connecting the high-speed digital home to FTTH services," said Doron Tal, VP Business Development and Product Management of BroadLight. "Combining the flexibility and performance of the BL2348 SoC with Jungo's field-proven OpenRG gateway middleware enables us to deliver a complete, ready-to-deploy GPON gateway platform for service providers."
