| The Need for
Sophisticated RGs |
|
Today, with the increase in IP connected devices in
every home, a variety of applications such as IPTV,
media streaming, video-on-demand, remote security
surveillance, online gaming, peer-to-peer and social
networking have to be supported by SP-deployed devices.
In fact, these may frequently form an integral part of
the SP’s offerings. At the heart of this IP “home area
network” is usually a wired/wireless router that is
deployed and managed by the SP. With highspeed delivery
of rich content now proliferating, SP-provisioned CPE
gateways have grown more sophisticated and are no longer
just traditional Wi-Fi/NAT/routers, but pack
capabilities like media storage / sharing, control of
other DLNA and VoIP devices in the home, home automation
and security/lighting control – and even have the
ability to load SP and third-party apps for subscription
or other services. These intelligent CPE devices demand
iron-clad security, rock-solid stability, high
performance and smart management of bandwidth through
advanced QoS techniques. TeamF1’s SecureF1rst CGS offers
all of these (and more), enabling SPs to offer
leading-edge services to their
customers, with faster time-to-revenue, lower R&D costs
and lower risk. |
