Feature Descriptions........................................................................................................................ //

MU-MIMO

The AP supports MU-MIMO. MU-MIMO technology allows an AP to send data to multiple STAs at the same time (currently, most

802.11n/11ac Wave 1 APs can only send data to one STA simultaneously). The technology marks the start of the 802.11ac Wave 2 era.

GE access

The AP supports the 80-MHz bandwidth mode. Frequency bandwidth increase brings extended channels and more sub-carriers for data
transmission, and a 2.16 times higher rate. Support for High Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (HQAM) at 256-QAM and 4 x 4 MIMO
increases the 5 GHz radio rate to 1.73 Gbit/s. The throughput of the AP is four times that of traditional 802.11n APs under the similar
conditions.

Cloud-based management

Huawei Cloud Managed Network (CMN) Solution consists of the cloud management platform and a full range of cloud managed network
devices. The cloud management platform provides various functions including management of APs, tenants, applications, and licenses,
network planning and optimization, device monitoring, network service configuration, and value-added services.

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

ˉ 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.

ˉ 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.

ˉ 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

ˉ 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.

• 5G-prior access (Band steering)

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 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

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

• AP access authentication and encryption

ˉ The AP access control ensures validity of APs. The CAPWAP link protection and DTLS encryption provide security assurance,

improving data transmission security between the AP and the AC.

Automatic radio calibration

Automatic radio calibration allows an AP to collect signal strength and channel parameters of surrounding APs and generate AP topology
according to the collected data. Based on interference from authorized APs, rogue APs, and non-Wi-Fi interference sources, each AP
automatically adjusts its transmit power and working channel to make the network operate at the optimal performance. In this way,
network reliability and user experience are improved.

Automatic application identification

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

• Traffic identification

ˉ Coupled with Huawei ACs, the APs can identify over 1600 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

ˉ 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.
