Juniper Networks Selected by KK Networks for Sustainable Cloud Metro Network Deployment
Juniper Networks, a leader in secure, AI-Native Networks, announced that it
is providing KK Networks, one of the fastest growing internet Service
Providers (ISPs) in Pakistan, with a scalable and resilient Cloud Metro
network. The network will provide residential users with affordable internet
access and an enhanced quality of experience, while also providing a
sustainable services delivery platform for KK Networks (KKN). KKN is also
expanding its offering with business-grade internet services using the
transformed network. The new, robust Cloud Metro infrastructure will cover
extensive areas of Lahore, Pakistan with plans to extend further over time.
The company has also upgraded its data centers with state-of-the-art
automation software and secure, high-performance platforms from Juniper to
streamline and optimize the design, deployment and operations of the network
fabric. This will complement the Cloud Metro platform, further enhancing the
overall user experience at scale.
KKN is a fast-growing internet service provider that has rapidly evolved
to accommodate the surging demand in Pakistan for digital services. Following a
four-fold increase in its user base in Lahore in just two years, KKN needed a
robust metro network to handle the increasing demand on bandwidth which today
serves 140,000 residential customers and growing. Juniper’s Cloud Metro
solution was chosen specifically to provide a platform that can scale alongside
KKN’s continued traffic growth and support the distributed nature of its user
base and therefore traffic patterns.
With its previous network, internet performance would often slow during
peak hours. Frequent network congestion meant that subscribers’ internet
connections would often drop. With a transformed metro network that keeps up
with the pace and scale of demand, KKN can now deliver reliable internet
connectivity with enhanced quality of experience for its subscribers. The
company is continuing a high-growth trajectory with an opportunity to bring
high-performance, differentiated internet services to thousands of homes and
businesses in Pakistan.
KKN has an ongoing objective to help support and enhance the digital
economy in Pakistan. Approximately half of the 230 million population is still
without access to broadband internet services today, according to the Pakistan Telecom Authority. The Cloud Metro network from
Juniper equips KKN to create reliable, high-quality digital connections that
can improve economic opportunity, build a stronger community and foster better
education. Juniper Cloud Metro’s compact and efficient system design enables
KKN to deliver more energy-efficient operations. Additional to improving its
own operational costs, this also bolsters its ability to offer affordable
broadband for customers across the region.
