HUAWEI ROUTER NETENGINE 8000 M SERIES

FEATURES

Compact universal service routers
The M Series emphasizes small form, shallow depth (220 mm), making them suitable even in tight or shallow cabinets.
Multi-scenario support
M routers are used for broadband access, private lines, mobile bearer, and cloud bearer services.
High density and performance in small chassis
Despite compact size, M8 supports multiple high-speed interfaces (100G, 10G, etc.) and high throughput.
Full-feature IOS / OS support
Runs Huawei’s full service and control features (e.g. SRv6, cross-service capabilities) consistent with the 8000 family.
