• 5G-prior access
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 user experience.
• Load balancing between APs
ˉ After the load balancing function is enabled, the AC distributes users evenly to APs based on user quantity and traffic volume.
Traffic load is therefore balanced among APs to ensure stable AP performance.
• Smart roaming
ˉ Smart roaming technology is based on the 802.11k and 802.11v technologies and allows STAs to connect to APs with stronger
signals, improving user experience and the overall performance of the wireless network.
High level of security
• Authentication and encryption for wireless access
ˉ The APs support WEP, WPA/WPA2–PSK, 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.
Flexible networking and strong environmental adaptability
• Automatic radio calibration
ˉ 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.
• Adaptive bandwidth management
ˉ The AP can automatically adjust bandwidth allocation based on the user quantity and environments to improve user experience.
