FusionNet, India latest Internet Service Provider(ISP) aims to shake up the broadband market within India’s National Capital Region (NCR) with an all-fiber service that leverages scalable routing, switching and security from Juniper Networks.
FusionNet is rolling out multi-service gigabit passive optical network (GPON) infrastructure in the fast-growing districts of the NCR, providing fiber-to-the-premises Internet access at up to 100 Mbps. By the end of this year, the GPON infrastructure – used to support pre-paid smart meter electricity distribution as well as other services such as cable TV – will be connected to about 150,000 homes and business, said FiberNet.
The ISP will be leveraging Juniper Networks MX480 3D Universal Edge Routers which can support up to 5.76 Tbps of system throughput, deployed as centralized broadband network gateways (BNGs) in FusionNet’s operations center. This eliminates the expenses associated with distributing BNGs to all of FusionNet’s points-of-presence (PoPs). In addition, FusionNet is deploying Juniper Networks EX4200 Ethernet Switches to provide high density network access ports, including MX Series routers and a Juniper Networks SRX650 Services Gateway in FusionNet’s operations center.

In-line with our vision of being the worldwide leader in networking innovation and our support for Digital India and Smart Cities, we are happy to partner with FusionNet to address this great opportunity of unmet customer demand within the NCR, and potentially elsewhere in the county.
