US EditionUS Justice Department settles antitrust case for HPE's $14 billion takeover of Juniper
UNITED STATES, JUN 28 – HPE agreed to divest its Instant On wireless business and license Juniper's Mist AI software to maintain competition, enabling the $14 billion deal to finalize after DOJ scrutiny.
- In early July, Hewlett Packard Enterprise finalized its $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks after settling a DOJ lawsuit.
- Following the January 2025 DOJ lawsuit over competition fears, the settlement, announced in late June, requires HPE to divest its wireless business and license AI software to address market concerns.
- Specifically, HPE must divest its Instant On WLAN business and license Mist AI source code within 180 days, addressing regulatory concerns through divestiture and licensing conditions.
- Following the settlement, HPE and Juniper prepare to finalize the deal in coming weeks, with July 9 trial avoided and regulatory approval pending.
- Beyond the immediate deal, the settlement positions HPE to compete more strongly with Cisco by doubling its networking business and expanding AI and cloud capabilities.
