“There are a handful of IP/MPLS service providers that already have points-of-presence in every city and large town across the country, so rather than replicating their infrastructure, we are leveraging it and focusing on creating our service differentiation by offering some interesting overlay managed services, enabled by the Juniper core,” said Udit Mehrotra, managing director, Spectranet.

Spectranet’s IP/MPLS network is built around clusters of Juniper Networks MX80 3D universal edge routers deployed in Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and New Delhi.

These routers are peered with other MPLS service provider networks enabling Spectranet to offer nationwide MPLS/VPN connectivity via its existing broadband and fibre-optic access networks in these cities.

“To be successful as a Tier-1 network aggregator and local service provider requires top-notch infrastructure that delivers excellent quality-of-service while keeping a lid on costs,” said Ravi Chauhan, managing director, India and SAARC, Juniper Networks. “We are helping Spectranet to pursue its hybrid strategy, not only by providing a very advanced MPLS platform — the Juniper Networks MX Series — but also offering a pay-as-you-grow solution that minimizes upfront costs.”
