Juniper MX304 – Modular Edge Router

Guide price: Price range: £19,191.29 through £24,750.00 Ex. VAT

Product Overview

The MX304 is a 2U universal-edge router built on Juniper’s Trio 6 silicon and running Junos OS. It delivers up to 4.8 Tbps of system capacity, with redundant routing engines, power supplies and front-to-back cooling. The chassis supports modular interface cards (MIC/LMIC), enabling a strongly flexible port configuration from 10 GbE up to 400 GbE, and making MX304 a highly scalable, multiservice edge platform.

Ideal deployment / environment: The MX304 is ideal as a universal-edge or metro-aggregation router for service providers, data-centre operators, or large enterprises requiring high throughput, interface flexibility and carrier-class reliability. It fits business-edge, broadband aggregation, mobile or cable backhaul, data-centre interconnect (DCI), or metro Ethernet roles.

MX304 works well in cloud, multi-tenant, broadband-access and peering environments. The compact 2U chassis supports high-capacity deployment in dense data-centre racks, regional aggregation sites and service-provider central offices.

Key Features

  • Up to 4.8 Tbps throughput in a compact 2U form factor, supporting high-capacity edge and aggregation use cases.
  • Flexible port density and interface mix: up to 96 × 10/25 GbE, 48 × 40/50/100 GbE, or 12 × 400 GbE per chassis (depending on MICs).
  • Carrier-grade redundancy and reliability — redundant Routing Engines, dual power supplies, fan modules and robust hardware design for high availability.
  • Full multi-service edge capabilities — support for IP routing, MPLS, VPN (L2/L3), Ethernet services, and rich traffic management/QoS, enabled by programmable Trio 6 ASICs.
  • Compact, power-efficient and telemetry-ready — power consumption at 0.3 W per Gb; supports integrated timing (SyncE, PTP) and telemetry for visibility and performance monitoring.
