Santa Clara, CA — (press release excerpt) — IDT (Integrated Device Technology, Inc.) and Jungo Software Technologies, Inc. today announced the availability of two reference designs that deliver cost-effective, innovative system solutions, accelerating time to market for makers of asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) residential and small office/home office (SOHO) gateways.

Jungo's OpenRG embedded software is optimized for IDT's RC32355 integrated communications processor, delivering a feature-rich platform that incorporates advanced system management functions to simplify the installation, management and network configuration functions associated with gateway products.

To address the variety of ADSL systems currently being deployed, IDT developed two reference designs, the 79RP351, a data-only ADSL modem optimized for system cost, and the 79RP355, a more fully-featured design for gateways and integrated access devices (IADs). Jungo's OpenRG software is ported to both platforms and is highly scalable, allowing the software to address the unique requirements of specific end system configurations.

The availability of Jungo's OpenRG software improves overall time to market by offering equipment manufacturers a one-stop shop for a comprehensive software package featuring network security, Internet sharing, system management, virtual private networks (VPNs), and plug-and-play home networking technology. Additionally, since the OpenRG software platform is based on a Linux operating system, customers are able to leverage broadly available industry applications, software modules or internally-developed applications that connect seamlessly to the standard environment.

The IDT RC32355 Integrated Communications Processor integrates ATM, Ethernet, USB and telephony interfaces with a high-performance microprocessor core, while maintaining concurrent wire speed on all interfaces and offering increased flexibility to meet the emerging system requirements of the CPE market. Furthermore, the high-performance CPU core provides a platform capable of delivering value-added capabilities and services for differentiating the end product, reducing overall system cost and improving time to market. Additional information about the RC32355 can be found on IDT's website.
