BroadLight, a fabless chip supplier specialising in silicon for GPONs (Gigabit Passive Optical Networks), has teamed with pay-TV platform developer Jungo to offer a fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) gateway reference platform.
Jungo's OpenRG residential gateway software runs on BroadLight’s BL2348 GPON system-on-chip silicon.
“Fibre networks are gaining momentum worldwide, enabling service providers to increase ARPU with a range of advanced, high-bandwidth digital home services, while at the same time requiring sophisticated CPE in subscribers’ homes,” said Eran Rom, Jungo’s CEO.

The gateway will provide data routing with quality of service (QoS), carrier-class VoIP, IPv6 support and virtual private networks with firewalls.
There are also interfaces for Ethernet, USB and Wi-Fi.
Jungo is a part of the NDS Group, a technology group in which News Corporation, owner of Sky TV, has an interest.
