Juniper Networks® ACX Series Universal Metro Routers are Juniper’s response to a shift in metro network architecture, where the access and aggregation layers are extending the operational intelligence from the service provider edge to the access network. The ACX Series simplifies access and aggregation architectures by eliminating unnecessary layers and network overlays, dramatically reducing CapEx and OpEx. 

Based on architectural simplification and cost reduction, the ACX Series enables service providers and enterprises to adopt the true universal metro paradigm. In addition to Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) CE2.0 compliance for supporting both Ethernet and IP/MPLS, the ACX Series provides high capacity, scalability, and a secure packet optical transport layer, while delivering industry-leading performance with a wide range of port densities and interface types.
