GVTC Communications is a growing provider of high-speed Internet, digital cable, TV, phone, and interactive security monitoring to residential and business customers in South Central Texas. A fiber broadband leader, GVTC was first to deliver residential gigabit speeds in the San Antonio area.
Business Challenge
Passionate about its customers, GVTC wanted to provide the best services at the best prices possible as it expanded its coverage area for gigabit services. GVTC needed a broadband aggregation router with higher port density and the same robust MPLS provider edge feature set its services relied on.
Technology Solution
GVTC thoroughly compared leading aggregation routers and chose the high-density ACX5048 Universal Access Router, with its robust MPLS feature set, cost-effective metro Ethernet access and aggregation, and capacity up to 40GbE. Additionally, the modular MX104 3D Universal Edge Router provides carrier-grade Network Address Translation (NAT), so small pools of public addresses can be shared among GVTC’s end sites.
Business Results
GVTC’s redesigned network is easier to manage. The common Junos OS running across Juniper devices shortens the time to deploy new services and lowers network operations costs. GVTC has bolstered its mission to bring high-speed communications services to small communities, helping attract economic development and improve residents’ quality of life.
The Products
High-performance ACX Series Routers serve metro access, aggregation, and data center use cases. They are energy-efficient, CE 3.0 compliant, and support 5G high-precision timing and synchronization.
With a robust portfolio of SDN-enabled routers, the MX Series provides industry-leading system capacity, density, security, and performance with unparalleled longevity.
