To support our rapidly growing residential telecom business, we have opted to deploy NetEngine 9000 (NE9000) core router, a next generation core network backbone solution developed by Huawei. With a capacity estimated at 6 times that of our previous network equipment, NE9000 promises to meet our business development needs for the next 5 to 10 years. We are perfectly positioned to deliver reliable ultra-high speed network connectivity for our customers in the face of soaring demand for 4K OTT entertainment, online gaming and Internet of Things applications.

We are the world’s first telecom operator to use Huawei NE9000. The core router posts leading-edge performance in equipment capacity, expandability and energy efficiency. It comes with 4Tbps line card capabilities, 80Tbps per chassis which greatly increases the equipment capacity on the live network, and is capable of supporting 8Tbps line card in the future. In line with more eco-friendly performance, the NE9000 delivers high energy efficiency at only 0.4W/G, representing an energy consumption reduction by two-third. It also effectively cuts down the forwarding costs, allowing us to continue to provide Internet service at very competitive prices. After an initial series of rigorous testing, NE9000 is currently used to deploy services for our residential business.
