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.
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).
OFDMA scheduling enables multiple users to receive and send information at the same time, reducing latency and
improving network efficiency.
Spatial reuse (SR) technology uses basic service set (BSS) coloring to enable APs and STAs to distinguish BSSs,
minimizing co-channel interference.
The target wake time (TWT)* allows APs and STAs to negotiate the sleep and wake time with each other, thereby
improving the battery life of the STAs.
The function and features marked with * can be implemented through software upgrade. The following describes are the
same.
MU-MIMO
The AP supports MU-MIMO and supports a maximum of eight spatial streams, two spatial streams at 2.4 GHz and six spatial
streams at 5 GHz. The 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.
High-speed access
The AP supports 160 MHz frequency bandwidth, which increases the number of available data subcarriers and expands
transmission channels. In addition, the APs use 1024QAM modulation and MU-MIMO to achieve a rate of up to [email protected]
GHz radio, 6 Gbps on the 5 GHz band and 6.575Gbps for the device.
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.
Intelligent DFA technology: The dynamic frequency assignment (DFA) algorithm is used to automatically detect adjacent-
channel and co-channel interference, and identify any 2.4 GHz redundant radio. Through automatic inter-AP negotiation, the
redundant radio is automatically switched to another mode (dual-5G AP models support 2.4G-to-5G switchover) or is disabled to
reduce 2.4 GHz co-channel interference and increase the system capacity.
Intelligent conflict optimization technology: The dynamic enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) and airtime
scheduling algorithms are used to schedule the channel occupation time and service priority of each user. This ensures that
each user is assigned relatively equal time for using channel resources and user services are scheduled in an orderly manner,
improving service processing efficiency and user experience.
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 2.4GHz and 5GHz 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, DTLS/IPsec encryption and hardware
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 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.
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, then no need to deploy a WLAN AC and an authentication server. 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. 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
firstly. Then on site, you only need to power on the cloud APs and connect them to switch ports, then scan the QR code to
implement AP plug-and-play. Pre-configurations are automatically delivered to devices, greatly shortening the network
deployment time. The cloud management platform can monitor the network status, device status, and terminal connection status
of all sites of a tenant in a comprehensive and intuitive manner to learn the network and service running status in real time.
