SOLUTION
An open, agile, automated network
Algeria Telecom worked with NEC and Juniper to ensure a smooth deployment in a country that spans from the mountains to the arid
desert.
NEC provided extensive professional services to engineer and build the new metro networks. Juniper MX Series Universal Routing
Platforms provide simple, secure connectivity at scale in those networks.
The Juniper Paragon™ Automation solution, including Paragon Pathfinder and Paragon Planner, gives Algeria Telecom deep visibility into its
network and services while simplifying operations. This paves the way for assured user experiences with complex 5G and multicloud
services. The provider also uses the Juniper NorthStar Controller to simplify traffic engineering and Anuta ATOM for stateful configuration
compliance and device lifecycle management.
OUTCOME
Automated network paves the way for 5G
Together, NEC and Juniper helped Algeria Telecom achieve its objective of providing a high-capacity, innovative network to accommodate
surging data traffic and future 5G use cases.
“The successful completion of the IP metro network modernization project by our partners, NEC and Juniper, will allow us to make the
migration to IPv6, initiate digital transformation, and implement high-speed Internet, as we best satisfy the needs of Algeria Telecom
customers,” says Allahoum Hocine, head of IP core at Algeria Telecom.
Algeria Telecom enhanced the speed and accessibility of Internet services to the citizens and businesses of Algeria. Subscribers enjoy a
five-fold increase in speed with far superior Internet service quality and services now reach 50% percent more of the population (planned
to reach 67% of the population)
Expanded access to Internet digital services can have a profound impact on Algerian’s lives, helping create new jobs and improve people’s
lives.
“The rapid growth of network traffic is a clear indication of the need for modernization and
expansion of network capacity. Overall, the innovative solutions from Juniper enabling this
automated metro cloud architecture have helped us achieve our strategic goals and thrive as we
pave the way for 5G.”
