PTX Series Packet Transport Routers are high-performance Converged Supercore platforms for service provider networks. These routers deliver powerful capabilities based on the Junos Express chipset and forwarding architectures optimized for MPLS and Ethernet, with integrated, coherent 100GbE technology.

Service Providers need innovative network architectures that are dense, cost optimized, highly available, and simplified. The PTX Series dynamic Converged Supercore model with 100 GbE coherent optical technology provides that, and improves total cost of ownership (TCO), optimizes power use, and drastically reduces space utilization.

The PTX Series routers deliver critical core functionalities, game changing density and scalability, cost optimization, high availability, and network simplification. The Converged Supercore is an integrated end-to-end packet transport solution optimized to deliver the routing and transport technology necessary to economically accommodate the core networking requirements of the new connected economy.
