Huawei presents access router at Cebit 2011

The AR G3 access router adopts the latest third-generation router architecture and supports mobile and fixed wide-area-network (WAN) access.

With a rapid increase in the demand for enterprise services, such as enterprise video, voice and security services, the IP network has become a unified platform for all information and communication technology (ICT) services.

To be able to provide full information technology (IT) services, enterprises need to establish an efficient ICT system as a key part of their communications infrastructure.

Li Weishi, president of the enterprise network product line at Huawei, said: 'As an interface that bridges the enterprise network and the external network, the access router plays an important part in an enterprise network.

'Based on our insights into IT and telecom services, Huawei launched the AR G3 access router for enterprises to support multi-services.

'The AR G3 access router uses the industry-leading architecture, offering innovative features for various enterprise networks, which could meet enterprise demands for a high-performance router,' added Weishi.

The AR G3 access router uses multi-core central processing units (CPUs) and a non-blocking switching architecture and provides a 3Mpps processing performance and an 80Gb/s switching capacity.

The multi-core and multi-thread technologies process services effectively and the non-blocking architecture improves bus-based forwarding performance, thereby ensuring the service quality, according to the company.

The AR G3 access router provides comprehensive wireless and fixed network interfaces, enabling flexible networking in an enterprise.

It supports various 3G (CDMA2000/WCDMA/TD-SCDMA) standards to provide wireless connections for mobile offices.

The device also has various wired interfaces such as ETH, E1, XDSL and XPON (can scale to 10 G PON), offering flexible access for all terminals anytime and anywhere.

The AR G3 router integrates services such as UC, multimedia gateway, Ethernet switch, anti-attack, antivirus and internet access management and provides full protection to ensure the secure access of services.

It can meet the requirements for one-stop offices in enterprises with one to 500 staff and offices in large enterprise branches.
