IHS Markit: Huawei Router Ranks First in Carrier Market

[Shenzhen, China, October 25, 2019] IHS Markit, an authoritative international research institute, released a report on the global market share of routers in the first half of 2019. Huawei routers ranked first in the carrier market.

Huawei's routers have maintained their leading position in the first half of 2019, following their rise to the top of the carrier market in 2018. The data highlights Huawei's continuous innovation and self-improvement in the router field.

Huawei's Data Communication Product Line has been developing routers since 1995, and after 24 years of continuous R&D investment, Huawei has become a leading provider of intelligent IP networks. Its products and solutions have been deployed in more than 130 countries and regions. Huawei is committed to meeting customer requirements through its continuous technical innovation, and has led the industry and business in key technical areas such as segment routing IPv6 (SRv6), flexible Ethernet (FlexE), single-port 400GE, and cloud-based broadband network gateway (BNG). In 2016, Huawei launched NetEngine 9000, the industry's largest converged backbone router. In 2017, it launched the industry's first PAM4 50GE-based 5G transport slicing router. In 2018, the industry's first single-port 400GE was deployed for commercial use. In 2019, Huawei launched the industry's first intelligent metro router NetEngine 8000 for the 5G and cloud era. This is the first time SRv6 has been used commercially.

Huawei will continue to implement ultra-broadband, intelligent connections, and intelligent O&M into network construction, and innovate in fields such as chips, high-speed ports, network protocols, and intelligent O&M to help carriers build intelligent IP networks for the 5G and cloud era.
