Telefónica Spain has chosen Juniper Networks to secure the mobile backhaul of its next generation 5G network with the rollout of the Security Gateway (SecGW) SRX5800 platform from Juniper.
Telefonica has selected Juniper’s Security Gateway (SecGW) SRX5800 because it provides outstanding performance, scalability and service integration, said Juniper Networks. vSRX and cSRX are also available, allowing the solution to extend seamlessly across the Telco Cloud infrastructure.
With Juniper’s SRX Series Telefónica also selected a platform that can grow to support additional services, including Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation (CGNAT) that helps solving the problem of shortage of public IPv4 addresses, Stateful Firewall, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Denial of Service (DoS), that protects against massive cyberattacks, Application Security, VPN (IPsec), Unified Threat Management (UTM), Quality of Service (QoS) and Large-scale Multitenancy in the future.
Telefonica will use the third generation Services Processing Card (SPC3) with higher throughput and encryption capabilities to meet the high bandwidth requirements for large scale 5G deployments, as well as fourth generation of Input Output Cards (IOC4), supporting up to 480 Gbps and offering multiple connectivity options from 10GbE to 100GbE.

By leveraging Juniper’s single, low-latency security platform, we can be confident, regardless of scale, that our 5G network will be secure now and into the future, plus providing the necessary quality for companies and for the end user.
Raj Yavatkar, CTO of Juniper Networks
In order to better combat and contain security threats in a modern mobile network, service providers like Telefónica are working to ensure security is embedded throughout the network. Juniper’s Security Gateway can help deliver peace-of-mind, as well as regulatory compliance for growing 5G networks, while ensuring network performance is maintained.
