ACX710 UNIVERSAL METRO ROUTER

DATASHEET

Product Description

Juniper Networks® ACX710 Universal Metro Router is a response to the relentless increase

in demand on metro architectures, where hardened access and aggregation platforms are

required to extend operational flexibility from the service provider edge and across the

metro. The ACX710 delivers the form factor, optimized performance, density, and

resiliency needed for metro applications, including strict timing and synchronization

requirements for mobile backhaul applications.

Powered by the Junos® operating system, Juniper Networks ACX Series Universal Metro

Routers provide operators with a wide array of SDN-enabled and subscriber-aware IP

transport solutions, facilitating the 5G-ready Cloud Metro architecture required to address

current and future challenges and opportunities.

The integrated multiservice features and capabilities of the ACX710 reduce the complexity

of metro operations, eliminating the need for unnecessary network layers and overlays and

creating the opportunity to reduce CapEx and OpEx in operator networks. The ACX710

simplifies network design, while creating a foundation for more efficient operations and

service agility, enabling operators to adopt a true universal and converged metro paradigm

for the Cloud, 5G, and AI era.

The ACX710 Product Offering

The ACX710 Universal Metro Router is a hardened, fixed, and compact 1 U solution,

purpose-built for efficient 4G and 5G service delivery and scale. Its high-performance, high-

capacity, and hardened design makes it ideal for ubiquitous deployment in metro

applications and telco cloud architectures. The ACX710 provides high 1GbE/10GbE and

100GbE port density, lowering footprint rental and power costs, and it support Juniper’s

Unified PON technology. The router also supports VPN services over IP/MPLS networks,

service provider SDN, service exposure using NETCONF/YANG, extensive quality of

service (QoS), and Class-C timing and precision synchronization features, making it ideally

suited for low latency service delivery. With 320 Gbps of switching capacity, the stackable

ACX710 delivers the performance, capacity, and feature set required for LTE, LTE

Advanced, and 5G radio access network (RAN) sites in a hardened and compact form

factor. Table 1 provides an overview of the interfaces supported by the ACX710.
