| Noting consistently good user experience and sustainable business growth will be fundamental benchmarks of success in an increasingly competitive market, and with usage on both its mobile and fixed broadband infrastructures reaching unprecedented levels, Virgin Media O2 has successfully migrated all core traffic in its backbone locations across the UK to Juniper Networks transport routers capable of supporting 800G capability.As it embarks on its journey to offer full-fibre across the UK for residential customers, beef up its business infrastructure and merge all its mobile users onto the O2 network, in the past year, Virgin Media O2, one of the UK’s largest fixed and mobile service providers, has seen 32% traffic growth on its mobile network, 16% growth in broadband data downloads and a peak traffic load of 22TB, underlining the need for increased data capacity and flexible scalability.Virgin Media O2 selected Juniper as the technology partner for the strategic upgrade for numerous reasons, including its previous track record as a key networking provider for more than 10 years with Virgin Media and O2 before their joint venture in 2021. Another factor was said to be Juniper’s ability to deliver “compelling” economics for Virgin Media O2. These include long-term investment protection through continuous custom silicon innovation by keeping pace with market demands, the planned use of automation tools to help reduce operational costs, and a “favourable” total cost of ownership with a reduced energy consumption design.“This calls for responsible, strategic innovation and investment to create an agile network infrastructure that can simultaneously scale in step with our business, be mindful of resource consumption and deliver an extended lifecycle that protects our investment,” she added. “Juniper is a long-standing technology partner, so it is very reassuring that it has the same vision for sustainable growth, user experience, and the fundamental importance of digital enablement in our communities and economy.”“Virgin Media O2 has chosen to [deploy technology] that can turn complexity on its head to deliver a simplified, more reliable and more sustainable network foundation for its business…The company can embrace and accelerate growth and service evolution, safe in the knowledge that its millions of users will continue to be able to enjoy the best digital experiences going forward, whatever demands the future may bring,” he said. -- ???????? | |||
