Consolidated IP Platform Enables the Delivery of a Multitude of
Value-added Services to Consumers without Compromise
Juniper
Networks (NYSE:JNPR), the industry leader in network innovation, and Telefónica,
a leading service provider with more than 329 million customers
worldwide, today announced that Telefónica Spain has selected Juniper
Networks® MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers to build a
next-generation Metro network across Spain. The new network will deliver
fixed and mobile broadband services, including high-speed TV for
residential users, as well as cloud services for businesses, all from a
single IP network.
As a global telecoms leader, Telefónica continuously invests in new
technology to provide its customers with world-class services. As
Telefónica looked to the future, it recognized the need for a scalable,
streamlined and highly automated network that could enable rapid service
delivery and tailored customer experiences at a competitive price.
After a comprehensive search, Telefónica selected the Juniper Networks
MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router portfolio to consolidate its
wholesale, residential and business services onto a single end-to-end IP
infrastructure. Powered by the programmable Junos® Trio chipset and Junos
operating system, the SDN-ready MX Series scales up to 80Tbps of
system capacity, providing Telefonica with investment-protecting
performance and the density to meet surging bandwidth and service
demands of its customers over the long term.
Telefónica’s new network will enable superior capacity and performance
for video capabilities, including multicast IPTV, network DVR, catch-up
services, fixed and mobile broadband and voice, and Layer 2 and Layer 3
business VPN, as well as provide agility and flexibility to create and
launch new services. Juniper was also selected for its strong NFV and
SDN capabilities, which will help Telefónica efficiently meet evolving
customer demands.
