It boasts high performance, low power consumption, and evolvability, and its leading SRv6 technology enables intelligent network connectivity. It can be applied to core nodes of enterprise wide area networks, access nodes of large enterprises, interconnection and aggregation nodes of campuses, and various large-scale IDC network exits.
NetEngine40E boasts leading technology and stable performance, has won numerous international gold awards, and is widely deployed in various industries such as power, transportation, government, broadcasting, and finance.

1. Extra-wide 2T single board
Industry-leading ultra-wide 2T single board, capable of evolving to 400G ports and 4T single boards in the future, enabling high-capacity service carrying and meeting future bandwidth growth demands.
2. Leading commercial SDN capabilities
Based on an innovative SDN architecture and industry-leading MPLS and bare IP network optimization technologies, this solution addresses issues such as uneven network traffic load, low bandwidth utilization, and repeated network topology calculations during faults, which negatively impact network convergence efficiency.
3. Intelligent Operation and Maintenance
Leveraging performance management tools such as NCE, and based on SDN principles, this solution utilizes a controller to schedule network traffic paths. IP networking provides visualization of network topology and link bandwidth utilization, offering traffic analysis, visualization, and traffic scheduling capabilities.
