Huawei AR1200 series enterprise routers are next-generation enterprise-class routers based on the Huawei proprietary Versatile Routing Platform (VRP). They build on Huawei's record of leadership in data communication and networking to provide industry-l

Category: Router

 

The AR1200 supports optional interface cards, including: Ethernet, E1/T1/PRI/VE, synchronous/asynchronous, ADSL2+, G.SHDSL, and VDSL, ISDN, EPON and GPON, and E&M interface cards. These cards are classified into SIC (Smart Interface Card) cards and WSIC (Double-Width SIC) cards depending on slot type. The primary interface cards are shown and described in the table below.

Note: For more information about interface cards, please refer to Ordering Guide.

 

 

Key Features and Benefits

Applications in one box, Reduce TCO

The AR1200 reduces equipment and deployment costs via the integration of routing, switching and security functions in a single device. At the same time, The AR1200 realizes enterprises flexible access with rich interfaces adapting to a variety of terminals. Secure Service Access Protects Networks and Users

3G

l Compliance with 3G standards, including CDMA2000 EV-DO, and WCDMA, means flexible network access.

l Network Quality Analyzer (NQA) monitors the link real-time status to meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

l Security VPN over 3G links ensures reliable service transmission.

LTE

 

l 100M LTE enterprise access solutions, high bandwidth experience

 

l Support for transition from 3G networks to LTE networks protects customer investment.

2. Wired Access Modes

 

Access Mode

Description

Fiber

l Gigabit Ethernet optical interfaces allow flexible network access.

 

l 10Gbps bandwidth meets the transmission requirements of bandwidth-intensive services.

 

l EPON and GPON interface cards are supported.

Copper cable

l Support for various interfaces, including xDSL interfaces, E1/T1 interfaces, serial ports, and ISDN interfaces, protects customer investment.

l Choice of uplink access rates from 64 kbps to 1 Gbps.

l PoE support on Ethernet interfaces facilitates installation of powered devices by providing power over twisted pair cables.

Better Experience, Business Continuity

Multi-cores architecture, Industry-Leading performance

The AR1200 uses a multi-core CPU and non-blocking switching structure to provide industry-leading system performance, meeting enterprise requirements for network expansion and service deployment.

l The multi-core CPU speeds up concurrent data service processing so customers can deploy a large number of services.

l Achieves maximum traffic throughput with non-blocking switching.

l Delivers high performance and service reliability through independent protocol management, service processing, and data switching.


l Simplifies device configuration and maintenance by integrating routing and switching functions, improving data switching efficiency between interface cards.

Low cost, High reliability

To guarantee the reliability of the equipment layer and network layer, the AR1200 series support hot-swap technology, a series of fault detection and judgment mechanisms, which can shorten the service interruption time.

l Assure service reliability and network stability with hot-swappable interface cards and redundant components, such as fan modules.

l Link backup for enterprise services improves reliability.

l MS level Fault detection mechanisms, shorten the service interruption time.

Intelligent Service Deployment

As the enterprise grows, requirements for new service deployments increase. To meet the demands of a growing enterprise, the AR1200 provides convenient configuration options:

l Use the mini-USB port to configure the devices using a GUI.

l Use a USB drive to configure devices for plug-and-play.

l Use the auto-config feature to automatically distribute configurations to devices.

Cooperation platform, On Demand applications

Open Service Platform, Enterprise-level APP

The AR1200 provides a unified communication solution for enterprise customers. It uses the Open Service Platform (OSP) to interconnect with third-party IT systems. Customers, agents, third-party vendors, and manufacturers can develop and use the AR1200 as required.

l Integrate and customize services quickly.

l Reduces costs and simplifies management as service integration does not require dedicated servers.

l Services are synchronized with cloud-side services, and local services processed locally, which improves service quality and efficiency.

Standard MIB provided by VRP, Simplified Network and Device Management

The AR1200 routers make network and device management simple:

l Manage devices easily with the Huawei eSight network management system.

l Monitor links in real time using the NQA feature.

l View traffic characteristics and statistics to maintain peak network performance using the NetStream feature.
