Juniper Networks earlier this month announced it will stop selling its G-series Cable Modem Terminations Systems (CMTS) products and will instead forge a partnership with former competitor Arris Group. Used by cable network providers, CMTS offerings are used to transfer data between providers and their customers. Chris Bridge, cable segment marketing manager for Juniper in Sunnyvale, Calif. said that Juniper dropped the line in order to increase the company's ability to provide more effective solutions to cable companies - from being an end-to-end vendor in the cable space to a more supporting role. Sixty-five of Juniper's employees will be laid off as result of dropping the G- series, and these layoffs will occur mainly at the company's headquarters and at its office in Paris.
