ACX7000 Family Overview

ACX7000 family of routers, purposely built for the IP service fabric underlay of a Juniper Cloud Metro, leverages the industry's fastest chipset, provides a unique balance of system design, and sets new benchmarks for sustainable high-performance platforms. Managed by Junos® OS Evolved and Juniper Paragon™ Automation, ACX7000 routers are embedded with Paragon Active Assurance and with Zero-Trust security built in, enabling operators to deliver highly differentiated customer experiences. Available in environmentally rated, fixed, fixed plus modular, and fully modular designs, these energy and footprint efficient, multiservice routers support high-precision timing technologies and are engineered for service provider, enterprise, residential (including passive optical network (PON) with the Juniper Unified PON Solution), IoT, and 4G/5G mobile applications.

Individually, ACX7000 platforms bring leading-edge performance, scale, and capability to any deployment. When building a comprehensive Juniper Cloud Metro architecture consisting of multiple ACX7000 family platforms, new dimensions of end-to-end operational capability, performance, and simplicity are realized. Forming the foundation of an IP service fabric underlay, the ACX7000 family of routers shares innovative features that elevate operations and enable the core characteristics of a Cloud Metro.
