Siemens Subscriber Networks announced dual stack IPv4/IPv6 functionality for its tango Access broadband client software for Windows. The end-user software client gives broadband service providers the flexibility to begin deploying IPv6 over their existing Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) infrastructure. Siemens said its dual stack software approach is transparent to subscribers, except that their access to such advanced broadband services as video-on-demand, IP television, video conferencing, voice and video telephony and multiparty online gaming may be enhanced.
The Siemens tango software suite has more than 15 million installations worldwide. The company believes its dual stack architecture for the “Access” module can help to unlock the availability of IPv6 for mass markets. http://www.usa.siemens.com
