BARCELONA--(Marketwire - February 14, 2010) - Juniper Networks® (NYSE: JNPR) today unveiled a
new technology framework with new software and mobility solutions that will
transform the user experience and operator economics of mobile broadband.
The "new network" for mobility is designed to address rapidly changing
customer behaviors and expectations, while dramatically improving total
costs and revenue opportunities for service providers.
Unlike legacy networks that dominate today's mobile landscape, Juniper's
mobility framework is built on open standards and flexible software
platforms that will enable mobile operators to handle a broad range of
devices, applications and customer needs. The framework leverages Juniper's
breakthrough MX 3D Series Universal Edge Routers and SRX Series Services
Gateways, along with innovative Juniper and partner applications, to help
mobile operators deploy truly open and secure mobile networks based on
Junos® software.
As part of today's launch here at GSMA Mobile World Congress, the company
announced:
- Junos Ready Software: A growing portfolio of third-party and
Juniper-developed applications based on the Junos software platform.
Specifically for mobile operators, Juniper is delivering new third-party
applications for mobile video delivery, addressable advertising, service
monitoring, service delivery and security. The new Junos Ready software is
certified and optimized to run on Junos, a cross-network software platform
that enables rich user experiences, revolutionary economics and fast time
to market.
- Junos Pulse for Smartphones - New mobile security software that
closes a significant security gap for enterprises and improves productivity
for mobile employees. Available in Q2 2010 for popular mobile devices,
Junos Pulse is the industry's first downloadable client software that
provides secure connections across smartphones, notebooks and netbooks to a
broad range of corporate applications. Based on the world's most scalable
SSL VPN technology, Junos Pulse delivers world-class security for mobile
services in an integrated, extensible client that enables new service
models for operators.
- Juniper Mobile Secure - A new solution that integrates security
across mobile devices, applications and networks based on Juniper software
and systems. Mobile Secure delivers secure user experiences at
unprecedented scale based on the world's fastest SRX Series Services
Gateways and industry-first Junos Pulse client software, ensuring broad
device support, investment optimization and service enablement.
- Juniper Traffic Direct - A new solution that addresses the
immediate experience and cost challenges caused by exponential growth of
mobile data traffic due to smartphones, netbooks and notebooks. The first
solution from Juniper's "Project Falcon" initiative disclosed last October,
Juniper Traffic Direct optimizes mobile data traffic by combining
intelligent subscriber and application policies with powerful MX 3D Series
scaling to offload bulk data traffic directly to the Internet, resulting in
a better mobile experience. Expected to be available in Q2 2010, Traffic
Direct will help providers reduce network congestion, minimize impact on
their mobile infrastructure, and lower their total cost of ownership.
- Juniper Media Flow - A new solution that optimizes mobile and
fixed networks for fast, efficient video and rich media delivery --
enabling a TV-like experience on smartphones and other mobile devices,
while yielding TCO reductions for mobile operators. Media Flow leverages
advanced software from Juniper partner Ankeena Networks, which enables
smooth adaptive bit streaming for uninterrupted video viewing. Expected to
be available in Q2 2010, Media Flow will include a Juniper VXA Series
content delivery engine and Ankeena software to provide video and content
delivery up to 10Gbps per engine. Combining Traffic Direct and Media Flow
can help operators lower their total cost of ownership by up to 70 percent
according to a study validated by IDC.(1)
- Juniper Mobile Core Evolution - A new solution that will provide
an open and secure mobile packet core to monetize 3G and 4G services on the
same network. Expected to be available for selected customer evaluations in
Q4 2010, Mobile Core Evolution will leverage MX 3D Series routers and Junos
software to deliver 3G and 4G gateway capabilities while accelerating
service innovation and time to market with uncompromised scaling across
bandwidth, subscribers and services. Mobile Core Evolution will enable new
services based on Junos SDK, while offering strong built-in security to
protect subscribers. The solution will fundamentally transform the mobile
packet core to drive costs down, increase revenue opportunities and improve
user experiences on a unified network.
"Mobility is not a box. It's a way of life," said Kim Perdikou, executive
vice president, Office of the CEO, Juniper. "Mobile operators need their
networking vendors to stop building new one-off boxes, band-aids and
bolt-ons to handle mobile data traffic. They need networking vendors with
real innovation that can offer immediate TCO relief, unmatched scale for
the future, built-in security and open platforms to monetize new services.
Mobile broadband is here to stay, and providers will need an open and
secure network to take advantage."
"Juniper is offering a differentiated approach to mobile networking, which
is tackling the issue of traffic congestion in the core at the right time
and in the right part of the network," said Stéphane Téral, principal
analyst, Mobile and FMC Infrastructure at Infonetics Research. "In addition
to providing mobile operators with an evolution path to 4G technologies,
Juniper is addressing today's requirements for scaling, securing and
enabling broadband services for continued revenue growth."
Juniper's Framework for Mobility Solutions delivers an enhanced mobile
broadband experience at breakthrough economics, offering:
- An unprecedented combination of open and secure platforms, enabling
innovation and protection across devices, applications and the
network.
- Breakthrough 3D Scaling that allows service providers to simultaneously
address subscribers, services and bandwidth.
- The highest level of investment protection through a seamless migration
path to 3G and 4G/LTE networks -- no "rip and replace" or "stranded
capital" for existing MX customers.
- Modular service components that enable speed and flexibility in
services revenue generation and deployments.
- Open SDKs that fuel an ecosystem of innovation and enable
reusability.
