The Juniper Session Smart™ Router takes software-defined routing and SD-WAN to a new level. It creates an application-aware network fabric that meets the most stringent enterprise performance, security, and availability requirements.
The router overcomes inherent inefficiencies and cost constraints of conventional solutions with breakthrough economics and simplicity. Deploy it as software on customer premises equipment (CPE), on data center network servers, and in the cloud. An appliance version for branch sites offers multiple WAN link options, including 4G/LTE and 5G. The Session Smart Router is centrally manageable using the AI-driven Juniper Mist Cloud or the Juniper Session Smart Conductor platform.

Features + Benefits
Optimized for User Experience
The only product in the industry with a network routing fabric expressly designed to connect users with unparalleled experiences, not just connect devices.
Breakthrough Economics
Tunnel-less architecture enables up to 75 percent reduction in headend infrastructure costs and 30 to 50 percent reduction in bandwidth costs.
Visibility and Insights
Delivers richer and more granular services and sessions than packet-based router solutions.
Zero Trust Security
The session-aware fabric integrates secure vector routing with zero trust access control, directionality, and segmentation policy.
Scale and Speed
Routing fabric rapidly scales to thousands of sites while accelerating service deployment through centralized orchestration of global policies.
Agility
Session-smart fabric maintains session, tenant, and dynamic workload context end to end, making the network more responsive to underlay conditions.
Application-Based Control
Supports load balancing and traffic steering based on session policies and network status.
Centralized Cloud Management
Simplifies deployment with easy claim-code zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), operated from the Mist AI Cloud.
