As part of the event, Ajay Gupta, director of marketing at Huawei’s Enterprise Group announced two product series at the ICT Carnival including the S12700 series agile switches and the new generation of enterprise-level 802.11ac access points (APs). The two products are part of Huawei’s Enterprise Networking Product Line, which provide the most complete portfolio of enterprise network products in the world, and include routers, switches, WLAN, network security, optical transmission, microwave, PON and network management products.
With a design that was developed to enhance business services and the experience of users, the Huawei S12700 switches support higher reliability and larger Ethernet frames. Featuring automatic network deployment and management, the series also supports end-to-end (E2E) security collaboration with the flexibility for fast-changing services and full programmability. In addition, the S12700 switches feature Huawei’s Ethernet Network Processor (ENP) chips, the industry’s first programmable chipsets dedicated for Ethernet forwarding and are cost-effective, have low power consumption, and provide high performance. The switches also provide native T-bit AC capabilities and the BRAS unified user management feature that integrates wired and the wireless networks. It adopts the iPCA algorithm, which can monitor network quality for any service flow at any network node, at any time, and without extra costs, detecting temporary service interruptions within one second and can identify faulty ports accurately.
Huawei’s new generation of enterprise-level 802.11ac APs includes the 7030DE, 5130DN, and the 5030DN, which helps enterprises construct high-speed, high-density wireless networks.
