SANTA CLARA, CA and BOXBOROUGH, MA – June 24, 2008 – Today at CONNECTIONS: The Digital Living Conference and Showcase, hosted by international research firm Parks Associates in partnership with the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), Allegro announced the launch of RomPlug WMDRM and RomPlug DTCP embedded Internet development toolkits. The toolkits offer OEMs the ability to easily integrate UPnP&trade /DLNA® link protection technology for protected digital media file streaming into their embedded designs. Allegro, a leader in the embedded Internet connectivity and UPnP/DLNA markets, offers field proven networking software shipping in 35+ million devices worldwide. Worldwide leading manufacturers of telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, medical equipment, automotive and aircraft all rely on Allegro technology to deliver advanced and robust networking connectivity everyday. RomPlug WMDRM and RomPlug DTCP are available to early access customers now with commercial release in Q4 2008.

The RomPlug WMDRM and RomPlug DTCP development toolkits offer design engineers a comprehensive solution for incorporating the only UPnP/DLNA approved link protection technologies into their embedded consumer device platforms. The toolkits offer the following capabilities:

      • Support for WMDRM-ND Receivers built for use in embedded systems;
      • DTCP-IP Source and Sink services including Full Authentication with a configuration option for crypto offloading;
      • Extensive integration with the RomPlug® UPnP/DLNA core and application toolkits;
      • Highly portable technology across processor, OS and TCP/IP stack implementations;
      • Highly efficient embedded resource utilization.

Secure Connectivity with Consumer Devices
When commercial content is made available for consumer devices, it must be protected from unauthorized copying and use. Consumers now expect the capability to store, transfer and use their purchased content on any device at any location connected to their wired or wireless home networks. WMDRM-ND and DTCP-IP provide key capabilities that enable a standards based solution for approved link protection between a home network digital media server and consumer devices. “We are excited to expand our UPnP/DLNA products with the addition of protected digital media file streaming capabilities for our customers” said Robert Van Andel, CEO and President of Allegro. “RomPlug WMDRM and RomPlug DTCP deliver unprecedented capabilities for embedded engineers to incorporate link protection within their UPnP/DLNA based consumer designs”.

Worldwide leading manufactures of telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, medical equipment, automotive and aircraft all rely on Allegro technology to deliver advanced and robust networking connectivity everyday. RomXoap is available now in Beta and will be featured at Allegro&rsquos exhibit at the Embedded Systems Conference, San Jose, booth #3030, April 14-18, 2008.

SOAP is the unifying technology for integration of heterogeneous systems across the enterprise. Built upon structured standards based technology, a broad foundation of commercial SOAP development platforms are available and routinely demonstrate interoperability in heterogeneous environments. More importantly, enterprise development teams are well versed in developing and deploying SOAP applications across the enterprise. Enterprise organizations have fully embraced the technology and specifically built support and training programs into their staffing and continued education resources.

Allegro’s RomXoap Internet development toolkit offers embedded design engineers a comprehensive solution for building SOAP based connectivity between embedded systems and deployed enterprise applications.  OEMs and ODMs can now offer their customers unprecedented interaction with their deployed embedded products using SOAP.  Allegro’s RomXoap toolkit offers many capabilities for embedded design teams to use:

      • Support for SOAP 1.1 and 1.2;
      • An automated tool for converting Web Services Description Language (WSDL) definitions into an easy to use framework for embedded applications (SoapBuilder™);
      • Integrated security options for embedded client and server applications;
      • Highly portable technology across processor, OS and TCP/IP stack implementations;
      • Highly efficient embedded resource utilization.

“Integrating deployed embedded systems into an enterprise environment has always been an issue” said Robert Van Andel, CEO and President of Allegro.  “With the availability of our RomXoap development toolkit, OEMs/ODMs can to advantage of SOAP technology in their embedded designs with full enterprise acceptance and dedicated resources already in place for support”.

Allegro Releases RomPager® 4.6 Comprehensive Embedded Internet Connectivity Suite
Powerful embedded connectivity products, including UPnP™/DLNA™, Device Management and Web Server
SAN JOSE, CA and BOXBOROUGH, MA – April 3, 2007

 

SAN JOSE, CA and BOXBOROUGH, MA – April 3, 2007 – Today at the Embedded Systems Conference Allegro announced the launch of RomPager 4.6 embedded Internet connectivity software suite, offering OEMs the ability to easily integrate next-generation connectivity features into their devices. Allegro, a leader in the embedded Internet connectivity and UPnP/DLNA spaces, offers connectivity software used in devices ranging from the Microsoft® Xbox 360 to Cisco IP-based phones and gateways. RomPager 4.6 is available immediately, and will be part of Allegro’s exhibit at the Embedded Systems Conference, San Jose, booth #3033, April 3-6, 2007.

The RomPager 4.6 Product Suite offers design engineers a comprehensive solution for enabling embedded devices with Internet standards-based software. Using the RomPager Product Suite, design engineers can easily incorporate the following functionalities into their embedded devices:

  • Web Server, offering a powerful and compelling interface as well as a host of security features;
  • Web Client, empowering embedded devices to query a remote server to check for updates, with a host of security features;
  • XML, enabling embedded devices to exchange data using XML with other web servers;
  • POP/SMTP, for sending and receiving emails with attachments;
  • UPnP/DLNA, to leverage a wealth of software built upon standards-based protocols for consumer electronics devices;
  • CLI, for Cisco IOS-style device management;
  • Simple network time protocol (SNTP), to ensure synchronization;
  • Radius, enabling software engineers to easily build authentication capabilities into their devices.
Solving a Growing Challenge
Currently, numerous design engineers must build their own Internet communications functionality over the operating system and TCP/IP stack they have chosen. This is becoming a more challenging task as devices must include increasingly complex and user-friendly communications capabilities in compressed delivery schedules.

“Over 10 million Cisco IP-based phones and gateways rely on Allegro software,” said Robert Van Andel, CEO and President of Allegro. “Each phone boasts a Web server, Web client and XML parser/framer which facilitates interaction with the Internet. This is just one example of the functionality Allegro enables in the new world of connected devices.”
