Juniper Wins SingTel, Telenor

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Juniper Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: JNPR), a leading provider of trusted infrastructure for the New Public Network, today announced that Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) has awarded Siemens Information and Communication Networks (ICN) a contract for the supply, installation and maintenance of additional Juniper Networks ERX Edge Routers. This deployment will expand SingTel's broadband network and support the existing Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connection services to its Internet Service Provider (ISP) customers. The ERX router was chosen for its wire-speed performance, high scalability and reliability. Since thousands of connections can be supported in a single ERX chassis, SingTel now has the ability to conserve point-of-presence (PoP) space, while also supporting a larger number of wholesale subscribers for its broadband services. The virtual router capabilities in the ERX platform negate the need for each customer to have its own dedicated router, enabling SingTel to securely and more cost-effectively support a larger number of ISP partners. "Broadband services are expected to experience strong growth this year and the next. SingTel will continue to invest in infrastructure to meet growing demand for its services and remains committed to providing the best broadband access solutions to our customers," said Ho Siaw Hong, vice president, SingTel Fixed Network Group. "We have been using the ERX Edge Router within our network and are satisfied with the level of in-country support provided." In a separate release: Juniper Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: JNPR), Siemens Information and Communication Networks (ICN), and Telenor today announced that Telenor Business Solutions, Norway's leading provider of broadband services to the private and business markets, has deployed Juniper Networks SDX-300 Service Deployment System in its nationwide IP network. In combination with the previously installed Juniper Networks ERX Edge Routers, the SDX-300 system enables Telenor to customize its broadband services to the needs of the individual subscriber. Through features such as Quality of Service (QoS), traffic shaping, prioritization and dynamic bandwidth allocation, Telenor is able to offer flexible service levels to its broadband customers. In close cooperation with Siemens, Telenor will go through a multi-phase deployment of services with the Juniper Networks SDX-300 system. Once the deployment is complete, the individual subscriber will activate service offerings on an as-needed basis. The SDX-300 system automatically provisions the network to deliver those services, and accounts for service usage on an individual subscriber basis. In the first stage of the deployment, Telenor will use the SDX-300 system to implement service thresholds in order to control its customers' `fair use policy.' Upon reaching the threshold, customers are automatically notified and may choose to upgrade to a superior service package. "Siemens and Juniper Networks understand our business requirements and responded with a tailored carrier grade solution, world-class services and best of breed IP infrastructure products. We are confident that we now have the right infrastructure to provide our customers with the best possible services and this will help us maintain our leading market position," said Per Bjorck, CTO, Telenor Business Solutions.
