With Juniper’s Converged Optical Routing
Architecture, Telxius will provide exceptional and sustainable
connectivity across its 100,000+ km footprint spanning Europe and
the Americas
Telxius, a leading global connectivity provider, is scaling its
core and edge network infrastructure to 400G with a Converged
Optical Routing Architecture (CORA) provided by Juniper Networks
(NYSE:JNPR), a leader in secure AI-Native Networks. This will
enable a simplified network capacity expansion and efficient
delivery of enhanced connectivity to metro networks and data center
interconnects (DCI). It provides connectivity across distances of
around 100 km to points of presence (PoPs) across Telxius’ global
footprint in Spain, the Americas, and wider Europe.
Telxius connects millions of customers globally, providing a
wide range of capacity, colocation and security services, as well
as direct internet connectivity through its Tier-1 IP network. Its
extensive ecosystem combines fiber optic submarine cables and
terrestrial backhauls together spanning 100,000+ km, almost 100
PoPs in 17 countries, plus 27 data centers. Telxius seamlessly
connects customers with ultra-high capacity, low latency and
resilient networking.
Telxius will migrate some of its key architecture to Juniper’s
CORA and PTX Series Packet Transport Routers to deliver a network
that offers robust power and space savings superior performance and
automated operations. This will free up a substantial amount of
reserved bandwidth and allow for flexible extension to 400G
capacity. The project will create enhanced connectivity for
Telxius’ customers and create a more sustainable architecture by
optimizing network scalability and bandwidth efficiency.
The solution leverages leading edge technology with the use of
an IP over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (IPoDWDM)
solution. This maximizes routing platform capacity, scales up link
bandwidth, and can reach more network locations and customers
whilst removing the need to manage and maintain external DWDM
equipment.
Using Juniper’s CORA, Telxius will simplify the network
architecture by consolidating previously siloed IP and optical
network layers into a unified system leveraging IPoDWDM. Once the
project is complete, Telxius expects to increase network
reliability for its customers, simplify network operations and
substantially reduce power consumption.
“This project is a fantastic step forward to bring added
scalability and capacity to the Telxius network through 400G
coherent pluggable optics, meeting our customers’ needs in today’s
ever-growing digital economy. Telxius is at the forefront of
innovation, ensuring reduced power consumption and a simplified
network architecture to provide a better experience for our
customers. We anticipate a number of vendor-agnostic solutions that
could support this architecture, and we are excited to collaborate
with Juniper to build a solid foundation for further network
expansion,” said Carlos Dasi, CTO, Telxius.
“400G optics are a highly reliable solution to further enhance
Telxius’ infrastructure to enable the best experience for
customers. Telxius is leading the way for network innovation with
the deployment of Juniper’s PTX and CORA, and Juniper is proud to
enable this network transformation. Juniper’s optics solutions
provide a simplified integration with Juniper infrastructure that
allows the customer to scale up and scale out their network in line
with their business goals. Built to last, this network
transformation will extend Telxius’ network longevity to
future-proof the business,” said Julius Francis, Senior Director of
Product Marketing, Juniper Networks.
