gogo6 Releases gogoCPE – World’s First v6 Adaptor

MONTREAL (February 4, 2011) – gogo6 inc., the leading provider of IPv6 products, community and services, today announced the release of gogoCPE version 1.0 – a small v6 adaptor for the home that can be installed and providing IPv6 within a minute. Designed to work with, rather than replace home networking equipment, the gogoCPE can be used to deploy IPv6 using IPv4 or to deploy IPv4 using IPv6 – both resulting in a dual-stack home network. Early customers of the gogoCPE include SingTel, Comcast and Globe Telecom.

The gogoCPE is plug ‘n’ play simple and designed to be installed by the end user without any support. The gogoCPE uses the same code as the gogoCLIENT which has reliably provided IPv6 to over 150,000 users of the Freenet6 service.

The gogoCPE supports the most popular transition technologies including TSP, DS-Lite, 6RD, DSTM and L2TP. It is compatible with the gogoSERVER and other manufacturer systems. Its wide technology support allows it to work in any IPv4/v6 network scenario, including:
Providing IPv6 to existing and new customers with IPv4 home routers in an IPv4 network.
Providing IPv4 to new customers with IPv4 home routers in an IPv6 network.
Providing IPv6 to new customers without IPv4 home routers in an IPv4 network.

“Hands down the most difficult part of introducing IPv6 into a broadband network is the home. This is where a majority of the IPv6 costs lie and where service providers have the least control. In a vast majority of the cases the home networking equipment is either not upgradable or owned by the end user making IPv6 synonymous with installing new equipment,” said Bruce Sinclair, gogo6 CEO. “The recent depletion of IPv4 addresses from the IANA pool increases the pressure on service providers to find a simple yet effective solution to offer v6 and v4 by way of v6. Service providers can quickly introduce IPv6 into their networks with a single 1U gogoSERVER and one gogoCPE per home.”

Availability and pricing
The gogoCPE is available today after being tested by service providers around the world. In addition to being sold in volume individual gogoCPEs are available on the gogo6 website. These units are preconfigured to work with Freenet6 making them plug ‘n’ play ready out of the box. Individual units cost $99 plus shipping and handling. Volume pricing is lower.

The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory in July conducted the first trial of the U.S. federal government’s new IPv6 test suite on equipment from 10 leading network vendors, including Cisco, Juniper, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and Sun.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is launching a new IPv6 compliance testing program called USGv6 Test Program. All routers, hosts and network security systems must pass the USGv6 Test Program by July 2010 in order to be sold to U.S. federal agencies.

Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: JNPR), the leader in high-performance networking, today announced new features on the E Series Broadband Service Router. Newly introduced features for the E Series include an advanced line module for the E320 Broadband Services Router and multiple IPv6 features that enhance existing service delivery capabilities.

The new IPv6 features for the E Series help promote seamless scaling with IPv6 support for dynamic subscriber interfaces, in-service software upgrades and DHCPv6 local pools for dynamic IPv6 address assignment over Ethernet. These new features work in conjunction with a broad set of currently supported IPv6 Broadband Service Routing features, including a unique ‘dual-stack’ IPv6 and IPv4 capability, which facilitates increased investment protection migration to new, advanced revenue-generating services.

Paris, August 4, 2009 – Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) today announced that NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) has deployed Alcatel-Lucent’s service router solution as the base for its Internet Protocol (IP) Virtual Private Network (VPN) service, which now supports both IPv4 and next generation IPv6 protocols (*IPv4/IPv6 dual stack) for enterprise users. Offered as an option for its Arcstarâ„¢ IP-VPN service, this is the country’s first commercial IPv6 compatible IP VPN service based on Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS).

The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router (SR) was first deployed in 2007 to support NTT Com’s IP-VPN IPv4-based service, where its reliability and flexibility were put to the test by the high demands of NTT Com’s enterprise customers. Now, with IPv4 addresses approaching exhaustion, NTT Com again chose Alcatel-Lucent to upgrade its network to allow both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic to be used on a single network, offering a smooth, relatively low-cost IPv6 migration for its enterprise customers.
