Key Features & Innovations
-
True Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Performance
All models leverage OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and 1024-QAM to maximize spectral efficiency and client capacity—scaling throughput from 1.774 Gbps (5760-10) to 5.95 Gbps (5760-51). -
Huawei Smart Antenna Technology
Inspired by 5G beamforming, the built-in smart antennas dynamically track and follow users, boosting link quality by up to 20 % and eliminating coverage dead zones. -
Flexible Radio Modes
The 5760-51's SDR design supports dual-radio or triple-radio switching on-the-fly, adapting capacity for bandwidth-intensive vs. high-concurrency scenarios. -
Integrated IoT & BLE
Models feature built-in BLE 5.x and IoT slots (USB or internal), natively supporting protocols like ZigBee and RFID—simplifying convergence of wireless networks and IoT ecosystems. -
Multi-Gigabit & Optical Backhaul
From dual-GE LAG (5760-10) to 2.5 GbE PoE IN and 10 GbE SFP+ (5760-22W) or 5 GbE (5760-51), uplink ports match wireless speed to prevent bottlenecks.
Security & Authentication
- WPA3 & WPA2 Enterprise with SAE handshake and GCMP-256 encryption for robust protection.
- 802.1X / RADIUS & PPSK: Dynamic VLAN assignment and per-user keys without extra servers.
- Guest Portal & VLAN Isolation: Customizable captive portal with bandwidth/time quotas.
- Rogue AP Detection: Continuous spectrum monitoring identifies unauthorized Wireless APs.
- Encrypted Management: SSH, HTTPS, SNMPv3 secure control-plane communications.
Setup and Management
Installation & Mounting
- AirEngine 5760-51 & 10: Ceiling-tile or wall brackets; maintain 2.5–3 m mount height for optimal coverage.
- 5760-22W Wall-Plate: Fits standard 86 × 86 mm and 1-Gang/2-Gang boxes; use provided mounting kits.
- Cable Management: Gland-sealed uplinks preserve IP41 rating; route PoE/DC within ceiling voids.
- Grounding & Surge Protection: Follow NEC guidelines; consider inline surge arrestors for critical deployments.
RF Planning & Antenna Configuration
- Channel Planning: Support for 20/40/80/160 MHz channels; automatic DFS and TPC ensures regulatory compliance.
- Power Control: Auto-TX power tuning based on noise-floor and client density reduces co-channel interference.
- Heat-Map Simulation: Use Huawei Cloud or AC planning tools to simulate coverage and capacity.
- Beamforming & MU-MIMO: Focus RF on active clients; serve multiple users concurrently for high-density environments.
Management & Monitoring
- Huawei Cloud & AC Controller: Zero-touch onboarding, batch firmware upgrades, AI-driven alerts, and centralized dashboards.
- Standalone CLI/GUI: Quick-start wizards for small deployments.
- RESTful APIs & SNMPv3: Integrate with third-party NMS and automation platforms.
- Real-Time Telemetry: Live client counts, throughput graphs, and RF interference alarms.
