service provider in the Greater China region will expand

businesses, hence, the unique benefits of proven reliability
and scalability will be of paramount importance, and
Juniper’s M-series platform perfectly serves our requirements”,

infrastructure upgrade demonstrates our company’s commitment
in providing our customers with high quality and professional
network services with enhanced voice, video and data

in Asia Pacific would grow by 50 per cent over the next
18 months, propelled in part by companies moving enterprise
applications online. By partnering with Juniper Networks,
CPCNet is offering the latest MPLS-based solutions to
business users in the fast-growing Greater China market.
