The Juniper MX304 provides compact, scalable routing for core and service-edge networks that need room to grow without a large chassis. Built on Junos, it supports modular expansion and resilient connectivity for expanding routed traffic.
As routed services expand across edge, interconnect and aggregation layers, infrastructure teams need more capacity, tighter service separation and a compact platform that can grow without forcing a disruptive rebuild.
Juniper MX304 is a universal routing platform for production environments that need high-capacity edge routing, DCI and service-edge connectivity. It is built for deployments where density, predictable forwarding and room to scale matter more than chassis size.
The platform delivers 4800 Gbps of routing capacity and supports 100G interfaces, giving network teams a practical way to absorb growing traffic on a smaller system. Its 4M FIB and Segment Routing support help keep routed services organised as paths, policies and services expand.
That combination supports cleaner expansion, steadier forwarding and a more manageable upgrade path as connectivity demands increase. It fits environments that need to add capability in step with operations, not around them.

Juniper MX304 is a core routing platform for high-demand service provider and enterprise edge environments, designed to deliver centralized network control and consistent forwarding behavior in compact deployments.
High-Capacity Forwarding
The platform provides 4800 Gbps of routing capacity to support demanding core routing environments.
Core Network Alignment
Its architecture is positioned for core use cases where stable throughput and backbone connectivity are required.
Junos Control Plane
The system uses Junos as the operating system and management platform for consistent network administration.
Operational Consistency
The platform is built to support repeatable routing operations across standardized Junos-managed environments.
Centralized Administration
Junos provides a common operational model for configuration, monitoring, and policy control across the platform.
Platform Governance
The routing system is designed to keep management and control functions aligned with core network operations.
Deployment Flexibility
The MX304 can be used in new and refurbished variants while maintaining the same product identity and operating model.
If you are planning core routing capacity or standardizing network operations, our team can help you align MX304 deployment choices with your architecture and management requirements.

The Juniper MX304 is a modular universal routing platform for compact edge, interconnect and service aggregation deployments that have outgrown fixed-port routers. It fits teams that need more scale, more interfaces and disciplined operations without moving to a much larger chassis.
Service providers can place the MX304 at metro edge and aggregation sites where subscriber growth, peering and business services are increasing. It helps avoid a jump to a much larger platform while preserving space and operational headroom.
In data centres, the MX304 suits routed edge, peering and DCI roles that need service separation and interface growth. It gives infrastructure teams a compact way to expand interconnect capacity without introducing chassis scale they do not yet need.
Financial organisations can use the MX304 for resilient WAN, DCI and colocation edge routing where predictable forwarding matters. It supports expanding exchange and site interconnects while keeping the footprint and change risk lower than a major platform move.
Media and entertainment networks benefit when the MX304 is used to aggregate contribution, distribution and cloud exchange traffic. It gives routing teams room to add high-volume paths gradually instead of forcing an early migration to larger hardware.
Energy and utilities operators can deploy the MX304 at regional core or edge sites to separate control, telemetry and enterprise traffic. The compact form factor helps where site space is tight but routing capacity must keep growing.
Our team can help design and deploy Juniper MX304 routing for telecoms, data centres, finance, media and utilities, with practical support for sizing, integration and phased rollout planning.
