DATASHEET ACX SERIES UNIVERSAL ACCESS ROUTERS Product Overview Fixed and mobile operators are increasingly challenged to deliver high bandwidth services while growth in average revenue or margin per user fails to justify significant infrastructure investments. While many networks have seen benefits from convergence in the core and on the edge, a similar transformation is clearly required in the access network. Universal Access is an architecture that extends operational intelligence to that network. Juniper Networks ACX Series Universal Access Routers are built to support an adaptive services architecture, enabling rapid deployment of access services, and transforming the network to create a seamless end-to-end service delivery platform. Product Description Juniper Networks® ACX Series Universal Access Routers include the fixed configuration ACX1000, ACX1100, ACX2000, and ACX2100 Universal Access Routers in a compact 1 U form factor. These are environmentally hardened and support passive cooling for easy deployments in outside street cabinets or environmental enclosures. The ACX4000 Universal Access Router is a modular 2.5 U form factor with higher performance and configurable options for interface types. Powered by Juniper Networks Junos® operating system, the ACX Series delivers industry-leading performance and simplified end-to-end provisioning with support for full IP/MPLS with traffic engineering, and extensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality. ACX Series Universal Access Routers cost-effectively address current operator challenges to rapidly deploy new, high bandwidth services. With industry leading performance of up to 60 Gbps for all models and the most comprehensive, traditional, and packet timing features, the ACX Series is well positioned to address the growing bandwidth needs in the access network. These platforms deliver the necessary scale and performance needed to support multi-generation services. With support for extensive hardware and software features, the ACX Series extends the operational intelligence all the way to the access network to deliver seamless end-to-end services. Equipped with interfaces for both timedivision multiplexing (TDM) and Ethernet (high density GbE, Power over Ethernet, and 10GbE), as well as support for high precision clocking and synchronization, the ACX Series platforms can support the mobile network’s evolution path from 2G/2.5G to 3G/4G/Long Term Evolution (LTE). Powered by Junos OS, the ACX Series family complements Juniper’s Universal Edge1 and Universal WAN2 solutions by integrating the mobile network with a flexible and scalable enterprise and branch routing portfolio optimized to support rapidly growing mobile, video, and cloud computing applications. The ACX Series introduces Juniper’s proven IP/MPLS leadership from core and edge into the access layers of the network. Still maintaining relative simplicity in the access network, the ACX Series supports a rich suite of L2, L3, and IP/MPLS functionality to allow large-scale seamless MPLS networks with simplified service provisioning and operations. 1 Juniper’s Universal Edge solution at www.juniper.net/us/en/solutions/service-provider/universal-edge. 2 Juniper’s Universal WAN solution at www.juniper.net/us/en/company/press-center/press-releases/2011/pr_2011_05_0208_02.html. 1
