Information technology and computer networking products company Juniper Networks has introduced its Universal Access offering, which supports more mobile calls and transactions with fewer dropped calls, while improving network utilisation and revenue opportunities for service providers.

With the Juniper Networks Universal Access offering, service providers can converge wired and wireless network access to deliver a better subscriber experience while lowering the total cost of operating, maintaining and updating the network infrastructure.

In addition, Universal Access offering converges networks for capital and operational savings, provides optimal flexibility in traffic management and provides an open platform for faster service and third-party interworking.

Juniper Networks ACX Series Universal Access Routers is a family of next-generation access routers that address new network imperatives with up to three times the total throughput of competitive offerings, while creating an end-to-end service delivery platform.

The new Universal Access Routers delivers highest throughput at 60 Gbps and a 10 Gbps capable access router; future-proofs mobile access networks by addressing growing bandwidth needs with migration from 2G to 3G and 4G/LTE.

In addition, it extends operational intelligence and simplicity using MPLS from the network core and edge to the access network and also offers proven and deployed network timing for better network utilisation with support for more calls, fewer dropped calls and more data transported with fewer retransmissions .

The complete Universal Access and Edge offering is powered by Juniper Networks single operating system, Junos, with network management and analysis enabled by Junos Space, which further reduces management expense with rapid problem identification and resolution.

Juniper Networks Ethernet and Aggregation Business Unit senior vice-president and general manager Rami Rahim said with a focus on improving the total subscriber experience and the economic viability of the mobile network, Juniper has prioritised investments in innovations that make extraordinary leaps in service delivery and operator profitability.

"Our new Universal Access solution works hand-in-hand with our innovative Universal Edge to deliver the industry’s first fully integrated end-to-end solution that dramatically improves total service reliability and enables higher revenue generation of the mobile network while lowering total operating costs," said Rahim.
