The NetEngine AR8700 series routers are Huawei's egress routers designed for large campuses, employing ARM multi-core processors and a non-blocking switching architecture. Primarily used in SD-WAN solutions, the AR8700 series routers provide enterprise customers with the high performance and high reliability required. They are widely used in industries such as finance, government, energy, and retail.

1. High-performance SD-WAN
• 24 Gbps SD-WAN IPSec performance (IMIX)
2. High reliability
• The control plane and forwarding plane are separated, and services are physically isolated and do not affect each other.
• Supports dual controllers, hot-swapping ensures uninterrupted service.
• 1:1 power supply ratio and 2+1 redundant fan design ensure more reliable power supply and heat dissipation.
