Juniper Networks announced its new MX Series 5G Universal Routing Platform along with several software innovations. This is the company's fifth generation of the MX platform, which combines software- and hardware-based networking to equip carrier, cloud and enterprise customers for the evolving technological and business demands of next-generation services delivery.

To address the challenges related to the provision of SD-WAN, IoT and 5G and herald the next generation of routing for the coming wave of 5G, IoT and business services, Juniper said it designed its MX Series 5G Universal Routing platform with new silicon for near-infinite feature programmability, as well as open hardware-accelerated 5G Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS) for unparalleled performance, scale and freedom of choice, with additions to its universal chassis designed for operational simplicity, improved economics and increased agility.

With Contrail’s comprehensive automation and rich software management overlay capabilities, along with MX’s subscriber management, Spring, and enhanced real-time performance monitoring telemetry data, the new capabilities enable customers to create and scale any type of service across a secure automated distributed cloud in a simplified way. News highlights include Juniper Penta Silicon, MX 5G Control User-Plane Separation (CUPS) Hardware Acceleration and MX10008 and MX10016 Universal Chassis.

The MX10008 and MX100016 will be available during the second half. Juniper Penta Silicon-powered line cards for the MX960, MX480 and MX240 will be available in Q1 2019. New CUPS support will be available in the first half of 2019.
