Juniper Networks and Lucent Partner to Expand Service Portfolio of Leading Australian Competitive Carrier

August 17, 2004 - Juniper Networks, Inc. and Lucent Technologies announced that Macquarie Corporate Telecommunications, a leading supplier of voice, data, mobile and hosting solutions, has selected routing platforms to expand its service portfolio for corporate and government customers throughout Australia and South Asia. Lucent Technologies has supplied Macquarie Corporate with Juniper Networks E-series edge routing platforms for deployment across Australia. The network expansion enables Macquarie Corporate to enhance its existing VPN offerings to include services such as MPLS-based IP-VPN and capitalize on Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol (L2TP) to offer customers greater security and control. In addition to extending its geographical reach, Macquarie Corporate is using the Juniper Networks solutions to provide IPSec tunnel termination to customers' VPNs, dramatically reducing network complexity and cost by removing the need for end-user software installations.
