BANGALORE: Ishoni Networks and Wind River Systems, Inc. have announced a

partnership through which Ishoni will offer customers broadband CPE platform by

packaging Ishoni’s DV2000 Broadband Engine integrated with Wind River’s

VxWorks RTOS.



The partnership permits developers of broadband CPE — including residential
gateways and Integrated Access Devices (IADs) for businesses — to focus their

efforts on those features that provide market differentiation while speeding

their time to market. Under the partnership, Ishoni provides customers with a

60-day evaluation copy of Wind River’s Tornado integrated development

environment (IDE) with Ishoni’s Development Kit platform.

Ishoni chairman and CEO Prakash Bhalerao said, "We have changed the

rules for designing next-generation broadband CPE. Wind River’s lead in the

embedded market gives developers the ability to pair VxWorks with the most

technically advanced broadband CPE platform, which allows them to make more

advanced products, incorporating voice-over-broadband, ideally for DSL, cable,

broadband wireless and optical connections."



"These next-generation devices will act as a hub to connect every device in
the home and the more variety of chipsets we offer, like Ishoni's silicon, the

more we broaden the types of platforms developers can choose when building

gateway devices," said Wind River's Network business unit's group vice

president and general manager, David Fraser.

Ishoni’s VAR relationship with Wind River is part of Ishoni’s recently

announced ‘Lightning Access’ Initiative to give CPE manufacturers more

extensive design tools, software products and OS components for its broadband

engine platform. The ‘Lightning Access’ Initiative will reduce the cost of

broadband CPE, add new features and functionality, and offer a more open and

accessible platform for software developers.
