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

Networks has consistently added new features to JUNOS to help service providers

grow and manage their networks seamlessly and cost-effectively.
