Datasheet

• Interference suppression

ˉ In high-density scenarios, APs are usually densely placed. Huawei uses small-angle antennas that are purpose-built for high-density

scenarios to mitigate interference. These antennas have good radiation angle control and can regulate AP coverage radius to within the

appropriate range. Additionally, Huawei's Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) optimization technology reduces the possibility of air port

resources shared by multiple devices, allows higher user access, and improves the throughput.

• Air port performance optimization

ˉ In high-density scenarios where many users access the network, the increased number of low-rate STAs consumes more resources on the

air port, reduces the AP capacity, and lowers user experience. Therefore, Huawei APs will check the signal strength of STAs during access

and reject 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. Terminal access control technology can increase air

port use efﬁciency and allow access from more users.

• 5G-prior access

ˉ The APs support both 2.4G and 5G frequency bands. The 5G-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 user experience.

• Load balancing between APs

ˉ After the load balancing function is enabled, the AC distributes users evenly to APs based on user quantity and trafﬁc volume. Trafﬁc load

is therefore balanced among APs to ensure stable AP performance.

• Smart roaming

ˉ Smart roaming technology is based on the 802.11k and 802.11v technologies and allows STAs to connect to APs with stronger signals,

improving user experience and the overall performance of the wireless network.

ˉ These measures together help construct a wireless expressway network that can accommodate more terminals.

Wired and wireless dual security guarantee

To ensure data security, Huawei APs integrate wired and wireless security measures and provide comprehensive security protection.

• Authentication and encryption for wireless access

ˉ The APs support WEP, WPA/WPA2–PSK, WPA/WPA2–802.1x, 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.

• Analysis on non-Wi-Fi interference sources

ˉ 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 eSight, 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.

• Rogue device monitoring

ˉ 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.
