(stock symbol) ) today announced that ENMAX Envision Inc. ("ENMAX Envision") has deployed Juniper T-series routers to form the core of its new IP/MPLS IP/MPLS Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching network backbone and to enable the introduction of a range of new ultra high speed Ethernet based Business-Class services. ENMAX Envision will deploy T640 routers in all its major points of presence throughout Calgary. Deployed with Juniper's advanced Ethernet Services cards, the T-series will enable ENMAX Envision to deliver new line rate GigE and 10GigE Services to their clients over a resilient MPLS (1) (MultiProtocol Lambda Switching) The earlier name for GMPLS. See GMPLS. (2) (MultiProtocol Label Switching) A standard from the IETF for including routing information in the packets of an IP network. backbone. "With the Juniper platforms, we are able to introduce new Ethernet based services that deliver exceptional quality, prioritization and guaranteed network availability at very competitive prices," said Erwin Kantwerg, General Manager at ENMAX Envision. "The Juniper routing platforms ensure our network operates with industry leading reliability, and with the new advanced Ethernet Services cards, will provide us with network flexibility and unique, granular granular /gran·u·lar/ (gran´u-lar) made up of or marked by presence of granules or grains. gran·u·lar adj. 1. Composed or appearing to be composed of granules or grains. 2. quality of service capabilities that will enable us to significantly differentiate our services in the Calgary market." ENMAX Envision provides customized connectivity solutions tailored for the intricate communications needs of Calgary's business community. The new state of the art T640 network enables the delivery of comprehensive Metro Ethernet A metropolitan area network (MAN) that uses a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) backbone rather than SONET/SDH links. Ethernet offers a more economical alternative. In a Metro Ethernet network, multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) may be deployed to provide quality of service (QoS).

Juniper Networks Ethernet Services (IQ2) cards provide high-density Ethernet interfaces and advanced, fine-grained quality of service (QoS) functionality in a modular system that can be added incrementally and non-disruptively to all M- and T-series routing platforms. By combining Juniper Networks' proven strengths in routing with next-generation Ethernet technology, the Ethernet Services cards enable service providers to efficiently introduce new, high-value services while concurrently reducing capital and operational costs. "ENMAX Envision is truly one of Canada's most innovative network service providers and has built a solid reputation on providing the highest capacity Ethernet Services to the Calgary marketplace for many years. The Juniper T640 platform will again allow ENMAX Envision to continue an outstanding tradition by enabling Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Services at line rate with enhanced Quality of Service capability. We are very excited to be working with them as they expand their network and introduce these new services," said Tim Lambie, vice president, Americas International for Juniper Networks. "ENMAX Envision's new Ethernet services are another proof point of the value that comes from combining Juniper's strengths and experience in highly reliable service provider routing with cost effective and efficient Ethernet technology."
