WorldLink Selects Juniper Networks to Power Nepal’s Networking Transformation
August 21 2018 - 01:30AM
Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), an industry leader in automated,
scalable and secure networks, today announced that WorldLink,
Nepal’s largest internet service provider, has successfully
leveraged Juniper’s globally-proven, high-performance networking
solutions to tackle the networking constraints and complexities of
an exponentially growing consumer market.
As a country in the throes of tremendous development, Nepal has
witnessed explosive levels of growth in connectivity. Government
reports1 show that internet penetration has grown from 10 percent
in 2011 to nearly 50 percent today including Mobility and only
around 12 percent in fixed Broadband. Emerging as a major broadband
player in enabling this transformation, WorldLink has witnessed its
customer base double each year since 2014 with this level of growth
seen not only in the urban capital of Kathmandu, but across more
than 70 smaller cities and towns nationwide in fixed broadband.
Faced with this expanding customer base, ever-increasing
internet traffic and the resulting spike in demand for services,
WorldLink selected Juniper Networks as a partner that could
future-proof its backbone network.
At the top of WorldLink’s priorities is transitioning toward a
high performance 100GbE infrastructure alongside future-proofing
flexibility and scalability to support continued growth. WorldLink
identified the single-platform MX series as a major differentiating
factor, allowing for the capabilities required to support sustained
growth while also providing cost-efficient, streamlined network
management for the foreseeable future.
Joining the list of the world’s leading internet service
providers rolling out 100GbE deployments, WorldLink has greatly
simplified the complexities of networking for the rapidly
developing country, enabling thousands in Nepal to join the
evolution of the internet age.
News Highlights

WorldLink for deployment as part of its transition towards a
high-speed 100GbE backbone network.
