Telefónica Spain has selected Juniper Networks® MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers to build the next-generation Metro network across Spain to deliver fixed and mobile broadband services, including high-speed TV for residential users, as well as cloud services for businesses, all from a single IP network. Telefónica’s new network will enable superior capacity and performance for video capabilities, including multicast IPTV, network DVR, catch-up services, fixed and mobile broadband and voice, and Layer 2 and Layer 3 business VPN.

Our new network supported by Juniper Networks will streamline connectivity with a seamless IP path from access to services and cut down the number of hops to traverse. The new network will also be quicker to provision, thereby reducing time-to-service activation and enabling simpler overall operation and maintenance.
