Terayon Communication Systems and Juniper Networks announced an alliance to deliver advanced cable broadband solutions. The alliance matches Terayon’s DOCSIS-2.0-qualified BW 3500 CMTS (cable modem termination system) with Juniper Networks’ high-performance IP edge routing platforms. The companies said they are developing a joint architecture to ensure seamless interoperability between the edge routing platforms and the CMTS, as well as validating new VPN (Virtual Private Network) services and application-based routing and tunneling capabilities. The architecture is currently in trials with several international cable operators. http://www.juniper.net
- In August 2003, Juniper Networks announced a strategic partnership with ARRIS targeting solutions for Multi-Service Operators (MSOs). The co-marketing initiative combined Juniper’s IP platforms with the ARRIS cable modem termination system (CMTS). As part of this partnering strategy, Juniper Networks also announced its intention to voluntarily discontinue its G-series CMTS product line from its PBC acquisition (below).
