Event Summary
May 20, 2008 -- Jungo, an NDS group company that provides broadband residential gateway solutions, announced that it has integrated its OpenRG residential gateway and OpenSMB small and medium business gateway middleware platforms with DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem chipsets from Texas Instruments. The joint solution will enable cable equipment vendors to introduce residential and business gateways more rapidly, while providing cable operators with enhanced performance and management capabilities in their subscribers’ homes.
Analytical Summary
• Current Perspective: Slightly positive on Jungo using the Cable Show to announce the availability of its joint solution with Texas Instruments that delivers DOCSIS 3.0-compliant residential gateway (RG) platforms, because it enables Jungo to leverage the DOCSIS 3.0 marketing momentum at the NCTA show to gain wide visibility among potential cable equipment vendors and cable operator customers for its OpenRG and OpenSMB residential gateway middleware and Support Cost Reduction (SCR) offering.
• Vendor Importance: Moderate to high to Jungo, as the announcement demonstrates that the company continues to follow up on its RG roadmap, with chipset integrations that promise to accelerate cable equipment vendor time-to-market as well as cable operator time-to-revenue.
• Market Impact: Moderate on the overall digital media infrastructure market because, although Jungo has clinched important integration partners, such as Texas Instruments (as well as Siemens Home & Office Communications in January 2008), the overall residential gateway market is fragmented, making it difficult for any one company to effectively build a dominant position, or pose an overwhelming threat to rivals. Thus, while the joint solution demonstrates both technical and marketing leadership in the DOCSIS 3.0-based RG market, the overall impact is somewhat muted given that the announcement lacked a customer endorsement that would prompt rivals to respond competitively.
