Description

ACX Series Universal Metro Routers add operational intelligence to metro environments, providing the option to deploy packet optical, metro Ethernet, or IP/MPLS infrastructure. High-precision synchronization technology, industry-leading security, and high availability features enhance QoE, while extensive OAM, built-in advanced SLA management, and zero touch deployment capabilities reduce TCO. ACX Series platforms address a variety of service provider use cases, including business, cable distributed access architectures, residential fiber, and mobile backhaul, as well as enterprise applications for power utilities, oil and gas, mining, transportation, and defense and public safety industries.Product Description Juniper Networks® ACX Series Universal Metro Routers are Juniper’s response to a shift in metro network architecture, where the access and aggregation layers are extending the operational intelligence from the service provider edge to the access network. The ACX Series simplifies access and aggregation architectures by eliminating unnecessary layers and network overlays, dramatically reducing CapEx and OpEx. Based on architectural simplification and cost reduction, the ACX Series enables service providers and enterprises to adopt the true universal metro paradigm. In addition to Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) CE2.0 compliance for supporting both Ethernet and IP/MPLS, the ACX Series provides high capacity, scalability, and a secure packet optical transport layer, while delivering industryleading performance with a wide range of port densities and interface types. Table 1 provides an overview of the interfaces supported on each ACX Series model. Flexibility and upgradability (the ability to mix and match interface types) makes the ACX Series ideal for a wide range of use cases.
