Huawei NetEngine AR2220E Modular High‑Performance Multi‑Service Enterprise Router Full Product Description

1. Short Overview

Naming & Variant Breakdown

• AR2220E‑AC: Built‑in AC power supply standard version
• AR2220E‑DC: ‑48V DC power supply variant
• AR2220: Base‑performance predecessor model with lower forwarding throughput
• AR2240: Higher‑end 2U chassis model for larger‑scale branches

Difference vs AR2220: AR2220E adopts upgraded main‑board hardware with much higher packet forwarding and service throughput; identical physical slot resources (4×SIC, 2×WSIC, 1×DSP voice slot). It is standard commercial 19‑inch rack‑mount device. Operating temperature: 0 °C ~ +45 °C; DIN‑rail mounting not supported.

Core Differentiators

1. Standard 19‑inch 1U metal rack‑mount chassis, built‑in fan cooling, supports optional external RPS150 redundant power input for improved equipment reliability for long‑term enterprise operation.
2. 3 fixed GE ports (2×GE electrical, 1×GE Combo RJ45/SFP composite port); expansion resources: 4 × SIC slots, 2 × WSIC slots (expandable to maximum 4), 1 dedicated DSP voice slot, supporting diversified service cards for leased‑line, DSL, serial trunk, analog/digital voice and 4G‑LTE backup links.
3. All‑in‑one multi‑service convergence: routing, L2 switching, zone‑based firewall, full‑feature VPN suite, QoS scheduling, DSP‑driven VoIP gateway, embedded lightweight AC for Huawei Fit AP management.
4. Hardware‑accelerated encryption; complete enterprise‑grade security toolkit including AAA authentication and multi‑dimensional anti‑attack defense, capable of handling higher concurrent service traffic than AR2220.
5. Diversified deployment modes: CLI console, Mini‑USB console, Web‑UI, USB zero‑touch provisioning; supports batch configuration delivery, real‑time monitoring and remote firmware upgrade via eSight network management platform.
