Take note that the ludicrously cheap prices only apply if its end-to-end Hauwei: i.e. If you plug pne piece of Hauwei kit into another.

If you add non-Hauwei kit, you not only have to buy the more expensive gear but you also have to buy a more expensive licence for the protocol on the Huawei kit.

Source: adding SMSCs, GMLCs, SMLCs, etc to HW networks.

Yes I work in this space too, and as a 3P vendor their monolothic architecture concerns me greatly. Note that this approach goes directly against the spirit of the GSM “culture” (for want of a better term) of modularity to date.
