Lantiq's XWAY™ xDSL and network processor Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) and UGW software suite received the "IPv6 CE Ready" designation after successful tests at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL). This assures that manufacturers of home routers/gateways are enabled to develop future-ready solutions based on Lantiq chips and software.   

Comprehensive Home Gateway Solution

Evolution to a next-generation Internet based on the IPv6 protocol is required to provide unique IP addresses for all devices operating on the worldwide network. For equipment manufacturers, support for the extended addressing scheme requires both SoC-level and firmware/software innovation. Lantiq is among the first communications SoC suppliers to provide this support in its broadband access products.

• IPv6 certification testing was conducted on Lantiq's portfolio of dedicated ADSL2/2+, VDSL2 and Gigabit Ethernet SoCs to ensure that customer premises router/gateway can be enabled to support IPv6 connectivity to the Internet
• The broad range of WAN interfaces supported by Lantiq SoCs assures equipment manufacturers of flexibility to support worldwide access standards
• The complete Lantiq portfolio for on-premises networking, including Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi™ and G.hn compliant products, supports a very modular system approach to maximize development reusability and achieve optimized system cost.
