Juniper Networks has acquired Acorn Packet Solutions, Inc. in a cash transaction valued at up to approximately US$8.7mn. Acorn Packet Solutions develops products and technologies that natively connect legacy Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and other circuit-based applications across next-generation IP networks. Initially targeted at the U.S. Federal market, these solutions enable customers to protect their investments in legacy network technology, such as TDM and serial encryption, while providing a smooth migration path to more flexible and cost-effective IP networks. With this acquisition Juniper is enhancing its solutions for Federal customers as it continues to advance its strategy to secure and assure the delivery and performance of applications over an IP network through best-in-class traffic processing.
