As organizations continue to derive business value from their unified communications (UC) deployments, they must architect their networks to support the convergence of wired and wireless technologies. To make it easier for customers to deploy Microsoft Lync with the assurance of seamless interoperability, Juniper Networks(NYSE:JNPR) has worked with Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT). And Juniper Networks has announced that it has received Microsoft Lync qualification for both its wired and wireless campus portfolio.

Juniper Networks WLC880 Wireless LAN Controllers and WLA532 Wireless LAN Access Points support Microsoft Lync audio capabilities for mobile voice services at Microsoft AV branch locations and factory sites.
Denise Shiffman, VP of Product Management and Strategy, Campus and Data Center Business Unit, Juniper Networks, said, “As the first networking company qualified by Microsoft to meet the system level requirements of Microsoft Lync across both our wired and wireless portfolio, customers like Milestone AV can deploy a comprehensive UC solution with assurance that they deliver an exceptional user experience.”
"Juniper Networks has successfully achieved Microsoft Lync qualification for its WLAN solutions, making it the first networking vendor to be independently qualified for both its wired and wireless solutions. With this new development, enterprises can now deploy Microsoft Lync with the assurance of seamless integration with their Juniper Networks solution, while delivering a consistent user experience across PCs, tablets and mobile devices," said BJ Haberkorn, Director - Product Marketing, Microsoft Lync.
Because of this qualification, Milestone AV Technologies has selected Juniper Networks wired, wireless and security products for its campus and data center environments to power its Microsoft Lync-based UC deployment.
