Core Features

Tri-Radio SDR Flexibility
Software-Defined Radio allows dynamic switching between dual-radio, triple-radio, or dual-plus-scan modes, balancing capacity vs. spectrum scanning for optimal performance in high-interference environments.
Smart Antenna Steering
Huawei’s co-planar Smart Antennas auto-steer beams toward active clients, boosting SNR by ~20 % and eliminating coverage dead spots even in dense open offices.
10 Gbps Backhaul
Dual 10 GbE uplinks (RJ45/SFP+) aggregate multi-gig wireless traffic without bottlenecks, ensuring AP throughput matches wired core speeds.
High-Density Capacity
Supports up to 1 152 concurrent users in triple-radio mode, with airtime fairness and OFDMA ensuring balanced experiences across all devices.
IoT & BLE Integration
Two built-in IoT slots plus USB host BLE 5.0 enable seamless connectivity for RFID, ZigBee, and other IoT devices, converging enterprise Wi-Fi and IoT networks.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Full WPA3/WPA2-Enterprise, 802.1X/RADIUS, PPSK, guest portals, rogue-AP detection, and encrypted management (SSH/HTTPS/SNMPv3) secure every layer of the WLAN.

Products Management

Installation & Mounting

Ceiling-Tile or Surface Mount
– Quick-clip ceiling kits for open spaces; low-profile surface mounts for hallways and corridors.
Wall-Plate Hybrid
– 57X series modules flush-mount in junction boxes, ideal for guest rooms where discreet APs are needed.
Power & Cable Routing
– PoE-only operation eliminates DC wiring; SFP+ fiber option extends reach for remote pods.
Grounding & Surge Protection
– Built-in surge guards; follow local codes for grounding, especially in quasi-outdoor or industrial zones.

RF Planning & Antenna Configuration

Auto Channel & Power Control
– DFS and TPC automatically adapt to RF conditions, minimizing co-channel interference.
Beamforming & MU-MIMO
– Directs RF to active users; 2×2 MU-MIMO serves multiple devices concurrently within 160 MHz channels.
Heat-Map Simulation
– Huawei Cloud/AC planning tools generate detailed coverage and capacity maps for precise AP placement.
BSS Coloring & TWT
– BSS Coloring reduces adjacent-network collisions; Target Wake Time (TWT) extends battery life for IoT.

Management & Monitoring

Huawei Cloud & AC Controller
– Zero-touch provisioning, template-based config, bulk firmware rollout, and AI-driven fault detection reduce O&M by 30 %.
Standalone GUI/CLI
– Quick setup wizards and full CLI automate small deployments without external controllers.
RESTful APIs & SNMPv3
– Integrate with third-party NMS, ITSM, and automation platforms for unified monitoring and alerting.
Real-Time Analytics
– Dashboards display live client counts, throughput trends, retransmission rates, and RF interference hotspots.
