Juniper buys Acorn Packet Solutions

Michael Hardy writes in FCW.com:

Juniper Networks has acquired Acorn Packet Solutions in a deal intended to sweeten Juniper's network technologies for federal customers.

Acorn develops technologies to connect legacy time-division multiplexing applications across new IP networks. TDM is a data transmission technology that sends multiple streams of data through a single circuit. Acorn's products enable systems using the legacy technology to interact with IP networks.

Acorn's solutions, which also apply to other circuit-based technologies such as serial encryption, allow agencies to continue to use the older systems while making the migration to IP networks.
