Feature Descriptions
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standards
As the latest generation Wi-Fi standards of IEEE 802.11, 802.11ax improves user experience in high-density access
scenarios and supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands.
UL/DL MU-MIMO on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, allowing an AP to transmit data to and receive data
from multiple STAs simultaneously and multiplying the utilization of radio spectrum resources
1024QAM modulation, improving data transmission efficiency by 25% compared with 802.11ac (256QAM).
The dual-radio mode is recommended in scenarios dominated by high-bandwidth services to provide ultra-large throughput
of more than 10 Gbps.
The triple-radio mode is recommended in high-density access or high-concurrency scenarios to allow more users to get
access to the network.
The dual-radio + independent dual-band scanning mode is recommended in scenarios where the network status and
interference need to be monitored in real time. In this mode, the network quality is monitored and optimized in real time through
independent dual-band scanning with no sacrifice of the user access performance and user throughput.
In large-scale networking, APs working in different radio modes can be deployed. This practice is well suited to different
service scenarios and traffic types, effectively improving the network-wide performance and reducing the total cost of operation
(TCO).
MU-MIMO
The AP supports a maximum of 16 spatial streams: four spatial streams for the 2.4 GHz radio and 12 spatial streams for 5 GHz
radios. UL/DL MU-MIMO technology enables an AP to send data to multiple STAs simultaneously, which doubles the radio
spectrum resource usage, increases the number of access users and bandwidth, and improves user experience in high-density
access scenarios.
Smart antenna
The AP equipped with the dual-band smart antenna array and intelligent switchover algorithm can intelligently detect the
application environment and access density, achieving more accurate signal coverage and interference suppression. In addition,
each smart antenna has four elements that are controlled by a high-frequency electronic switch to achieve better performance.
This design helps provide the optimal signal coverage direction and signal quality for each mobile access STA, bringing
seamless and smooth wireless network access experience to the users.
Load balancing during smart roaming: The load balancing algorithm can work during smart roaming for load balancing
detection among APs on the network after STA roaming to adjust the STA load on each AP, improving network stability.
In high-density scenarios where many users access the network, increased number of low-rate STAs consumes more
resources on the air interface, reduces the AP capacity, and lowers user experience. Therefore, Huawei APs will check the
signal strength of STAs during access and rejects access from weak-signal STAs. At the same time, the APs monitor the rate of
online STAs in real time and forcibly disconnect low-rate STAs so that the STAs can reassociate with APs that have stronger
signals. The terminal access control technology can increase air interface use efficiency and allow access from more users.
The APs support both 2.4G and 5G frequency bands. The 5GHz-prior access function enables an AP to steer STAs to the
5 GHz frequency band first, which reduces load and interference on the 2.4 GHz frequency band, improving the user experience.
The APs support WEP, WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA3-SAE*, WPA/WPA2-PPSK, WPA/WPA2/WPA3*-802.1x, and WAPI
authentication/encryption modes to ensure security of the wireless network. The authentication mechanism is used to
authenticate user identities so that only authorized users can access network resources. The encryption mechanism is used to
encrypt data transmitted over wireless links to ensure that the data can only be received and parsed by expected users.
Huawei APs can analyze the spectrum of non-Wi-Fi interference sources and identify them, including baby monitors,
Bluetooth devices, digital cordless phones (at 2.4 GHz frequency band only), wireless audio transmitters (at both the 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz frequency bands), wireless game controllers, and microwave ovens. Coupled with Huawei NCE-Campus, the precise
locations of the interference sources can be detected, and the spectrum of them displayed, enabling the administrator to remove
the interference in a timely manner.
Huawei APs support WIDS/WIPS, and can monitor, identify, defend, counter, and perform refined management on the
rogue devices, to provide security guarantees for air interface environment and wireless data transmission.
The AP access control ensures validity of APs. The CAPWAP link protection and DTLS/IPsec encryption provide security
assurance, improving data transmission security between the AP and the AC.
Traffic identification
Coupled with Huawei WLAN ACs, the APs can identify over 6000 common applications in various office scenarios. Based
on the identification results, policy control can be implemented on user services, including priority adjustment, scheduling,
blocking, and rate limiting to ensure efficient bandwidth resource use and improve quality of key services.
Traffic statistics of each application can be collected globally, by SSID, or by user, enabling the network administrator to
know application use status on the network. The network administrator or operator can implement visualized control on service
applications on smart terminals to enhance security and ensure effective bandwidth control.
IoT extension
The AP has a built-in IoT module and provides a more stable PCIE port, achieving flexible extension of IoT protocols, such as
RFID, ZigBee, BLE, and Thread. This practice helps implement the most comprehensive indoor IoT solution. Therefore, the AP
is widely applied in shopping malls, supermarkets, office campuses, classrooms, and industrial IoT scenarios. In addition, the AP
has a unique industrial-grade shell. After opening the shell in one-click, you can install an IoT card that is plug-and-play (PnP)
with no need to route cables, presenting a pleasant appearance and simplifying O&M.
Leader AP*
The leader AP integrates some WLAN AC functions and can be used to manage Fit APs in small- and medium-sized enterprises
and stores, implementing WLAN AC-free access not requiring licenses and saving customer investment.
Cloud-based management
The AP can be managed via cloud, eliminating the need to deploy a WLAN AC. In cloud-based management mode, abundant
authentication functions, such as pre-shared key (PSK) authentication, Portal authentication, SMS authentication, and social
media authentication, can be implemented with no authentication server. This mode significantly simplifies the networking and
reduces the capital expenditure (CAPEX). In addition, multiple advanced functions, such as online cloud-based network
planning, cloud-based deployment, cloud-based inspection, and cloud-based O&M, can be implemented through Huawei cloud
management platform. In multi-branch deployment scenarios, cloud APs are pre-configured on the cloud management platform.
During onsite network deployment, you only need to power on the cloud APs, connect them to the network ports of switches,
and implement plug-and-play (PnP) of the APs by scanning the QR codes. The pre-configurations then are automatically
delivered to the APs, significantly shortening the network deployment time. The cloud management platform can monitor the
network status, device status, and STA connection status of all sites in a comprehensive and intuitive manner.
