Bangalore: Juniper Networks 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.
On the launch, Animesh Sahay, Head - Telecom Business, India & SAARC, Juniper Networks said, "Mobility is not a box. Its a way of life. 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."
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 Junipers 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, Junos Pulse for Smartphones, Juniper Mobile Secure, Juniper Traffic Direct, Juniper Media Flow and Juniper Mobile Core Evolution. "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. In addition to providing mobile operators with an evolution path to 4G technologies, Juniper is addressing todays requirements for scaling, securing and enabling broadband services for continued revenue growth," said Stéphane Téral, principal analyst, Mobile and FMC Infrastructure at Infonetics Research.
