Many networks have seen benefits from convergence in the core and the edge, a similar transformation is clearly required in the access network. Universal Access is an architectural concept that achieves this objective by extending operational intelligence from the edge to access network. Juniper Networks ACX Series Universal Access Routers are purpose built to support adaptive services architecture, enabling rapid deployment of access services and transforming the network to create a seamless end-to-end service delivery platform. ACX series being a family of hardened universal access routers can be deployed in a variety of service provider use cases namely, mobile backhaul, residential and business access, as well as mission critical enterprise use cases demanding high availability operation in extreme environments such as power utilities, oil & gas, mining, transportation, defense and public safety industries.

Fixed and mobile operators are increasingly challenged to deliver high bandwidth services while growth in average revenue or margin per user fails to justify significant infrastructure investments. While many networks have seen benefits from convergence in the core and on the edge, a similar transformation is clearly required in the access network. Universal Access is an architecture that extends operational intelligence to that network.

The ACX4000 is a 2.5RU, actively cooled access router that is environmentally hardened for field deployment. This versatile, high-performance mobile access platform runs on the Junos operating system.

The ACX4000 has two modular interface card (MIC) slots that can house 16 T1/E1 ports, 6 GbE copper/fiber combination ports, or 4 CHOC3/STM-1 ports, which creates a mobile access platform versatile enough for any deployment.

Besides 2 MIC slots, the platform also provides a number of fixed ports; 2x 10GbE, 2x GbE SFP, 8x GbE combination (copper/fiber).
