SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: JNPR) today announced that Get (formerly UPC Norway), a leading independent Norwegian cable TV services provider with more than 350,000 subscribers, has selected Juniper Networks M320 routers to upgrade its core network to an IP/MPLS architecture. The upgraded network will distribute broadcast-quality video content from Get's headquarters to multiple regional cable head-end sites in major cities throughout Norway, using Juniper's unique point-to-multipoint (P2MP) capabilities. The new network, deployed in conjunction with Juniper's local partner, IPnett AS, will also deliver broadband Internet connectivity and voice over IP (VoIP) services to consumers.

'We upgraded our core network to enable fast, reliable and cost-efficient delivery of broadcast-quality video material to our regional offices simultaneously in support of Get's video-on-demand offerings. We also wanted to leverage the network for delivery of other premium IP-based services to our customers, providing a more compelling offering for users without significantly increasing our costs. We believe that the superior availability and feature set provided by Juniper's technology successfully provide a common content core that delivers these savings.' said Rolf Bive, CTO at Get. 'MPLS-based point-to-multipoint is clearly the most flexible, efficient way of achieving a multi-purpose network suited to the performance and quality demands of broadcast. Juniper Networks pioneered P2MP technology, and has already proven its efficiency in other high-profile broadcast networks, which was a major factor in our decision to work with their technology.'
