NEC and Juniper drive 5G open networks

As operators eye their medium-to-long-term network plans for broadband, 5G, and beyond, it is becoming increasingly clear that open networks—including Open RAN—will be the way forward. The journey to a successful open network strategy will require significant planning in all phases, including network migration, deployment, and ongoing operations. The end result will be well worth the effort. To enable this dramatic advancement, NEC has developed NEC Open Networks, a comprehensive product and services suite that delivers on the real promise and benefits of 5G through a truly open approach throughout the entire network ecosystem, including RAN, xHaul Transport, core, OSS/BSS, and system integration. 

As a proven prime integrator of complex, multi-vendor, end-to-end open networks in the 5G era, NEC’s success is built on a philosophy of collaboration and partnership. Powered by NEC’s system integration service with rich expertise from Juniper solutions, NEC and Juniper innovate E2E open networks to drive NEC Open Networks for better user experience.   

Juniper’s cloud-ready data center solutions provide advanced networking capabilities designed to support the demands of modern cloud environments. These solutions are specifically engineered to optimize performance, scalability, and agility within data centers. Juniper's cloud-ready data center solutions incorporate technologies such as the data center fabric, network automation with Apstra®, and software-defined networking with Contrail® to enable efficient management and provisioning of resources.

As part of NEC Value Added xHaul Network Solution in NEC Open Networks, with the networking expertise of Juniper and NEC, organizations can build robust and flexible data center architectures that meet the requirements of cloud-based applications and services.
