MX5 Universal Routing Platform

Compact, agile, full featured, software upgradeable


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 compact, agile, and full featured MX5 Universal Routing Platform is ideally suited for enterprise and service provider applications, and is optimized for space and power constrained facilities. It is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet Modular Interface Card (MIC) that permits flexible network connectivity, and a MS-MIC that provides dedicated support for comprehensive flow monitoring.

The MX5 is also software upgradeable to deliver higher performance, port density, and additional services. This investment protecting approach enables customers to increase bandwidth, subscriber, and services scale while minimizing upfront costs.

Long-Term Investment Protection

Increase scale through 80 Gbps and add services via simple software upgrade that provides nondisruptive platform evolution and long-term investment protection.

SDN-Ready

Seamless integration with SDN controllers like Juniper Networks Contrail enables elastic service delivery, simplified operations, and service differentiation.

Service Agility

Ability to incorporate services inline and via MS-MIC provides new revenue opportunities in business and residential markets.

Compact Design

At 2 U, the full-featured MX5 is an ideal choice for space- and power-constrained facilities.
