Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices (SHC), a leading
manufacturer of broadband routers as well as DECT and IP phones, and
Jungo Ltd., a leading provider of broadband value-added service
solutions are joining forces to supply network owners and internet
service providers with next-generation advanced-service-gateways.
Siemens' advanced Gigaset Gateways powered by Jungo's OpenRG TM
software platform will enable service providers to offer their
customers new services and home entertainment applications, such as
internet protocol television (IPTV) and video on demand (VOD).
Munich, January 7, 2008
The strategic cooperation between SHC and Jungo leverages the strength of
best-of-breed software with a global manufacturer and brand, to open up the
opportunity for service providers to offer new innovative services with
substantially lower operating costs. The introduction of the advanced joint
solution decreases maintenance costs and reduces the development time for new
applications. This results in a quicker and easier roll-out of services such as
IPTV and VOD.
Through the introduction of new services, providers can generate revenues,
enhance customer retention and differentiate from the competition. End-users
benefit as well from new additional services tailored to their needs, additional
security features and a very easy, self-activation process, using simple new
Plug and Play technology.
Jungo's OpenRG software supports all common home and access networks;
enabling a home network to include DSL and cable internet, advanced telephony,
fixed mobile convergence (FMC) and home storage. Siemens Gateways based on
Jungo's OpenRG residential gateway software enable operators to supply
additional applications and services such as high-quality Voice over IP, data
security services, video services and remote management. All features and
functions are available on a single, open, scalable and ready-to-use platform.
The platform can be configured and upgraded remotely. It can also be easily
adapted by the service provider to suit the individual needs of various customer
groups.
"The need for bandwidth is constantly growing," explained Dr.
Jochen Eickholt, CEO, SHC. "The demand for moving pictures from the
internet is increasing video portals and services, online gaming and IPTV are
all becoming more and more popular and all this can be available only by using
state of the art software. Thanks to our partnership with Jungo, Siemens Gigaset
now offers a sophisticated, cost-effective, sustainable solution, thereby
allowing operators to react flexibly to the growing expectations of their
customers."
"Combining Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices" global
brand, manufacturing abilities, and product capabilities with Jungo's proven
software products results in market-leading residential gateways for broadband
operators", said Eran Rom, CEO, Jungo. "SHC has many years of experience,
first-class hardware and superior design at its disposal the ideal basis for
Jungo to deliver our know-how and innovative gateway software solutions."
