MX480 5G Universal Routing Platform

Agile and modular router for service provider and enterprise digital transformation.


Unrelenting traffic growth— driven by higher speeds, more subscribers, mobile penetration, cloud adoption, and ubiquitous video consumption—is straining traditional service provider and enterprise networks. To accommodate this reality, Juniper’s Secure Automated Distributed Cloud solution helps service providers react to changing market conditions and accelerate service delivery with world-class products and innovative architectural components. The MX Series is an integral part of this solution. Powered by the Junos OS and programmable Trio/Si5 silicon chipset, MX Series platforms deliver powerful routing, switching, security, and services features that help operators successfully transform their networks—and their businesses—in today’s hyperconnected world.


The SDN-enabled MX480 5G Universal Routing Platform delivers high performance, reliability, and scalability for service provider and cloud applications, enabling the delivery of advanced business and residential applications and services. At just eight rack units (8 U), the MX480 offers up to 9 Tbps of system capacity in support of high-density 10GbE, 40GbE, 100GbE, and 400GbE interfaces, and SONET/SDH, ATM, and PDH connectivity.

The high-performance MX480 is packed with highly scalable routing, switching, security, and service features that enable revenue-generating applications, network consolidation, and service convergence. Key features include support for Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) capability, a wide range of Layer 2/Layer 3 VPN services and advanced broadband network gateway (BNG) functions, along with integrated routing, switching, and security services.

Powered by Junos OS and the programmable Juniper Penta silicon, the MX480 is deployed in mission-critical service provider and enterprise networks worldwide. It helps network operators prepare their networks—and their businesses—to react quickly to ever-changing market conditions in the cloud era.

Built-In Encryption

Powered by Juniper’s best-in-class Juniper Penta silicon, the MX480 has embedded MACsec and IPsec encryption with no sacrifice in performance.

Investment-Protecting Scale

Scales through 9 Tbps, with support for 18 400GbE interfaces and 90 100GbE interfaces to ensure investment protection.

Service Integration

Integrates a wide set of services—including carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT), stateful firewall, and deep packet inspection—to address the widest range of applications as well as efficient network and service consolidation.

SDN Enabled

Seamless integration with standards-based SDN controllers such as the Contrail Cloud Platform makes the MX480 an ideal anchor point for service chains that include physical and virtual elements, enabling highly elastic, automated, and customized service delivery.
