Huawei’s latest generation AirEngine AP offers robust Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) support for high-density environments across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. Featuring MU-MIMO, OFDMA, 1024QAM modulation, and spatial reuse technology, it ensures maximum throughput, reduced latency, and optimal spectrum efficiency. The target wake time (TWT) function helps prolong battery life of connected devices.

MU-MIMO

The AP supports up to six spatial streams — two at 2.4 GHz and four at 5 GHz. MU-MIMO enables simultaneous transmission to multiple clients, improving access bandwidth and user experience in dense environments.

Smart Antenna Array Technology

Equipped with dual-band smart antennas and intelligent algorithms, the AP dynamically adjusts coverage and suppresses interference based on the environment, ensuring high-quality connections for mobile users.

High-Speed Access

With 160 MHz channel bandwidth and 1024QAM, the AP delivers up to 0.575 Gbps at 2.4 GHz and 4.8 Gbps at 5 GHz, reaching a combined total of 5.375 Gbps throughput.

High Density Boost Technologies

  • SmartRadio: Optimizes air interface for improved performance.
  • Intelligent DFA: Dynamically detects interference and reallocates radios to reduce congestion.
  • Conflict Optimization: Prioritizes user traffic with enhanced EDCA and airtime scheduling.

Air Interface Optimization

Low-rate clients are identified and reassociated to better APs, optimizing air time usage and improving overall performance. This enables efficient use of spectrum and better support for large user volumes.

5GHz-Prior Access

STAs are intelligently steered to 5 GHz where possible, minimizing 2.4 GHz congestion and improving user experience through lower interference and faster data rates.

Dual Security Architecture

Wired and wireless layers are secured with authentication and encryption modes including WEP, WPA2, WPA3, PPSK, 802.1x, and WAPI. CAPWAP, DTLS/IPSec, and hardware encryption ensure secure communication between AP and AC.

Non-Wi-Fi Interference Analysis

Identifies sources such as Bluetooth, cordless phones, game controllers, and microwave ovens. Combined with NCE-Campus, administrators can pinpoint and eliminate interference.

Rogue Device Management

With WIDS/WIPS capabilities, the AP detects, reports, and neutralizes unauthorized devices for secure wireless transmission.

Automatic Radio Calibration

Each AP self-adjusts transmit power and channel settings based on surrounding interference and load conditions to ensure optimal network performance.

Application Identification & Control

Visual control over Layer 4–7 applications helps prioritize, block, or rate-limit traffic. Over 6000 common applications are identifiable for policy enforcement and bandwidth optimization.

IoT Extension

The integrated IoT slot supports BLE, ZigBee, RFID, and Thread for versatile deployment. Plug-and-play modules simplify upgrades and eliminate extra wiring, making it ideal for retail, office, or industrial settings.

Leader AP Function

Functions as a local controller for Fit APs without license costs, perfect for SMB deployments looking to save on infrastructure.

Cloud-Based Management

Eliminates the need for physical AC or authentication servers. Supports PSK, portal, SMS, and social login authentications. Cloud-based tools handle planning, deployment, monitoring, and O&M. Pre-configured APs only need power and network connection to auto-deploy via QR code scan, significantly reducing setup time.
