ishoni, Copper Mountain in VoDSL tie-up

BANGALORE: Bangalore-based ishoni Networks has announced that its broadband

engine will incorporate voice-over-digital-subscriber-line (VoDSL) technology

from Copper Mountain Networks, Inc. The agreement ensures that products that

feature the ishoni broadband engine, including its silicon Gateway-on-a-Chip,

are fully interoperable with Copper Mountain’s CopperEdge and OnPrem DSL

concentrators.

ishoni Networks is the only company to combine onto a single chip the

software and silicon for voice and data networking with a security encryption

engine that enables secure remote virtual private network (VPN) connections. The

Gateway-on-a-Chip also features a FlexibleWAN Engine that supports multiple

broadband technologies. The software that drives the FlexibleWAN Engine conforms

to process multiple protocol solutions, making it an optimal platform for VoDSL

interoperability.

ishoni’s relationship with Copper Mountain Networks is part of its ‘TotalDSL’

initiative to achieve PHY, Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM)

and VoDSL interoperability with the respective leaders in each DSL market

segments. As a result, OEMs will be able to build an IAD for any type of DSL

connection using the same ishoni Gateway-on-a-Chip in every device. ishoni is

also participating in Copper Mountain Networks’ CopperSilicon initiative. The

agreement will allow OEMs to build completely functional broadband gateways and

Internet Application Drivers (IAD) that offer businesses the voice, data and

security functions they demand, including multiple voice-over-broadband phone

lines and embedded security features.

"ishoni has the most complete system-on-a-chip, customer gateway in the

market, and we’re positioned to deliver secure voice and data networking on a

new, unprecedented scale by supporting Copper Mountain’s end-to-end

solutions," said ishoni Networks president William Lee.

"Interoperability with Copper Mountain’s technology allows ishoni to

provide a complete, cost-effective gateway solution for the new Internet."

ishoni Networks builds broadband engines for the new Internet, which allow

customers to use always-on broadband connections for all their voice and

data-networking services. ishoni Networks is building infrastructure to support

new applications for these broadband networks.
