Huawei NE40 Series – High-Performance Service Routers
Bringing technology full circle
The Huawei NE40 Series delivers scalable, high-performance IP routing for carrier and enterprise networks.
Designed for the edge and aggregation layers of large-scale infrastructures, the NE40 combines reliability, flexibility, and efficiency — supporting the continuous evolution toward 5G, cloud, and broadband networks.
At PICS Telecom, we supply both refurbished and new Huawei NE40 routers, helping operators extend the lifecycle of proven assets, optimise performance, and reduce environmental impact through responsible reuse and recycling.
Understanding the Huawei NE40 Series
The NE40 Series supports advanced IP/MPLS services across a wide range of deployment scenarios, from metro aggregation to core-edge routing.
Popular models include:
- NE40E-X3 / X8 / X16: Modular systems with scalable line cards supporting 10G, 40G, and 100G interfaces.
- NE40E-X8A / X16A: Enhanced performance versions designed for large-scale aggregation and IP edge applications.
Each system provides flexible service delivery, redundant architecture, and advanced traffic management, ensuring consistent performance in mission-critical environments.
Performance and Scalability
The Huawei NE40 Series is designed for future-ready IP networking, combining scale and efficiency with integrated service intelligence:
- High-Density Interfaces: Support for 10GE, 40GE, and 100GE line cards.
- Terabit-Scale Capacity: Ideal for aggregation and core-edge applications.
- Advanced Routing and MPLS: Supports segment routing, L3VPN, L2VPN, and QoS.
- Energy-Efficient Architecture: Intelligent cooling and modular power supplies minimise consumption.
With built-in SDN readiness and advanced automation, the NE40 ensures consistent, secure, and sustainable network performance.
Supporting the Circular Economy
The Huawei NE40 Series aligns seamlessly with PICS Telecom’s circular economy principles — extending product life and minimising waste across global networks.
- Lifecycle Extension: Refurbished and re-certified NE40 systems extend operational value well beyond OEM depreciation cycles.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: Reuse prevents functional hardware from entering landfill.
- Zero Waste to Landfill: End-of-life components processed under R2v3, WEELABEX, and Valpak standards.
- Sustainable Procurement: Refurbished hardware reduces embodied carbon and manufacturing demand.
By sourcing Huawei NE40 routers through PICS Telecom, operators meet both performance and ESG objectives — achieving financial efficiency and sustainability in equal measure.
