LSI and Aricent extends their collaboration to next-generation wireless/wireline networks

LSI and Aricent currently offering pre-integrated software stacks for multi-service business gateways that run on LSI APP communications processors and have co-developed broadband networking software with IPv6 capabilities, and now they are extending their collaboration to wireless and additional wireline infrastructure applications.

"Aricent is a global innovation, technology and services company with a goal of providing OEMs with comprehensive software frameworks and engineering services, which ultimately reduce development risk and costs, while speeding time to market of wireless and wireline infrastructure solutions," said C.P Murali, senior vice president, OEM BU at Aricent. "Our laser focus clearly differentiates us as a truly unique supplier, co-creating together with our customers the world's most innovative communications products and services."

"Demand for next-generation rich media services continues to escalate, and the pace of innovation is causing product development intervals to shrink," said Charlie Kawwas, vice president of marketing, Networking Components Division, LSI. "A key element of our strategy is to partner with global providers like Aricent who can provide standard products and custom software services so OEMs can rapidly develop next-generation solutions at significantly lower cost."
