Public sector contracts

Public sector contracts

For many Public Sector entities, the process of procuring network equipment can be as complex and challenging as it is vital to their mission.

However, if your organization's procurement policies include U.S. public sector contracts, you can likely benefit from already negotiated statewide, local, cooperative procurement, or consortium-level contracts. Buying through these contracts can save you time and help you get the best value at competitive prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Juniper’s AI-Native K-12 Networking solutions help schools build their campus network for the next decade, creating a foundation for learning that is secure and self-driving. Juniper Mist AI offers nonstop, limitless scalability with reliable, predictable connectivity that enables educators to deliver instruction, students to learn, and supports operations that ensure student and campus safety.

Just because a network is up and running does not mean your users are having a good experience. The network is central to student learning, instruction, online assessment, and situational awareness, so it must be managed for quality, not merely connectivity. Using Mist, more than 120 pre- and post-connection states are tracked, giving every school network administrator awareness at any moment into whether a teacher, student, or staff is having a good or bad user experience. Bad conditions are immediately diagnosed and accurately identified for administrators and, where possible, automatically corrected—often before the user notices an issue.

Juniper’s AI-Native Networking is comprised of Juniper EX Series Ethernet and QFX Series switches for the wired infrastructure, Mist Wireless Access Points for the wireless infrastructure, and Juniper SRX Series Firewalls. For mission-critical, high performance school districts, our internet gateways, Juniper MX Series Universal Routers, are the platform of choice. Juniper Mist Wi-Fi Assurance, Juniper Mist Wired Assurance, Juniper Marvis® Virtual Network Assistant, and Juniper Mist Access Assurance are Mist services built on a modern microservices cloud architecture to help deliver exceptional user and device experiences supporting digital learning and superior AI for IT operations (AIOps). For districts with limited IT staffing, Juniper Mist AIOps has helped some experience up to 90% fewer networking trouble tickets, up to 85% reduction in networking OpEx, and up to 50% less time to reach networking incident resolution.

E-Rate Category One projects require upgrading network equipment to boost broadband connection capacity while E-Rate Category Two projects seek to modernize the district’s campus wired, wireless, and security infrastructure. Whatever your need, Juniper has E-Rate-eligible solutions to fulfill the needs of applicants, from a single-school campus to large school districts and libraries. Juniper E-Rate-eligible solutions enable affordable broadband connections and are cost-competitive, helping applicants maximize their budgets. Equally important, the Juniper Mist network solution gives applicants the advantage with lower and unmatched OpEx through AIOps. Applicants experience faster deployment, fewer networking trouble tickets, reduced operational complexity, and faster time to resolve networking issues.
