VicTrack chooses Juniper Networks for upgrade

Juniper Networks has announced that VicTrack, the state-owned enterprise that owns all railway and tram lines, networks and infrastructure in the state of Victoria, has selected Juniper Networks for the upgrade of its statewide network that supports mission-critical transport and government applications.

The upgrade will provide a safe and efficient commuting experience across one of Australia’s most populous states, while simultaneously bolstering networking infrastructure to offer communication solutions.

VicTrack provides a full range of telecommunications solutions for the Victorian Government and its transport partners. It additionally operates and manages an extensive telecommunication network along the rail corridor that includes nearly 3000 km of fibre. By selectively replacing legacy components while maintaining the existing Juniper Networks MX and ACX platforms, VicTrack will be able to seamlessly and cost-effectively digitise to meet its needs.
