The U.S. Department of Justice is suing to block HPE's proposed $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks, claiming it threatens competition in the WLAN market. HPE defends the acquisition, asserting the WLAN market is already dominated by Cisco, which holds 50% market share. Experts note that the DOJ's analysis presents a 'logic trap', misrepresenting the potential market impact. Analysts argue that HPE and Juniper can bolster competition against Cisco and Huawei, addressing national security concerns raised by both the Trump and Biden administrations.
HPE argues that its acquisition of Juniper will actually enhance competition, as the WLAN market is primarily dominated by Cisco and remains diverse with fractured rivals.
The DOJ's stance overlooks Cisco's 50% market share, which creates a 'logic trap', making it seem like HPE-Juniper will have more impact than reality suggests.
