Juniper Networks announced an application of its E-series platform to enable differentiated services such as guaranteed bandwidth, virtual private networks, QoS, added security, and controlled access to premium content using public wireless networks (PWLAN). The SDX-300 Service Deployment System, which is based on its Model for Integrated Network Transformation (MINT), consolidates the user authentication and service creation functions from many hotspots into a single, hardware-based platform. The SDX-300 provides simple web-based login via service portals customized for specific users and locations, and dynamic self-selection of the additional PWLAN services through personalized web portals. Juniper Networks said the current approach to building PWLANs, which requires underpowered and feature-constrained CPU-based gateways to be deployed, configured, and managed at each and every hotspot, restricts the service to basic Internet connectivity.
