NEW YORK, USA: Juniper Networks 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 percent;
* Reduce operating expenses for aggregation services up to 47 percent;
* Reduce operating expenses for business services up to 63 percent;
* Reduce operating expenses for residential services up to 77 percent;
* Improve power efficiency by a factor of 10-to-1 versus other vendors.

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. 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 simultaneously.

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.

Randy Nicklas, chief technology officer, XO Communications, said: "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. 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."

Juniper`s MX 3D products are available starting December 2009 and throughout 2010. The MX 3D Aggregation Line Card will be generally available to customers in December 2009, with additional MX 3D products coming throughout 2010.
