Huawei NE40E, CX600 and ATN router hardware and S-series switches

Switch model numbers describe the box. S5720-28X-SI-AC reads as series 5720, 28 ports, X for 10GE uplinks, SI for the software feature tier (LI, SI, EI, HI in ascending order), AC for the power supply. P or PWR indicates PoE. CloudEngine CE6850-48S6Q-HI reads as 48 SFP+ ports and 6 QSFP+ ports. Router names give chassis and slot count — NE40E-X8 has eight line-card slots — with the card population ordered separately. ATN numbers give the platform tier: 910 is a cell-site gateway, 950 an aggregation node. The eight-digit 02-series code is the ordering reference where one is quoted.

For switches state the exact model string including feature tier and power variant, the quantity, and whether you need the licence-bearing software version. For routers state the chassis, the line cards and their slots, the software release and the interface count. For ATN give the exact model and the ring configuration it joins. Huawei enforces board and release dependencies on routers; we confirm before quoting. Condition is stated per quotation — new, new-surplus or refurbished — and where a destination does not admit used network equipment (Algeria is the usual example) we quote new. Hardware only: software licensing remains between the buyer and the manufacturer. Destination type approval and import permits (CST/SABER, TDRA, ICASA, CA, CMC, ARPCE) are the buyer's responsibility and we will say so on the quotation.

S5720 is end-of-sale and supplied new-surplus or refurbished; S5731, S5735, S6730 and CloudEngine remain current and are sourced new. NE40E-X series remains in production; NE8000 is current. ATN 910C and 950B remain widely available. Software licensing for any Huawei network element remains between the buyer and Huawei.
