A new T-series 40 Gbps Interface Card delivers unprecedented interoperability and service agility over optical transport and IP network infrastructures. The latest features address service provider requirements in the strong installed base of more than 2,500 T-series routers deployed worldwide.

Also in the fourth quarter Juniper and NEC expanded its existing partnership and announced plans to jointly develop IMS-FMC solutions for the service provider market. Juniper and NEC are collaborating to deliver comprehensive, best-in-class solutions for both wired and wireless service providers.

On the enterprise side, Juniper announced its branch office strategy that includes standards-based application acceleration, IP telephony, routing and security designed to work with customers' existing networks and accommodate future growth.

The branch office strategy also includes a range of new implementation services with Juniper WAN Application Acceleration technologies, as well as the integration of Intelligent Communications capabilities from Avaya into the J-series routers offering greater flexibility for customers.

Also announced in the fourth quarter was the integration completion of Juniper's 802.1X components with the new Unified Access Control 2.0 solution, including elements of the Odyssey Access Client and Steel-Belted Radius.
