Summit Communications Powers the Future of Connectivity in Bangladesh with 400G Solutions from Juniper Networks

By: via Business Wire

Juniper's converged optical routing solutions deliver scalability and performance, revolutionizing space, power and cost efficiency for the service provider

Juniper Networks® (NYSE: JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-driven networks, today announced that Summit Communications, a leading end-to-end infrastructure service provider in Bangladesh, has selected its PTX Series Routers for 400G Converged Optical Routing solution upgrades to serve as the foundation of Summit's core network. This will enable seamless network capacity expansion and efficient delivery of enhanced connectivity over hundreds of kilometers to various points of presence (PoPs) across the country.

Over the past decade, Bangladesh has undergone significant digitization and is now home to an emerging digital economy with over 66.94 million internet users. To accelerate this transformation further, the country's Government has announced its vision of "Digital Bangladesh," aimed at establishing a robust foundation for its digital economy. In support of this vision, Summit Communications has been instrumental in shaping the country's networking landscape, notably constructing the largest fiber optic network infrastructure in the country.

With demand for mobile, internet and digital services continuing to soar, Summit Communications recognized the need to pioneer the adoption of innovative networking solutions to meet current and future connectivity demands. Building on a long-term relationship spanning over a decade, Summit partnered with Juniper for the next phase of their network transformation journey into 400G.

To enable a seamless transition to a Converged Optical Routing Architecture while improving its core network's scalability, capacity and power efficiency, Summit Communications selected Juniper's PTX10000 Series Packet Transport Routers. Equipped with 400G Coherent Optics, these routers will enable Summit's network to achieve high-speed data transmission over long distances to its PoPs in Bangladesh while maintaining high reliability.

As Summit Communications progresses through its networking transformation journey with Juniper's solutions, it will be in a strong position to meet its customers' requirements, offering a superior end-user experience and top-tier performance in Bangladesh's rapidly expanding digital economy.
