SoftAtHome, Lantiq Team on Home Gateways

NANTERRE, France -- SoftAtHome, a software provider of home operating platforms that help service providers deliver convergent applications to the digital home, and Lantiq, a leading supplier of broadband access and home networking technologies, announced today that they are collaborating to deliver an integrated platform for advanced Home Gateways (HGW).

Together, SoftAtHome and Lantiq created a ChipSet Support Package (CSSP) that enables SoftAtHome Operating Platform (SOP) to rapidly be deployed on the latest Lantiq XWAY XRX-100 family generation. The CSSP represents a set of drivers adapted to the SoftAtHome Hardware Abstraction Layer and will be made available to Lantiq’s licensees providing home gateways to service providers worldwide. It enables home gateway manufacturers to accelerate porting of SOP on their devices. Service providers can thus accelerate time-to-market for delivering advanced triple-play and digital home services to their residential customers.

The SoftAtHome Operating Platform is an open, ubiquitous and carrier-class software platform. Key features of the integrated platform include advanced voice services; DLNA media server capabilities that enable consumers to use, share and enjoy digital photos, music and videos across multiple devices; green services; network attached storage (NAS) functions; and IPTV and Web services support for convergent applications. In addition, the platform supports third-party developed software solutions, such as Wi-Fi scheduling, parental control or remote personal video recorder scheduling.
