Juniper Networks and The Satellite Applications Catapult Build 5G Testbed for Mobile and IoT Services for UK Critical Infrast...
February 27 2018 - 3:00AM
Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), an industry leader in automated,
scalable and secure networks, today announced that The Satellite
Applications Catapult, a UK-based technology and innovation
company, has selected Juniper to construct a secure, end-to-end
network infrastructure in support of their 5G testbed.
Specifically, the testbed creates a secure, network
infrastructure to foster the innovative use of 5G, providing
ubiquitous connectivity across terrestrial and satellite
communication in support of mission critical applications including
use cases for IoT, autonomous systems and e-health initiatives.
Juniper’s News Highlights
- The 5G testbed is due to be officially opened in April 2018 and
brings together leading academics and key industry partners towards
a shared vision to help define and develop the next-generation of
terrestrial and satellite 5G infrastructure and
applications.
- The testbed infrastructure brings together a range of Juniper’s
technology and solutions, including routing, switching, security
and software-defined networking, as well as network functions
virtualization (NFV), mobile edge computing and software
orchestration in the core. There will be a presentation of the
project in Juniper’s booth (Hall 2, #2J60/ 2J61)
at Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona.
- Once completed, the testbed could be used for collaborative
development projects such as those recently proposed by the UK
Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
(DCMS). This will enable Juniper and The Satellite Applications
Catapult, to support other partners to realize the 5G ambitions of
the UK Government.
“Communication infrastructure services underpin the development
of many next generation innovations and satellite connectivity is a
critical element. The two cannot develop independently from one
another. 5G underpins the overall agenda for better connecting
digital infrastructure to data sharing devices across the country
and hence is a key part of UK Government digital strategy. Juniper
Networks’ role in helping The Satellite Applications Catapult’s
involvement in 5G has been instrumental in helping us deliver on
these next generation communication infrastructure advances and
data services innovation.”
- Kieran Arnold, Director 5G at The Satellite Applications
Catapult
“The deployment and use of 5G testbeds is crucial to enabling
the early engagement of infrastructure end-users to provide a way
for them to shape the way services will be delivered by 5G
infrastructure. Having the opportunity to provide many of the key
components that enable that delivery in a seamless and secure way
is a fantastic way to showcase how Juniper is providing a
simplified answer to an incredibly complex problem.”
- Tom Ruban, chief technology officer EMEA at Juniper
