Experience 5G
5G promises transformational economics for service providers and new experiences for their customers. But 5G New Radio technologies alone won’t allow operators to realize the full potential of 5G.
5G is the sum of many building blocks that span radio access, transport, and core networks. 5G also relies on automation for new levels of orchestration, security, and service assurance. Delivering the differentiated customer experiences that allow operators to maximize 5G value requires integrating these components end-to-end. That’s why Juniper believes it takes an ecosystem to build a 5G network.

Our AI-Native Networking Platform is transforming the service provider landscape just as 5G matures. If you missed us at MWC Barcelona 2024, you can still experience our exciting announcements and activities.
How Juniper can help
Juniper helps service providers navigate their journey to 5G by providing all the building blocks needed to create new business value and compete in the coming decade. We can help you reimagine your architecture, operations, and service experience to unlock the full power and potential of 5G.
Open RAN
The Juniper Open RAN solution is an intelligent, interoperable, and programmable mobile network architecture. Powered by a broad solutions ecosystem, it gives service providers the freedom to choose from a comprehensive portfolio of best-of-breed vendors, drive rapid innovation for high-value services, and challenge the status quo.
Cloud Metro
The Juniper Cloud Metro multiservice architecture consistently delivers assured user experiences across distributed cloud services. Using network slicing, service-aware technologies, and cloud-scale capabilities, you can meet or exceed user expectations for every service while eliminating the costs and complexity of siloed metro operations.
Automated, assured services
The service experience is a critical differentiator for network operators. It’s not enough to keep pace with end-user expectations. You must exceed them, which requires a network that’s responsive, insightful, elastic, and resilient. Juniper Automation provides the service assurance you need to gain that competitive advantage.
Security from client to cloud
Network operators face large volumes of threats with the potential to disrupt their services. Juniper Connected Security safeguards users, applications, and infrastructure by using your entire network infrastructure to detect threats on multiple fronts and extending that threat intelligence to all connection points across your network.
Telco and edge cloud
Mobile operators are embracing telco and edge cloud to deliver high-value 5G services. Juniper’s cloud-first solution is an open, cloud-native architecture that enables workload portability, scalability, and operational consistency across hybrid and multicloud ecosystems. Use it to become more responsive to your customers’ business needs.
