TRUFFLE provides this high speed bonded link access to the Internet by optimizing the use of available connection resources without requiring coordination with the ISPs or any changes to the local network. Dissimilar types of broadband access can be combined in any manner resulting in greater connection speeds even for an individual file download and higher reliability due to the redundancy of the connected links. If one or more of the bonded links fails or is degraded, TRUFFLE transparently spreads the traffic across the remaining links in real-time without any interruptions. Connections can be scaled as needed without requiring the network to be taken off-line.

The Ethernet-based solution easily installs between the broadband modems and the local network at the customer’s premises without requiring any configuration changes to the existing network. TRUFFLE includes an internal router and firewall capability that can be enabled by the user as needed. Other Internet services such as port-forwarding, static IP, dynamic IP, PPPoE, DHCP, DMZ, UPnP and Dynamic DNS are all supported by Mushroom Networks’ TRUFFLE product.

“Our patent pending bonding technology allows local networks to mix and match various broadband access methods for higher throughput capacity and redundancy while scaling resources based on immediate needs,” said Dr. Cahit Akin, co-founder and CEO of Mushroom Networks. “LEC’s and Internet service providers can also capitalize by cost effectively bundling the reliability of T1 and speeds of DSL or cable together in a single service.”

The TRUFFLE BBNA6401 is now shipping with a list price of $2,995. Mushroom Networks is also marketing to value added resellers, IT sales representatives, and broadband service providers who would like to offer broadband bonding capabilities to their customers.
