Wipro to provide Home Gateway solution for Intel Net Processor

Wipro Technologies announced a Home Gateway software solution optimized for and integrated with Intel's IXP425 network processor. The Wipro Home Gateway middleware solution could be used in a home CPE for sharing a broadband Internet connection, home files and device sharing, in-home wireless LAN connectivity, IP Telephony (VoIP), VPN connectivity, video on demand, and for home security and home video surveillance applications. Wipro is also working on multimedia streaming capabilities that would let home users enjoy music or video files on various devices throughout the home. For instance, video files stored on a PC might be wirelessly streamed to a TV set in another room. The multimedia streaming capabilities would be supported by industry standard quality of service mechanisms in the home gateway. The Wipro Home Gateway software, currently ported to the Intel IXP425 network processor platform, is in line with Wipro's strategy to make available its Home Gateway middleware over multiple silicon platforms, including those from Motorola, Toshiba, IDT and others. Wipro also plans to support the newly announced Intel IXP420, Intel IXP421 and Intel IXP422 network processors, offering OEM solutions for DSL routers, CableHome gateways, IADs, wireless access points and Home and SOHO gateways.
