LOD, Israel, October 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Ethernity Networks (AIM: ENET.L), a leading innovator of network
processing technology and products, announced today that it has
signed a contract to supply its ENET Switch and Traffic Manager
firmware for a North American tier 1 telecommunications OEM.
Ethernity has completed the integration of its firmware on the
equipment manufacturer's existing fibre-to-the-home optical
networking platform for advanced broadband services with
4K video.
The contract represents significant short-term revenue for
Ethernity and, given the popularity of the platform and the size of
the OEM, is expected to generate generous ongoing future royalty
streams. Further, the parties have already engaged in discussions
to apply Ethernity's ENET firmware and software to the customer's
broadband switch and router platforms, which, if successfully
concluded, would add significantly to the ongoing royalty
stream.
The ENET solution was customized to fit the customer's existing
OLT platform in addition to Ethernity's core functionality
including hierarchical traffic management, switching, and access
control list (ACL). Ethernity's patented technology reduced the
required die size resulting in a 50% reduction in consumed space
within the FPGA and leaving room for greater networking
functionality. It is anticipated that future developments, in
tandem with the OEM, will integrate additional features of the ENET
library to meet future customer requirements, including router,
tunnelling protocols, IPSec, bonding, and fragmentation.
"We are very pleased to have successfully concluded this
agreement with a tier 1 OEM, and we believe this will be the first
of many similar agreements with customers in the future," said
Ethernity's CEO David Levi. "This
supply contract confirms that our extensive networking
functionality offers tremendous value to the market and is an
example of how we can build strong partnerships with industry
leaders."
"The decline in the development and availability of network
processors on ASICs for this market makes porting Ethernity's
firmware onto FPGA extremely attractive to tier 1 vendors, who can
now purchase FPGAs for the price of ASICs," said Rob O'Hara, Ethernity's Vice President of
International Sales. "Moreover, our proven ability to customize our
solution to fit existing customer hardware results in a much
shorter time-to-market for the OEM."
