The successful bid signifies further engagement of the digital solutions provider in the construction of China Mobile’s centralized network cloud resource pools, and consolidates its sound partnership with the major telecom operator.

The rapid development of 5G networks has stimulated a new wave of new infrastructure construction. As a result, carriers’ demand for high-end router upgrading and expansion has grown day by day. China Mobile, the largest carrier in the world, has been devoted to promoting cloudization on all kinds of networks. As the underlying hardware infrastructure for network functions virtualization, resource pools are the foundation of the carrier’s 5G-related services.

Thanks to its continuous input into the development of high-end routers, H3C, a leader in digital solutions, has become a reliable supplier of major products for carriers’ IP networks. Its high-end router CR16010H-FA, which recently won the bid for China Mobile’s network cloud resource pool phase III project, features high reliability, scalability, and powerful processing capabilities, and can adapt to complex application scenarios and meet users’ different needs.

As a leading supplier of network equipment, H3C boasts a wide variety of switches, with the data rates of their ports ranging from 10G to 400G. Many of the company’s switches have been shortlisted in the recent bidding, including S6850-56HF, its independently-developed high-density intelligent 25G access switch oriented to cloud data center and cloud computing network, and S12500F-A, H3C’s core switch designed for cloud computing data center. Adopting the advanced CLOS+ multi-grade multi-plane architecture, S12500F-A is able to offer high performance and rich cloud computing features to users. The company’s S6900-54QF-F convergence Ethernet switch, which has logged the largest purchasing volume in the recently awarded bid, supports enhanced L2/L3 software feature sets including data center features, and provides the most flexible and dynamic combination of 40GE and 10 gigabit ports of compact convergence switches.

Guided by its Cloud & AI Native strategy and “Digital Brain 2021”, H3C will continue increasing input into the research and development of technologies and giving full play to its professional advantages, so as to provide carriers with better products and services. By working together with carriers, it will empower relevant applications in the government and enterprise sector, build an ecosystem for win-win cooperation, unleash the value of 5G technology in an all-round way, and promote the development of digital economy in the era of 5G.
