It supports centralized management through Huawei WLAN controllers or cloud platforms, ensuring simplified deployment and efficient network operation.

Key Features

• 802.11ac Wi-Fi 5 dual-band wireless access point

• Supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands

• External antennas for flexible coverage and improved signal strength

• High user capacity with stable throughput

• Advanced security with WPA/WPA2 encryption and authentication

• Centralized management via Huawei WLAN controller or cloud management

• Compact indoor design with ceiling or wall-mount installation

Huawei eKitEngine AP362E 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, delivering a data rate of up to 2.975 Gbps.

The product adopts a round design with a diameter of 180 mm, which is better blended with the decoration style. The AP supports multiple installation modes, such as wall or ceiling mounting, with simple installation steps; metal mounting brackets are durable and resistant to deformation. It is suitable for indoor coverage scenarios such as small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), budget chain hotels, commercial stores, and primary and secondary schools.

You can use the EasyWeb or wireless access controller (WAC) to locally deploy and manage APs, or use the HUAWEI eKit App & SNC platform to remotely manage and maintain APs. In this way, network projects can be handed over or managed together, simplifying network O&M.

• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Standard
  • As the Wi-Fi 6 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.
  • 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 stations (STAs) simultaneously and multiplying the utilization of radio spectrum resources.
  • 1024-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), improving data transmission efficiency by 25% compared with 802.11ac (256-QAM).
• MU-MIMO
  • The AP supports MU-MIMO and supports a maximum of four spatial streams (two on the 2.4 GHz frequency band and two on the 5 GHz frequency band). 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 multi-user access scenarios.
• High-Speed Dual-Band Access
  • The AP supports 160 MHz frequency bandwidth, which increases the number of available data subcarriers and expands transmission channels. In addition, the AP adopts 1024-QAM and MU-MIMO to achieve a rate of up to 0.575 Gbps on the 2.4 GHz band and 2.4 Gbps on the 5 GHz band, meaning up to 2.975 Gbps for the device.
• Smart Antenna
  • The dual-band smart antenna array technology and intelligent switchover algorithm enable the AP to intelligently sense the application environment and access density, achieving accurate Wi-Fi coverage and interference suppression. They together provide the optimal coverage direction and signal quality for each access STA, and offer seamless and smooth wireless network experience to users.
