NTT Communications has deployed the Juniper Networks T1600 Core Router to power its next-generation video transmission system. NTT Comm is using the T1600’s MPLS multicasting capability for high-capacity delivery of high-definition video for customer applications.
NTT Communications, a subsidiary of NTT Corporation — one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies — provides network management, security and network services to consumers, corporations and governments.
The T1600 boasts 1.6 terabits per second (Tbps) throughput and the ability to forward up to 1.92 billion packets per second. Juniper noted that the half-rack design of the T1600 combines a small footprint with the industry’s best power efficiency.
“To achieve the high-quality of services that our customers demand, we have worked hard to develop new technologies that enable the forwarding of multicast streams to change dynamically and across a wide bandwidth without packet loss. This has been achieved through our discussions with Juniper Networks’ developers and engineers in the U.S. and Japan. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the Juniper team to support our organization’s evolving needs,” stated Osamu Nakazawa, director, Innovative IP Architecture Center, NTT Communications.
