BARCELONA--(Marketwire - February 14, 2010) - Juniper Networks (
NYSE:
JNPR) today announced
that Sprint Nextel Corp. has reached an agreement to purchase its Juniper
SRX Series Services Gateways, which will enable the company to securely
deliver mobile data services.
Juniper will provide a high-end, scalable security solution to accommodate
potential growth in mobile data subscribers as well as handle increased
data usage per subscriber.
The SRX5800 Services Gateways, equipped with multiple 1 Gigabit Ethernet
and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections, will be deployed in core and
distribution data centers throughout the United States. The SRX Series will
also enable Sprint to employ additional network and security capabilities.
The feature integration on the SRX Series is enabled by Juniper's Junos®
software. The SRX Series is equipped with a robust list of features that
include firewall, intrusion prevention system (IPS), denial of service
(DoS), Network Address Translation (NAT), and quality of service (QoS). In
addition to the benefit of individual features, incorporating the various
features under one OS greatly optimizes the flow of traffic through the
services gateway. Network traffic will no longer need to be routed across
multiple paths/cards or even disparate operating systems within a single
gateway.
