HPE plans to "vigorously defend" Juniper Networks deal as DoJ files suit to block acquisition
Briefly

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is facing a legal challenge from the US Department of Justice aimed at blocking its $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks. The DoJ argues that the merger would harm competition in the wireless local area network (WLAN) market, where HPE and Juniper are the second and third largest suppliers, respectively. Concerns center on reduced innovation and increased costs for businesses relying on wireless technology, as competitive pressure from Juniper has historically led to lower prices. HPE intends to contest the suit vigorously, emphasizing its commitment to innovation.
HPE recognizes the significant role that competition plays in driving innovation and cost-effectiveness in the wireless technology sector.
The merger's threat to existing competition could result in businesses paying more for less in wireless technology.
