Cellcom Deploys Juniper M10 Routers

November 5, 2002 -- Network infrastructure provider Juniper Networks Inc. (Juniper.com) announced on Tuesday that Israel-based mobile operator Cellcom has deployed Juniper Networks M10 routers in its nationwide network.

Juniper says the M10 routers will help generate new virtual private network revenues, while reducing operational expenses through the consolidation of several internal mobile structures onto one IP/MPLS backbone infrastructure.

Cellcom deployed the M10 router to support new VPN services for fixed line data traffic and General Packet Radio Services (GPRS). The routers, says Juniper, offer an advanced set of features, including support for MPLS functions and VPN options. Consolidating separate internal IT networks for functions such as billing, databases and signaling, the M10 routers reduce Cellcom’s operational expenses.

"With the advanced MPLS capabilities featured in the M10 router, Cellcom now has the ability to support GPRS and extend the offering from mobile data to provide its customers with new revenue generating VPN services, while reducing operating costs," said Jean-David Lehmann, regional manager, Juniper Networks, Inc. "With the superior performance and high availability of the Juniper routers in its network Cellcom can offer its customers the best possible services.
