Business Wire, August 23, 2005

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Juniper Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:JNPR) today announced that Israeli Internet and communications service provider smile Internet Gold has deployed Juniper Networks M-series routing platforms in the core of its broadband network. The routing platforms, supplied by elite J-Partner Netcom, are being used to expand the network and to provide business and residential customers with a range of high-performance, secure and reliable broadband services, including Internet access and voice over IP (VoIP).

M-series multiservice routers allow service providers to deploy new income-generating services quickly and efficiently. The M-series high-performance platform reliably supports Layer 2 services, including ATM, Ethernet and Frame Relay; full Layer 3 services; and a combination of firewall and data encryption.
