Huawei eKitEngine AP361 Access Point

Huawei eKitEngine Access Point

Huawei eKitEngine AP361 is an indoor access point (AP) in compliance with the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard. It provides services simultaneously on the 2.4 GHz (2×2 MIMO) and 5 GHz (2×2 MIMO) frequency bands, achieving a maximum device rate of 1.775 Gbps. This AP features high bandwidth, high concurrency, and compact size, facilitating flexible deployment and saving customer investment. Such strengths make the AP a good fit for indoor coverage scenarios, such as small and micro enterprise workplaces, small- and medium-sized hospitals, commercial real estate, budget chain hotels, and primary and secondary schools.

• Dual-radio mode: 2.4 GHz (2×2) + 5 GHz (2×2), providing a maximum rate of 575 Mbps and 1.2 Gbps, respectively, and a rate of up to 1.775 Gbps for the device.
• 1 x GE electrical port.
• Built-in smart antenna: automatically adjusts the coverage direction and signal strength based on the intelligent switchover algorithm. Such capability enables the AP to flexibly adapt to the application environment changes, providing accurate and stable coverage as STAs move.
• Working modes: Fit, Fat, and cloud management.
• Deployment and O&M through the HUAWEI eKit app.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard

• As the latest Wi-Fi standard defined in IEEE 802.11, 802.11ax improves the user access capacity and bandwidth in high-density access scenarios, reducing service latency and enhancing user experience.
• 802.11ax supports multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (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.
• 802.11ax supports 1024-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), improving data transmission efficiency by 25% compared with 802.11ac (supporting 256-QAM).
• Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) technology enables the AP to transmit data to multiple STAs at the same time using different subcarriers, reducing latency and improving network efficiency.
• Spatial reuse (SR) technology uses basic service set (BSS) coloring to enable APs and STAs to distinguish overlapping BSSs, minimizing co-channel interference.

MU-MIMO

• The AP supports MU-MIMO and a maximum of four spatial streams, two spatial streams at 2.4 GHz and two spatial streams at 5 GHz. The 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.

High-speed access

• The AP supports 80 MHz frequency bandwidth, which increases the number of available data subcarriers and extends transmission channels. In addition, the AP uses 1024-QAM and MU-MIMO technologies to achieve a rate of up to 0.575 Gbps on the 2.4 GHz frequency band and 1.2 Gbps on the 5 GHz frequency band, and 1.775 Gbps for the device.
