Introducing Universal Access

Traditionally, service providers have deployed separate networks for their business, residential, and mobile
customers. Convergence and network simplification have been hallmark trends for service providers in recent years,
and Juniper has led the way with the Universal Edgeone common platform for business, residential, and mobile
subscribers. Access networks could also benefit from consolidation, but this has remained a challenge due to the
disparate technologies developed for mobile, residential, and business access. Instead of relying on separate access
devices to connect customers, operators want to converge access networks to deliver both a more predictable
experience to users and better economics to shareholders.
Junipers Universal Access solution is based on the high-performance Juniper Networks ACX Series Universal Access
Routers, anchoring the first fully integrated, end-to-end network architecture that combines operational intelligence
with capital cost savings. With Universal Access, operators can extend the edge network and its capabilities to the
customer, whether thats a cell tower, a multi-tenant unit, or a residential aggregation point. This creates a seamless
MPLS architecture that is critical to delivering the benefits of 4G radio and packet core evolution with minimal truck
rolls, paving the way for new revenue, new business models, and a more flexible and efficient network.
Universal Access also uses Junos Space to offer a single management plane. This enables an open, standards-based
management system that allows for rapid provisioning, fault management, Operation, Administration, and
Maintenance (OAM), and service monitoring, as well as integration into existing management systems. In addition,
proven synchronization technology results in better utilization of assetsmore calls added, fewer calls dropped, and
more data transported with fewer retransmissions, leading to happier customers and a healthier bottom line.

Junipers ACX Series Access and Aggregation Portfolio

The ACX Series, a key component of Universal Access, is built to support diverse service architectures. It enables
rapid deployment of access services, and it transforms the network to create a seamless end-to-end service delivery
architecture.
ACX Series routers enable the Universal Access architecture to run Juniper Networks Junos operating system (Junos
OS) from access to edge to core, providing a seamless end-to-end service delivery network for all applications and
customers. The operational intelligence of IP/MPLS in the Junos OS permits traffic steering and makes efficient use of
existing bandwidth. Flexible services can be applied at the access layer and optimized per customer. ACX Series
routers also incorporate the Juniper Networks TCA Series Timing Appliances technology to deliver high precision,
high bandwidth, carrier-class timing and synchronization.
The ACX Series platforms include fixed form-factor models in Juniper Networks ACX1000, ACX1100, ACX2000, and
ACX2100 Uni versal Access Routers, and a modular option in the ACX4000 Universal Access Router. The
forthcoming ACX5000 Series Universal Access Routers will be high density, high capacity, low cost 1-Gigabit Ethernet
/ 10-Gigabit Ethernet / 40-Gigabit Ethernet aggregation routers targeted for Metro Ethernet aggregation. The ACX500
is designed for small cell deployments.

Junipers Evolved Mobile Backhaul Solution

Juniper Networks offers mobile backhaul solutions that can be purely IP/Ethernet-MPLS based or a hybrid of Ethernet
and other Layer 2 technologies such as ATM, T1-E1, and Frame Relay. Juniper Networks products are suited for a
wide range of mobile backhaul solutions that span migration strategies from legacy technologies to greenfield
deployments that meet the requirements of the next generation mobile backhaul networks.
Solution components include the following:
Juniper ACX Series routers for cell sites with NSN MW Radio;
MX Series routers for pre-aggregation or aggregation/hubsite router;
Juniper MX Series as provider edge (PE) router plus NSNs or Junipers Grandmaster; and
Junos Space plus NSN NetAct with NetViewer for management.
There can be multiple migration paths from the existing legacy-technology-based backhaul networks. Some of these
options can provide a migration strategy that fits with the long-term plan to move to the latest technologies such as
LTE.
The functionality of the mobile backhaul network is independent and not influenced by the type of traffic that is
transported across the network. Services such as class of service (CoS), MPLS, and virtual private LAN service
(VPLS)coupled with features such as high availability HA, OAM, and reliabilitycan be leveraged for mobile traffic.
Mobile network operators that are already familiar with the Junos OS can implement all of the end-to-end backhaul
network with considerable ease.
Juniper Networks can provide one solution for Layer 2 and Layer 3regardless 2G/2.5G/3G/LTE/WiMax.

Metrocell Deployment Use Case

On this slide we are showing a simple use case for the ACX500. In this application, ACX500 is placed indoors and
serves the small cell and the various femtocells. It provides IPsec functionality for management traffic, acts like a
DHCP server for the small cells, and also performs NAT. The reason why it performs NAT and IPsec is because the
traffic is traversing the third-party ISP network that is essentially not trusted, and there is a need for address
translation. This use case is currently tested and being trialed with AT&T.

ACX5000 Line
The ACX5000 line of routers are high density, high capacity, low cost 1-, 10-, and 40-Gigabit Ethernet aggregation
routers targeted for Metro Ethernet aggregation.
The following two models will be available in the first half of 2015:
The ACX5048, which is 1U in height, with 48 1-Gigabit Ethernet/10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports, along with six
40-Gigabit Ethernet quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) uplinks, and 1.44 Tbps throughput; and
The ACX5096, which is 2U in height, with 96 1-Gigabit Ethernet/10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports, along with eight
40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ uplinks.
The ACX5000 line provides E-LINE, E-LAN and IP-VPN service. It enables service providers to deploy cost-effective
Metro Ethernet aggregation solutions that are suited for a new wave of Metro Ethernet deployments where 10-Gigabit
Ethernet user-to-network interface (UNI) will rapidly replace 1-Gigabit Ethernet UNIs due to the evolution of the
business customer, gigabit passive optical network (GPON), and base stations, from 1-Gigabit Ethernet to 10-Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces.
The ACX5000 routers will enable Juniper to enhance its market position in the Metro Ethernet market.

ACX5000 Applications: Metro-E Aggregation

The ACX5000 line of routers is perfect for the access and aggregation segments and complements the Juniper
provider edge solution (MX Series). A generic network diagram is presented on this slide. On the following slides we

ACX 5000 Applications: Metro-E Aggregation (Business)

The ACX5000 line of routers can be used in the aggregation layer. The solution can be Layer 2 or IP/MPLS based,
depending on service provider preference. If an ACX5000 router is used in an IP/MPLS solution, it provides all Metro
Ethernet Forum (MEF) service with Ethernet-OAM (E-OAM), and IP VPN, and has the logical scale required for this
type of applicationsuch as, 288,000 MAC address, 128,000 forwarding information base (FIB) prefixes, 12,000
transit label-switched paths (LSPs), scalable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), and so on. The ACX5000 line
enables service providers to deploy a high-capacity aggregation metro Ethernet solution all the way to the customer
edge.

ACX 5000 Applications: Metro-E Aggregation (Business)

In this role, the ACX5000 router acts like a high-capacity Ethernet aggregation device (EAD) device, ideal for servicing
large buildings or business areas. It enables service providers to offer 1-Gigabit Ethernet service and capture new
customer opportunities as demand for 10-Gigabit Ethernet service takes off.
If local rings are used for creation of service coverage, the 40-Gigabit Ethernet option can be considered as a very
handy option that provides optimal usage of the local dark fiber. An ACX5000 router can cover all essential
functionality needed for this position in the network, such as the following:
MEF service;
IP VPN service;
E-OAM;
RFC 2544 reflection that enables issuing of service certificates, option to create simplified deployments by using
G.8032 in addition to deployments of IP/MPLS in the last mile.

ACX 5000 Applications: Metro-E Aggregation (Residential)

Residential services, such as triple-play, in addition to MEF and IP VPN service, will most likely require a flexible and
scalable multicast solution. The ACX5000 line of routers provides deployment options for Layer 3 as well as Layer 2
multicast over a bridged or VPLS network. This gives service providers the tools to deploy optimal network
technology, depending on circumstances, in addition to enabling service providers to effortlessly migrate the access
network from 1-Gigabit Ethernet to 10-Gigabit Ethernet UNIs.
