Juniper Networks Launches Universal Edge Routers with Uncompromised "3D Scaling"

MX 3D Products Scale On the Fly Across Bandwidth, Subscribers and Services;
Deliver Universal Edge for Business, Residential and Mobile Services

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR) today announced new networking systems with
revolutionary 3D Scaling technology that helps networks scale dynamically to
support more bandwidth, subscribers and services - all at the same time.

Fueled by the Junos Trio chipset and Junos operating system, the new Juniper`s
MX 3D products directly address enterprise and service provider needs for more
flexible technology and business models, providing them with "universal edge"
routing for business, residential and mobile services at massive scale on a
single network. The products include new modular line cards, new applications
and new metro aggregation routers for Juniper`s MX Series. Together, they will
offer unprecedented dynamic control, extensive applications and revolutionary
economics validated through a commissioned study conducted by an independent
third party:

* Increase ROI over five years by up to 540 percenti;
* Reduce operating expenses for aggregation services up to 47 percentii;
* Reduce operating expenses for business services up to 63 percentiii;
* Reduce operating expenses for residential services up to 77 percentiv;
* Improve power efficiency by a factor of 10-to-1 versus other vendorsv.

From a performance standpoint, the new line cards and routers process two to
four times more traffic than the competition - up to 2.6 terabits per second -
while using half as much power per gigabit.vi For subscribers, this means the
flagship MX960 system with 3D Scaling enables fast access to download 8.5
million iTunes in one tenth of a second, 50 Blu-Ray DVDs in less than five
seconds, 10 years of Hubble Telescope data in one minute or more than 430,000
HDTV channels simultaneouslyvii.

"Juniper consistently delivers innovative technologies and solutions that enable
service providers to offer a wide range of services to their customer base,"
said Dr. Ray Mota, chief strategist for Synergy ACG. "With today`s announcement
of its universal edge routers, Juniper takes this approach a step further by
providing an offering that is not only compelling from a technical perspective,
but also from a financial perspective. This offering allows services providers
to extract maximum value from their most strategic asset - their network."

"3D Scaling is one of those rare technology breakthroughs that can change
business models," said Kim Perdikou, executive vice president and general
manager of Juniper`s Infrastructure Products Group. "Our customers no longer
have to look into their crystal balls, guess which applications are going to be
popular 18 months from now, and hard-code their networks in advance for a finite
set of user requirements. Juniper`s MX 3D routers give them total flexibility
across bandwidth, subscriber and service requirements, allowing them to
essentially re-mix the network on the fly to meet changing user demands."

Built for edge and aggregation networks, the new MX 3D products announced today
include:

* New modular line cards based on Junos Trio, which easily plug into new or
existing MX routers, providing support for business, residential and mobile edge
services that can be turned on dynamically via the Junos operating system. The
line cards include:

* MX 3D Aggregation Line Card: The industry`s first 120 Gbps card with highest
10GE density for aggregation, video distribution, data center and edge routing.
* MX 3D Universal Edge Line Card: Dramatic experience improvement and
pay-as-you-grow economics based on a flexible GE / 10GE configuration.
* MX 3D 100GbE Line Card: The industry`s only edge routing with line-rate 100GbE
performance for edge uplink, inter-data center and high-bandwidth aggregation.

* Two new MX80 Series 3D routers: The industry`s most powerful 3.5-inch routers
(eight times faster than competitors) designed for delivering Carrier Ethernet
services for multi-tenant buildings, as well as mobile aggregation, video and
enterprise edge deployments.
* Two new third-party applications being developed on the Junos operating system
and Juniper`s MX Series: an Active Broadband Networks application for monitoring
cable bandwidth and usage to improve cable subscriber experiences; and an
Ankeena Networks application for video streaming and caching to enable low-cost,
TV-like viewing.

"As a leading nationwide provider of advanced communications and networking
solutions for businesses and service providers, the XO network is one of our key
differentiators," said Randy Nicklas, chief technology officer at XO
Communications. "Juniper`s MX Series and Junos software play an important part
in this differentiation - enabling us to provide a superior experience for our
customers, while ensuring long-term investment protection."
