Part of Light Reading's Leading Lights Award program, these awards are considered among the most authoritative in the industry, recognizing leading companies and their executives for their outstanding achievements in telecommunications. The award was presented on Nov. 2 at an awards dinner in New York City following the first day of Ethernet Expo Americas 2010. Light Reading's editors say the Best New Product category endeavors to recognize a 'potentially market-leading product that, through engineering and technical excellence, enables the deployment of profitable next-generation telecom services.'

The MX80 is part of Juniper's family of MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers that enable the delivery of business, residential and mobile services at massive scale. The MX Series allow for network optimization for service providers and enterprises by speeding deployment of new services and reducing operational costs and complexity. Based on the Junos® Trio chipset with revolutionary 3D Scaling technology, the MX 3D Universal Edge Routers enable quality of experience by processing two to four times more traffic than the competition — up to 2.6 terabits per second — while using half as much power per gigabit.
