Teknovus
and Cavium Networks Collaborate on Development of EPON Home
Gateway
Companies Demonstrate Joint Reference Design for Cost
Efficient and High-performance Triple-Play Gateway at OFC
Conference
PETALUMA, Calif. - March 27, 2007 –
Teknovus, the leading provider of Gigabit Ethernet Passive
Optical Network (G-EPON) chipsets for the deployment of triple
play services in broadband access networks and Cavium Networks,
a leading provider of highly integrated semiconductor processors
that enable intelligent networking, communications and security
applications, today announced the development of an integrated
EPON home gateway. A demo of the joint reference design will
be on display at Teknovus’ booth at the OFC Conference
in Anaheim California, March 27-29, 2007.
The joint Cavium Networks and Teknovus EPON home gateway
reference design provides carrier-class media and management
features and performance by combining Cavium Networks’
OCTEON MIPS64 processor with Teknovus’ EPON ONU chip.
The OCTEON processor with integrated intelligent hardware
acceleration is designed to meet the parameters of the broadband
home, demonstrating 1Gbps performance for NAT and Firewall
with no active fan. Cavium Networks’ OCTEON processors
are being deployed in home gateways with leading service
providers using EPON in Asia. Teknovus’ EPON ONUs
support IPTV and other advanced video services with guaranteed
QoS (Quality of Service).
“Combining Teknovus’ world class chipsets and
software delivering PON access with our OCTEON processors
enables a high performance, low power, and low cost home
gateway to address service provider requirements,”
stated Syed Ali, President and CEO of Cavium Networks. “We
are pleased to offer this compelling solution for the fast
growing broadband infrastructure market jointly with Teknovus.”
“As service providers continue to move up the performance/integration
curve, communications system vendors are seeking a single
box for triple-play with fiber-speed to enable the next
generation home network,” stated Greg Caltabiano,
President & CEO of Teknovus. “Our collaboration
with Cavium Networks using their OCTEON processors delivers
a comprehensive solution for managing and configuring the
EPON connected home”.
“Service providers are looking for ways to reduce
the costs of deploying multi-services without sacrificing
the QoS and security features they need to ensure subscriber
quality of experience," said Jeff Heynen, Directing
Analyst Broadband and IPTV, Infonetics Research. "The
Teknovus/Cavium Networks reference satisfies both demands
and will go a long way in helping EPON providers more comfortably
and cost-consciously roll-out advanced voice, data, and
video services.”
Joint Reference Design and Availability
Cavium Networks OCTEON processors and Teknovus EPON chipsets,
along with software and hardware design collateral, are
available today. A cost optimized, ready-to-build joint
reference design with one EPON WAN connection, four 10/100/1000
Ethernet ports, two analog telephone ports and one Mini-PCI
slot for an 802.11n radio will be available in Q2 2007.
