Juniper has introduced new generation silicon to enable customers to upgrade T Series Core Routers. The router can be upgraded to 250 Gbps without service interruption.

“Considering the growth in wireless and IP services, flexible high-performance network platforms that support 100 GE are critical for the core of the network to scale efficiently and simply,” said Ray Mota, managing partner, ACG Research. “By committing to continuous expansion of their T Series routers, Juniper is providing their customers the capability to leverage and expand existing assets to scale the core with maximum operational efficiency and investment protection.”  

The chipset is built in 45 nanometer technology, and yields total router throughput beyond 4Tbps. It also has self healing, and has power efficiency features.

“The T Series is fundamentally different from any other router on the market because its architecture was designed to deliver leading core capacity and scale,” said Matt Kolon, vice president for Service Provider, Juniper Networks Asia Pacific. “The chipset we are introducing today is the next step in our core routing strategy, delivering unparalleled investment protection and enabling our customers to continually scale their networks.”

The first trials with products that use the new chipset technology are scheduled for the second half of 2010 and will be available for purchase in early 2011.
