Juniper Networks Introduces New Universal Access Solution

Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), the industry leader in network innovation, today introduced its Universal Access solution that is designed to support more mobile calls and transactions with fewer dropped calls, while also improving network utilization and revenue opportunities for service providers.

With residential, business and mobile networks traditionally relying on separate access points, the Juniper Networks® Universal Access solution uniquely enables service providers to converge wired and wireless network access to deliver a superior subscriber experience while lowering the total cost of operating, maintaining and updating the network infrastructure.

More than one billion active mobile broadband subscribers worldwide are using bandwidth-intensive applications like cloud computing and video telephony, placing significant demands on network reliability and profitability. Juniper Networks ACX Series Universal Access Routers is a family of next-generation access routers that addresses these new network imperatives with up to three times the total throughput of competitive solutions, while creating a seamless end-to-end service delivery platform that can grow and adapt to changing subscriber expectations and traffic demands.

Extending the benefits of the Juniper Networks Universal Edge solution, Universal Access converges networks for capital and operational savings, provides optimal flexibility in traffic management to keep up with dynamic subscriber requirements, and provides an open platform for faster service innovation and third-party interworking.

Highlights of Juniper Networks Universal Access Routers:

• Unlocks greater revenue potential of networks with the industry's first fully integrated end-to-end solution for mobile access networks, as well as residential and business networks
• Industry's highest throughput at 60 Gbps and industry's only 10 Gbps capable access router; future-proofs mobile access networks by addressing growing bandwidth needs with seamless migration from 2G to 3G and 4G/LTE
• Extends operational intelligence and simplicity using seamless MPLS from the network core and edge to the access network
• Proven and deployed network timing for better network utilization with support for more calls, fewer dropped calls and more data transported with fewer retransmissions
• Environmentally hardened with passive cooling to provide high reliability with no moving parts
• The complete Universal Access and Edge solution is powered by Juniper Networks' single operating system, Junos®, with network management and analysis enabled by Junos Space®, which further reduces management expense with rapid problem identification and resolution
• Open, standards-based management system with SDK-enabled programmability, allowing better interoperability with radio vendors and a broader suite of tools and solutions for network insight and control
