The Juniper MX104 delivers carrier-grade edge routing for compact service provider and enterprise sites where space is limited. Powered by Junos and the Juniper Trio ASIC, it supports resilient WAN services and dependable traffic forwarding in constrained environments.
As routed services spread across smaller sites and constrained comms rooms, infrastructure teams need a platform that keeps forwarding predictable without adding footprint or operational strain.
The Juniper MX104 is a compact modular edge router for provider and enterprise environments that need MX service features in space-limited sites. It supports 1G, 10G and 40G interfaces, with 80 Gbps routing capacity for smaller edge and aggregation roles.
Its design suits legacy locations, hardened rooms and distributed edge points where larger platforms are not practical. A 2M FIB and MPLS support help it carry routed WAN, service-edge and separation requirements in environments that still need disciplined traffic handling.
That makes the MX104 a practical choice when teams need consistent routing at the edge, with a footprint that matches constrained sites and a feature set aligned to production service delivery. It supports the kind of incremental refreshes that improve resilience without forcing a wider platform redesign.
Our team can help you assess the Juniper MX104 for your edge, WAN or site-routing requirements and plan a deployment that fits the space, service and operational constraints you manage today.
Juniper MX104 is an edge routing platform for service provider and enterprise network environments, designed to deliver compact deployment flexibility and dependable routing capacity at the network edge.
Edge-Focused Deployment
The platform is built for edge use cases where compact routing systems must support demanding network aggregation and service delivery roles.
Service-Edge Capacity
Its routing architecture is validated for 80 Gbps of routing capacity, aligning platform design with edge throughput requirements.
MPLS Connectivity
Built-in MPLS support enables the platform to participate in label-switched service environments and edge transport designs.
Provider Edge Alignment
The system is suited to edge routing deployments where operational consistency and service connectivity are central to the platform role.
Edge Platform Consistency
The MX104 is positioned as a stable edge routing platform for environments that need a defined network termination and aggregation point.
Transport Service Integration
MPLS capability supports service-oriented routing operations where traffic engineering and network separation are important to edge design.
Capacity Validation
The stated 80 Gbps routing capacity provides a factual performance reference for sizing edge deployments.
If you are designing an edge network that must balance routing capacity with MPLS service delivery, our team can help align the MX104 to your deployment requirements.

Juniper MX104 is a compact edge router for smaller service-edge and WAN aggregation sites that need MX routing consistency without the size or throughput of larger MX platforms. It fits constrained rooms, remote locations, and legacy edge estates.
Telecom operators use the MX104 in smaller provider edge locations where subscriber and business services must stay online, but the site cannot justify a larger chassis. It supports steady routing in tight, hardened spaces.
Energy and utilities teams deploy the MX104 at substations and remote WAN points where control traffic, telemetry, and enterprise traffic must remain separated. Its compact footprint suits continuity-focused sites with limited power and space.
In finance, the MX104 fits smaller branch aggregation and service-edge roles where resilient routing is needed for WAN and DCI paths. It gives teams consistent MX behaviour without overcommitting cost or rack capacity.
Logistics organisations place the MX104 in depots and transport hubs to keep routed WAN services stable across cloud and back-office links. It works where comms rooms are small and operational disruption is costly.
Manufacturing teams deploy the MX104 at plant edges to connect OT areas and enterprise services through a compact routed design. It suits established industrial sites that need reliable segmentation without full chassis scale.
We can help design and deploy Juniper MX104 for telecoms, utilities, finance, logistics, and manufacturing sites, aligning the routing design to your space, resilience, and operational support requirements.
