On July 22, 2020, at the Huawei Network Innovation Technology Forum 2020 Beijing, Huawei announced the successful commercialization of the industry's first enterprise 5G router, the 5G AR. The 5G AR router provides a digital infrastructure for various industries, such as finance, healthcare, electric power, and retail, and in the future, it will open up a new era of enterprise interconnection, accelerating the process of enterprise intelligence and digitalization.
With the arrival of the 5G era, thousands of industries are accelerating their digital transformation, and cutting-edge technologies such as AI, IoT, and AR/VR are coming into people's lives and work. The emergence of these innovative technologies has led to a tens of times increase in enterprise wide-area bandwidth, and the bandwidth of the 2~4Mbps dedicated lines usually used by traditional enterprises can hardly meet the demand. In addition, how to guarantee the quality experience of these applications and services will put forward more refined control requirements for enterprise branch exit routers. However, the performance of traditional routers tends to drop rapidly after the opening of complex business processing functions, and it is particularly urgent to solve the problem of insufficient performance.
Huawei's 5G AR router focuses on the core requirements of enterprise intelligent upgrading and digital transformation for wide-area network construction, and builds a high-speed and high-quality wide-area network by virtue of the three major features of "5G Super Uplink," "3x industry performance," and "5G SD-WAN.
5G Super Uplink: Huawei's 5G AR adopts Huawei's original 5G Super Uplink technology, which leverages patents such as FDD/TDD high- and low-frequency aggregation, and full time-slot uplink to increase the 5G uplink rate by 20 to 60% on top of standard bandwidth, which is more than a hundred-fold compared to the traditional private line, and enables cloud-based and AI-based services to easily access each other.
Internet Financial Services is a new technology that allows for easy interoperability.
Triple industry performance: 5G AR innovatively adopts the heterogeneous forwarding architecture of multi-core CPU+NP, which is a major technological change in the field of forwarding technology for enterprise branch routers. The NP network processor quickly offloads L2-L4 layer traffic to achieve high-speed forwarding of basic services; it also integrates five hardware acceleration engines, including IPSec, HQoS, SEC, application recognition, and application optimization. Huawei's 5G AR forwarding performance is up to three times that of the industry and has passed Tolly's authoritative tests.
5G SD-WAN: Huawei's 5G AR fully supports SD-WAN functionality. With wired and wireless hybrid link networking, and application-level intelligent routing technology, it can quickly identify key applications in the network, detect the quality of the applications in real time, and realize intelligent tuning of network paths to increase bandwidth utilization to 90%. The technology ensures zero packet loss for critical services, providing customers with the best service experience.
China Construction Bank adopted Huawei's 5G AR router and SD-WAN solution to build a high-speed, high-quality, and intelligent wide-area interconnection network for the world's first new concept of 5G+ smart bank. With the 5G AR router, it brings a high-speed 5G experience; using software-defined SD-WAN technology, link resource pooling, unified scheduling, and improved bandwidth utilization; intelligent routing and optimization of applications to ensure zero interruption of critical applications; plug-and-play equipment, automated service deployment and issuance, and minute-to-minute service on-line.
China Construction Bank said: "5G + intelligent banking is a new form of banking services that integrates new technology applications such as 5G and business innovation, representing the trend of future bank outlets. This joint Huawei 5G AR router builds a high-speed, high-quality and intelligent network for the 5G+ smart bank to ensure a quality experience of innovative financial services in the outlets. 5G+ smart bank innovation is far from stopping, and the pace of financial technology innovation of the Construction Bank never stops, and the Construction Bank will move forward on the road of future development."
Gu Xiongfei, President of Huawei's Wide Area Networking domain, said, "China Construction Bank, as a leader in emerging financial technology, has creatively made bank outlets the front line of customer marketing services. Huawei is pleased to provide network support for CCB's 5G+ Smart Banking to expand more financial business scenarios. Huawei is committed to helping customers build an ultra-wide, stable, and secure wide-area interconnected network that meets the needs of the 5G era, further enhancing the efficiency and experience of enterprise digital transformation."
With the leading edge brought by Huawei's innovative new 5G technologies, Huawei 5G AR will continue to provide customers with competitive enterprise wide-area interconnected network solutions, and through joint innovation with ecological partners, help customers move towards a higher level of development and realize new business success.
