Telecom Egypt Selects Juniper Networks for Superior Performance and Service Assurance

Intelligent, Automated 400G Infrastructure to Fuel Experience-Driven Platform for Nationwide Digital Transformation

Juniper Networks, (NYSE: JNPR) a leader in secure, AI-driven networks, today announced that it has been selected to design and deploy a significant network capacity expansion and upgrade for Telecom Egypt across its national infrastructure, serving a customer base of 9.8M for fixed line services, 6.9M for broadband and 7.3M for mobile. This move is in line with the sustained exponential growth of bandwidth demand and service quality expectations faced by Telecom Egypt, coupled with its ongoing pursuit of a root-and-branch digital transformation program as a key element of the Egyptian Government’s Digital Egypt and ICT 2030 initiatives.

The overriding principle of Juniper’s latest deployment for Telecom Egypt is to invest in a customizable, automated high-performance network that can scale up and scale out with assured service experience in step with exponential growth and future demands. The deployment is an automated, flexible infrastructure that collects, analyzes, interprets and responds to real-time data reporting its own health status and traffic patterns. As a result Telecom Egypt will operate much more efficiently and cost effectively, while delivering a consistently exceptional user experience for its business and residential customers alike.

To meet Egypt’s booming bandwidth capacity requirements, the network will be equipped with 400G interfaces from Juniper’s purpose-built IP transport portfolio using custom silicon to deliver high density, reliable data throughput and low cost-per-bit. This will be complemented by Juniper’s standards-based automation portfolio that delivers a superior operational experience along with an assured end-user experience. Together, the 400G routing portfolio and the automation portfolio deliver the ability for Telecom Egypt to drive its digital transformation strategy based on best-in-class performance and user experience.

News Highlights

  • Highlighting the growth trends it faces, Telecom Egypt reported a 43 percent year-on-year increase in its mobile user base in FY20
  • Telecom Egypt’s strategy is to deploy a closed-loop automation suite as a step towards simplifying the entire network lifecycle. By eliminating manual tasks and human error, network reliability, agility and flexibility are increased while reducing operational expense which will help to improve customer experience and eliminate the cost of churn
  • Taking automation a step further towards AI/ML and self-driving networks, Telecom Egypt is introducing powerful, flexible traffic engineering capabilities provided by the Juniper Networks® NorthStar Controller. This gives Telecom Egypt granular visibility and control across the network. This solution will also provide proactive monitoring, planning and explicit routing of large traffic loads, helping to achieve and maintain consistent performance
  • Juniper’s HealthBot, an automated, open and programmable network diagnosis tool, will also be deployed by Telecom Egypt. HealthBot provides end-to-end operational intelligence, translating real-time analytics into actionable insights
  • Together, these solutions will help enable Telecom Egypt to deliver an exemplary end-user experience for its large and diverse customer base
  • 400G interfaces will be provided by the Juniper Networks® MX Series Universal Routing Platforms, equipped with MPC cards (Modular Port Concentrators)
  • Together these solutions provide the flexible, high-capacity foundation for Telecom Egypt’s efficient, cost-effective new network
  • High-performance security is also provided with the MX Series’ inherent MacSec capability, which enables inline, automated threat detection and mitigation without impaired data throughput speeds
  • The entire deployment uses Junos® OS, a consistent, unified operating system across each solution. This approach delivers operational simplicity for Telecom Egypt, while remaining fully open and programmable.
