24TH of December 2013 – BARQ Systems today announced that it has achieved North Africa Service Provider Partner of the Year 2013 by Juniper Networks, the industry leader in network innovation. The annual awards, made at Juniper’s recent Middle East & Africa regional partner summit in Dubai, U.A.E., recognize partners who have made the most notable contribution to their customers and so grown their business value with Juniper throughout 2013.

“According to some independent market analysis, the MEA region is expected to have one of the fastest-growing Internet penetration rates globally, so effective, secure high-performance networking is a key business driver for service providers and enterprises in the North Africa region,” said Mario Georgiou, area partner director for Juniper Networks, Middle East & Africa. “Because we operate an indirect go-to-market model, Juniper’s channel partners are fundamentally important to our customers’ experience and Juniper’s success. BARQ Group was a great example of effective partnership to build the best networks for our shared customers in 2013. ”

“BARQ Systems is extremely honored to receive this award from Juniper Networks. 2013 was a year of growth in the Service Provider Sector due to the significant demand on connectivity and Internet access for individuals and business alike.
