Santa Clara, CA — (press release excerpt) — IDT (Integrated Device Technology, Inc.) and Jungo Software Technologies, Inc. today announced the availability of a jointly developed platform for wireless LAN, and SOHO and residential gateways. The platform is based on the combination of Jungo's OpenRG Linux-based software stack and IDT's RC32334 integrated communications processor.

Jungo's OpenRG product features a complete set of software drivers, protocols and system management software, and supports IDT's RC32334 processor-powered 79S334J evaluation board.

The RC32334 integrated communications processor incorporates a 150-MHz 32-bit MIPS instruction set architecture (ISA) CPU core, an SDRAM memory controller and a PCI bridge to facilitate the development of flexible, cost-sensitive PCI-enabled platforms. The presence of a PCI bus allows developers to leverage the PC infrastructure supporting this standard, including networking and storage peripherals.

Jungo's OpenRG software is a specialized Linux-based operating system that enables OEMs to bring broadband CPE, such as residential gateways, SOHO gateways and IADs to market quickly. The software infrastructure features highly integrated applications and services such as network security via a stateful inspection firewall, Internet Sharing, VPN support, and `plug and play' home networking that includes HomePNA, wireless LAN 802.11b and Bluetooth. The OpenRG software also contains remote upgrading capabilities and ATM (PPPoA, PPPoE, bridged/routed Ethernet over ATM) and TCP/IP protocol stacks.
