Justice Department Sues to Block Hewlett Packard Enterprise's Proposed $14 Billion Acquisition of Rival Wireless Networking Technology Provider Juniper Networks

01/30/2025 07:00 AM EST

The Justice Department today sued to block Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.'s (HPE) proposed $14 billion acquisition of rival wireless local area network (WLAN) technology provider Juniper Networks Inc. (Juniper). HPE and Juniper are the second- and third- largest providers, respectively, of enterprise-grade WLAN solutions in the United States. The complaint, filed in the Northern District of California, alleges that the proposed transaction would eliminate fierce head-to-head competition between the companies, raise prices, reduce innovation, and diminish choice for scores of American businesses and institutions, in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act.
