Feature Descriptions
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard
 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.
 UL/DL 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).
 UL/DL 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.

This function can be implemented through software upgrades.

UL/DL MU-MIMO
UL/DL 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.

Smart antenna array technology

The AP equipped with the dual-band smart antenna array and intelligent switchover algorithm can intelligently detect the
application environment and access density, achieving more accurate signal coverage and interference suppression. This
design helps provide the optimal signal coverage direction and signal quality for each mobile access STA, bringing seamless
and smooth wireless network access experience to the users.

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 4.8 Gbps on the
5 GHz band and 5.37 Gbps for the device.

High Density Boost technology

Huawei uses the following technologies to address challenges in high-density scenarios, including access problems, data
congestion, and poor roaming experience:

SmartRadio for air interface optimization

 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.

Air interface performance optimization

 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.

5GHz-prior access (band steering)

 The APs support both 2.4G and 5G 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.

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

 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.

This function can be implemented through software upgrades.

Analysis on non-Wi-Fi interference sources

 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.

Rogue device monitoring

 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.

Wired access authentication and encryption for the AP

 The AP access control ensures validity of APs. The CAPWAP link protection and DTLS/IPsec encryption provide security
assurance, improving data transmission security between the AP and the WLAN AC.

Automatic application identification

Huawei APs support smart application control technology and can implement visualized control on Layer 4 to Layer 7
applications.

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 use and improve quality of key services.

Traffic statistics collection

 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.

IoT extension
 The RU provides USB and PoE out interfaces that supports BLE5.0/Zigbee/RFID/Thread etc protocol for flexible IoT
application extension, implementing short-distance, lower-power consumption IoT applications.

Cloud-based Management
 With the central AP, it can be managed via cloud, eliminating the need to deploy a WLAN AC. 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 with no authentication server. 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. During onsite network deployment, you only need to power on the cloud APs, connect them to the
network ports of switches, and implement plug-and-play (PnP) of the APs by scanning the QR codes. The pre-configurations
then are automatically delivered to the APs, significantly shortening the network deployment time. The cloud management
platform can monitor the network status, device status, and STA connection status of all sites in a comprehensive and intuitive
manner.

Solution Features
Easy to Manage
Remote units (RU) does not occupy AC licenses. The AC only needs to manage central APs, so nearly 10,000 rooms require
merely about 200 APs.

Flexible Deployment Modes Ensure Full Signal Coverage Without Coverage Holes
A central AP connects to indoor remote unit (RU) through network cables without wall penetration loss and feeder loss,
implementing high-quality signal coverage.

Long-Distance Coverage
Unlike the traditional distributed AP which allows for a maximum feeder length of 15 m, the central AP uses network cables to
replace feeder cables and supports up to 100 m distance from the remote unit (RU). The network coverage range is therefore
expanded by several times.

Link Disconnection Survival
When the link between the central AP and AC disconnects, the central AP and Remote unit (RU) can maintain the current
working states, preventing service interruptions of users and ensuring high-reliability transmission.

Hierarchical Processing Technology, High Wireless Forwarding Capability

Huawei agile distributed Wi-Fi solution uses innovative hierarchical processing technology. The central AP manages Remote
unit (RU) in a centralized manner and concurrently forwards service traffic, while the remote unit (RU) only process radio signals.
The hierarchical design makes the network structure clearer and reduces the processing burden on the central AP and Remote
unit (RU), improving efficiency and optimizing the overall wireless forwarding performance.
