Juniper Networks has unveiled a new technology framework with new software and mobility solutions that will transform the user experience and operator economics of mobile broadband. The “new network” for mobility is designed to address rapidly changing customer behaviors and expectations, while dramatically improving total costs and revenue opportunities for service providers.
Unlike legacy networks that dominate today’s mobile landscape, Juniper’s mobility framework is built on open standards and flexible software platforms that will enable mobile operators to handle a broad range of devices, applications and customer needs.
During GSMA Mobile World Congress, Juniper announced the launch of Junos Ready Software, a growing portfolio of third party and Juniper-developed applications based on the Junos software platform.
Specifically for mobile operators, Juniper is delivering new third-party applications for mobile video delivery, addressable advertising, service monitoring, service delivery and security.

Junos Pulse is the industry’s first downloadable client software that provides secure connections across smart-phones, notebooks and net-books to a broad range of corporate applications.
Expected to be available in Q2 2010, Traffic Direct will help providers reduce network congestion, minimize impact on their mobile infrastructure, and lower their total cost of ownership.
