Juniper Networks(r) (NYSE: JNPR) announced the general availability of its new mobile secure router, the LN1000, the industry's first 8 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) port, ruggedized blade router that provides radio router protocol support with hardware based queuing and an integrated intrusion detection and prevention system. Compliant with the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, and running on the Juniper Networks Junos(r) operating system, the LN1000's small size and energy efficiency were specifically designed for being embedded in highly demanding, mobile network and sensor applications, such as military platforms, first responder and public safety vehicles, the Smart Grid, vehicular transportation systems, and a variety of oil/gas/mining exploration and energy/utility applications.

The LN1000 meets a rapidly growing market need for transporting audio, video and data traffic for communications, surveillance and data aggregation applications supporting secure connectivity in cars, trains, unmanned aviation vehicles and remote senor and monitoring stations. The LN1000 securely interconnects these devices and platforms with central command or operations centers. Juniper first developed the LN1000 as a commercial off-the-shelf product that could support General Dynamics' efforts on the U.S. Army Warfighter Information Network Tactical (WIN-T) program.

The LN1000 is the industry leading secure router that delivers single-OS stability, interoperability and scalability; is compliant with both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols; and supports rigorous SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) specifications. Packaged at the VITA Standards Organization's 4 x 6 x .85 inches VPX form factor, consuming less than 35 watts of power and weighing less than 1.5 pounds, the LN1000 is usable in environments ranging from -40C to +85C. With conduction cooling requiring no external power, the LN1000 can be deployed with minimal impact to existing platforms.
