JUNIPER NETWORKS INTRODUCES NEW SILICON TO PROVIDE UNSURPASSED CAPACITY AND SPEED WITH A SEAMLESS UPGRADE PATH TO MASSIVE SCALE

Telecommunications carriers are starting to make firm plans to upgrade most of their wireless and wireline core networks to 100Gbps from this year. The battle to move the goalposts for core routers is heating up, with Juniper Networks targeting high end telco and cellco deployments with the latest extension to its T-Series architecture - which will deliver a full duplex slot capacity of 250Gbps, and may beat other vendors to market in the race to ease the migration from 10Gbps to 100Gbps IP cores. Trials with products using a new 45-nanometer chipset fabricated inhouse by Juniper, will eventually support total capacity of 4Tbps in one half-rack system, and products should ship early next year. (Cisco has not yet formally announced any updates to its carrier core router line, but is expected to do so).
