On Q Communications transforms network to meet soaring digital need across Australia.

After more than a decade of organic growth, On Q reimagined its business to offer voice and data services to small and medium-sized businesses, enterprise, and education customers. With a regional specialist focus, On Q enables customers to provide better digital experiences in their local areas.

“As our customer base grew and demand for data grew, the conversation turned to Juniper,” Frost says.

Automation, combined with the simplicity of a Juniper network, enabled On Q to accelerate service velocity. An open, programmable Juniper network empowers the team to automate service provisioning and rapidly troubleshoot problems.

Also key to service velocity is a building-block approach to network design. “Juniper’s cookie-cutter approach gives us a massive advantage for growth,” Frost says.

The Juniper MX204 Universal Routing Platform provides high-density, 100-Gbps connectivity for the core network. The Juniper ACX2100 Universal Metro Router allows for efficient regional service delivery. As growth continues, On Q can simply swap in more powerful Juniper routers and repurpose existing investments.

Customer sites are connected with Juniper SRX Series Services Gateways for consolidated security, routing, switching, and WAN connectivity.

A Juniper network has simplified operations and increased reliability for On Q, fueling an expansion of voice and data services.

“Having a Juniper network helps us sleep better at night,” Frost says. “With Juniper, we have reduced downtime and can troubleshoot a lot faster.”

On Q has a strong partner in growth and innovation.

“The relationship with Juniper has been the biggest advantage for us, bar none,” Frost says. “The ability to have coffee and informal whiteboard sessions with Juniper has made all the difference.”
