AR150&200 Series Enterprise Routers
AR150&200 Series routers use the embedded hardware encryption technique and support the voice Digital Signal Processor (DSP). In addition, they support firewall, call processing, and application program functionalities. The AR150&200 series includes: the AR151, AR156, AR157, AR158E, AR201, AR206, AR207, AR207V, AR207V-P, AR207G-HSPA+7 and AR208E, whose appearances and specifications are shown in the following table.

1. Compact Size with High Performance
- More applications: Huawei series routers use the dual-core processor that isolates the control plane from the forwarding plane and processes more enterprise applications. Huawei series routers improve user experience for multimedia service when streams overlap.
- Higher performance: The AR150&200 can process various enterprise applications, and its service processing capability is four times that in the industry.
- Greater potential: Huawei series routers provide the capability to migrate services to the 3G and LTE networks.
2 Low Investment with High Returns
- Easy to construct: The AR150&200 supports plug-and-play, intelligent configuration, and deployment using the USB flash drive. It can function immediately after being installed. Users do not need to configure an IP address manually. The PPP and VPN indicators show the status of corresponding services. The AR150&200 helps to quickly construct an enterprise IT network.
- Simplified solution: Huawei provides an all-around solution that integrates the routing, switching, voice, security, and wireless services. Customers can customize solutions as required.
- Easy to expand: Huawei series routers have eight FE ports(except AR150 series), can access more employee for small enterprises. The two uplink WAN ports implement load balancing and link protection, maximizing the return on investments.
3 Small Product on a Comprehensive Platform
- Maturity and Stableness: The AR150&200 uses the Huawei VRP operating system and VSP voice platform. In addition, the AR150&200 uses modularized hardware design, which brings good user experience.
- Low-noise office: Huawei series routers have no fan, which brings low noise and good user experience.
- Secure environment: The lightning failure rate of AR150&200 is only 3% of industry average. The AR150&200 can be applied in the harsh environment.
1 WAN Access
AR150&200 Series routers function as the egress routers on enterprise branch networks and provide flexible access methods to ensure remote network connections. The access modes include Ethernet, xDSL, 3G and WLAN (already planned in the roadmap). AR150&200 Series routers reduce deployment and maintenance costs while offering maximum value to customers.
2 High-Quality Voice Service
Apart from functioning as a voice service gateway for enterprises, AR150&200 Series routers can also be used as an IP PBX or an SIP access gateway.
Figure 1. IP PBX application
AR150&200 Series routers have built-in PBX, which supports the enterprise main number, interactive voice response (IVR), and bill query functions for enhanced corporate image and improved enterprise communication efficiency. AR150&200 Series routers are deployed at enterprise branches to provide the intelligent dialing function. When a fault occurs on the WAN, the backup PSTN network ensures the continuity of call services. AR150&200 Series routers also provide a built-in SIP server. When the SIP server at the headquarters is unreachable, the built-in SIP server ensures uninterrupted communication between branches and between branches and the PSTN network. This ensures reliability of voice services.
Figure 2. SIP gateway application
AR150&200 Series routers integrate voice, fax, and IP services. When telecom carriers deploy voice services for enterprises, AR150&200 Series routers can function as the SIP access gateway for enterprise branches to transform phone signals into voice over IP (VoIP) signals. AR150&200 Series routers connect upstream to the IMS/NGN network to allow for anytime voice communication on any media, such as phones, handsets, and PCs.
3 VPN for Enterprise Branches
AR150&200 Series routers provide various secure access functions to ensure secure communication between enterprise branches and between branches and the headquarters, and to enable partners to access enterprise resources. Tunnels such as GRE VPN, IPSEC VPN, DSVPN, L2TP VPN and SSL VPN tunnels are set up between the headquarters and branches to implement secure data access and transmission. AR150&200 Series routers also support fast tunnel set-up and authentication for branches. Using remote tunnels, partners can flexibly access enterprise resources. All these ensure the security and sharing of enterprise resources.
