BANGALORE: Korea Telecom, the world's largest provider of advanced broadband
services, has selected Juniper Networks M20 Internet routers to enhance
performance and alleviate capacity demand throughout their National High Speed
Backbone Network, PUBnet.
Korea Telecom PUBnet offers over ten thousand government and public
institutions advanced data services across the National Superhighway Network.
The Juniper Networks M-Series Internet routers will enhance the performance,
stability and scalability of the growing Korean public network supporting fast,
reliable connections in the PUBnet Points of Presence (PoPs) using 1 Gbps
circuits.
Korea Telecom PUBnet provides mission critical communication services to the
country's largest public networks. With growing demand, the need for IP routing
platforms to provide network security and performance along with the scalability
to offer further advanced IP services such as MPLS VPNs has increased
significantly.
Juniper Networks has been chosen as a trusted and proven supplier whose
routing platforms meet the demands of Korea Telecom PUBnet. In addition to
simultaneously supporting increased traffic demands and boosting data
transmission speeds, Korea Telecom is committed to advancing data security and
manageability of the new public network. After extensive testing Korea Telecom
concluded that the performance and stability of the Juniper Networks M20
Internet router, along with the enhanced security functions, increased
visibility into network operations, and rich service creation capabilities of
the Internet Processor II ASIC, exactly fit PUBnet's requirements.
The M20 Internet router is purpose-built to alleviate capacity demand on
access points in the PoP and uses Juniper Networks Internet-proven ASIC
technology. The M20 Internet router, as with all Juniper Networks-developed
Internet platforms, benefits from the latest feature-rich version of JUNOS
Internet software. JUNOS Internet software is purpose-built for service provider
networks with an inherent modular design to deliver the reliability and
scalability needed to grow networks rapidly. Over the last six years, Juniper
