Australia's Macquarie Selects Lucent/Juniper for Expansion

Macquarie Corporate Telecommunications, a competitive carrier in Australia, selected Lucent Technologies to supply Juniper Networks' E-series edge routing platforms. The network expansion enables Macquarie Corporate to enhance its existing VPN offerings to include services such as MPLS-based IP-VPN and capitalize on Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) to offer customers greater security and control. Lucent deployed and integrated the Juniper solution into the existing Macquarie data network, which Lucent manages from its Global Network Operations Centre in North Ryde, Sydney. Financial terms were not disclosed.



Macquarie is focused exclusively on serving the government and corporate sectors in the Australian and South Asia markets. http://www.juniper.nethttp://www.mct.com.au
