Juniper Delivers Compact CMTS

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Juniper Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: JNPR - News), a leading provider of trusted infrastructures for the New Public Network, today announced the latest addition to the G-series line of high performance cable modem termination systems (CMTSs), the G1 CMTS. Offering the highest bandwidth and Radio Frequency (RF) performance available in a compact CMTS, the G1 CMTS addresses the needs of smaller cable systems operating in space constrained environments with high RF noise impairment conditions. The superior RF performance of the G1 CMTS enables cable operators to deploy this DOCSIS 1.1-based solution in cable environments with very low signal to noise ratios where previously only proprietary solutions were available. This solution allows cable operators to rapidly deploy data services to generate more revenue and to maximize profit margins by leveraging the multi-vendor environment and optimal cost structure facilitated by DOCSIS. "Juniper Networks has paid a great deal of attention to the needs of cable operators. The Juniper G1 CMTS delivers impressive price/performance for a compact DOCSIS 1.1 based CMTS," said Michael Harris, president of broadband research firm Kinetic Strategies. "The ability of the G1 CMTS to run full 10 Mbps upstream channels increases the available bandwidth per subscriber for delivering a wide range of enhanced IP services. Additionally, the G1 CMTS' ability to operate over more challenging RF plants allows for a ubiquitous deployment of DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.1 cable modem services today." Juniper Networks Inc.
