Jungo Launches Middleware for Cable Operators

Jungo, a provider of broadband residential gateway software, has launched its OpenRG residential gateway middleware and OpenSMB small and medium business gateway middleware, through an integration with the Texas Instruments Puma 5 family of DOCSIS 3.0-based cable modem chipsets.

The Puma 5 family is a Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (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.

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 featurerich 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.
