Juniper RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) Partner Program

Juniper has always advocated for the importance of open interfaces and interoperability in networking because it fosters innovation. This enables the creation of an ecosystem of best-of-breed solutions and accelerates deployment.

Juniper RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) Partner Program helps third-party developers create and deploy innovative applications on the Juniper RIC platform.

Juniper RIC is a cloud-native platform that enables programmable management and control of the underlying radio access network (RAN). The RIC allows third-party application developers to tap into network data, process it, and modify RAN behavior.

Juniper RIC Partner Program provides developers access to Juniper RIC SDK/APIs, tools, documentation, and technical support to build and deploy applications.

We’re excited to have you join our community of innovators helping to shape the future of the RAN, and we’re ready to support you every step of the way.
