SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Juniper Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: JNPR) today announced that Bezeq, the largest telecom provider in Israel, has selected Juniper Networks security solutions for the data protection of its MPLS-based IP network. Juniper Networks worked closely with its local partner, Bynet, and BezeqCall, a systems integrator specializing in business solutions, to win this competitive tender.

Bezeq's network security solution being deployed consists of the Juniper Networks NetScreen-5200 integrated firewall and IPsec VPN system and the Juniper Networks NetScreen-Security Manager platform. Operating at up to 4G/ps (firewall throughput) and up to 2G/ps (VPN throughput), the NetScreen-5200 provides wirespeed performance for Bezeq's IP VPN network. The Juniper Networks solution also provides high-speed traffic routing and filtering capabilities and supports VPN routing & forwarding (VRF) and Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN). The NetScreen-Security Manager manages and monitors the security deployment from a central location.

Bezeq's requirements for its new security solution primarily focused upon the ability to process large and increasing volumes of customer data traffic, coupled with high performance and reliability to ensure quality of service for Bezeq's customers. These requirements led Bezeq to focus upon a hardware-based security solution; which avoids the data processing 'bottlenecks' and performance issues typically created by software-based security products.

Bezeq's IPsec network serves as the infrastructure for the provision of secure, advanced IP services. The VPN solution enables Bezeq to sell these services to its customers at a premium. Customers can choose the services required from a Web-based graphic interface and gain access to their corporate network, from anywhere in the world and using a variety of means of secure access. Ofer Perry, CEO of BezeqCall, said: 'The implementation of future-proofed, effective and secure broadband service networks is a huge challenge for telecoms providers. This deployment has been achieved successfully by properly integrating Juniper Networks' best-in-class security technology into an innovative MPLS network. It is proof of our capabilities and positions us as a leading integrator of IP communication and data protection solutions in this region.'

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Juniper Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:JNPR - News) today announced that Red Electrica Telecomunicaciones (RET), a data solutions and broadband services provider in Spain, operating under the brand name Albura, has deployed the E-series edge routing platform in its broadband networks. The solution is designed to extend the wholesale xDSL (Digital Subscriber Line) broadband services RET offers to Spanish service providers. RET has deployed the Juniper Networks solution working closely with local integration partner, Telindus.

"Our company is experiencing significant growth and demand for different ADSL services," said Jesus Sanchez Rios, general business manager, RET. "This market transformation has persuaded us to replace our existing access routers with a robust, multi-service platform to handle current service levels that would easily scale to meet future demand. Following rigorous trials, Juniper Networks was chosen for its proven technology that offers both stability and flexibility in a modular design that provides the future-proof scalability that we require."

Juniper Networks ERX-1440 edge routing platforms are being deployed in RET's metropolitan Points of Presence (PoPs). Each platform is capable of processing up to 48,000 simultaneous broadband subscribers, aggregated from the numerous service providers using RET's wholesale infrastructure. The Juniper Networks ERX-710 platform is also deployed for proof-of-concept modeling, as more new services are developed and brought to market by RET.
