Core Features

True Wi-Fi 6 Performance
Dual-band 4×4 MU-MIMO supports simultaneous transmissions on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, achieving device rates up to 5.95 Gbps with 1024-QAM modulation.
Smart Co-planar Antennas
The 6760R-51’s built-in antennas and 6760R-51E’s external ports dynamically steer beams toward clients, boosting SNR by ~20 % and eliminating blind spots in outdoor corridors and plazas.
Hybrid Optical/Electrical Uplink
Both models offer flexible uplink: 5 GE RJ45, GE RJ45, and 10 GE SFP+ (optical), enabling deployment over fiber or copper to match site topology and budget.
Industrial-Grade Durability
IP68 rating and 6 kV/6 kA surge protection ensure reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions—rain, dust, and lightning-prone environments.
Flexible Deployment Models
Mount on walls, poles, or corners with included brackets; manage centrally via Huawei Cloud, on-prem AC, or standalone GUI/CLI to suit any network scale.

Security & Authentication

WPA3 & WPA2-Enterprise
Advanced SAE handshake and GCMP-256 encryption safeguard against dictionary and replay attacks.
802.1X/RADIUS & PPSK
Dynamic VLAN assignment per user/device; PPSK issues unique PSKs without additional servers.
Guest Portal & VLAN Segmentation
Custom captive-portal workflows isolate visitor traffic, applying bandwidth/time quotas for enhanced QoE.
Rogue AP Detection & WIPS
Continuous spectrum scanning identifies unauthorized APs, triggering alerts or automated containment.
Encrypted Management Channels
SSH, HTTPS, and SNMPv3 secure all controller-to-AP and admin-to-AP communications.

Products Management

Installation & Mounting

Pole/Wall/Corner Brackets
Included universal mounting kits simplify installation on poles, walls, or corners, reducing labor time by 30 %.
Cable Management
Integrated cable glands maintain IP68 rating; separate ports for data and power (hybrid uses single cable).
Environmental Considerations
Ensure clear RF line-of-sight; avoid metal obstructions. For high lightning zones, add external surge arrestors.
Power & Redundancy
Use PoE++ (802.3bt) for maximum power delivery or DC backup for critical failover scenarios.

RF Planning & Antenna Configuration

Automatic Channel & Power Control
DFS and TPC adapt to changing RF and environmental conditions, minimizing co-channel interference.
Beamforming & MU-MIMO
Focus RF energy toward active users; support up to 4×4 MU-MIMO per radio for simultaneous multi-client service.
Heat-Map Simulation
Leverage Huawei’s cloud-based planner to model coverage, capacity, and client density before physical rollout.
BSS Coloring & Airtime Fairness
Mitigate adjacent-network interference and ensure equitable throughput across legacy and modern clients.

Management & Monitoring

Huawei Cloud & AC Controller
Zero-touch provisioning, bulk firmware upgrades, and AI-driven anomaly detection reduce O&M by 30%
Standalone GUI/CLI
Quick-start wizards for small sites; granular CLI scripting for automation.
RESTful APIs & SNMPv3
Integrate with third-party NMS and ITSM platforms for unified telemetry and alerts.
Real-Time Dashboards
Live visualization of client counts, throughput trends, retransmissions, and interference hotspots.
