Feature Description

Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) Standard

Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) is the next-generation Wi-Fi standard, also known as IEEE 802.11be or Extremely High

Throughput (EHT). It is compatible with protocols such as Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5.

Based on Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 7 introduces technologies such as 320 MHz channel width, 4096-QAM, multi-resource

unit (RU), MLO, enhanced MU-MIMO, and multi-AP coordination. In this way, Wi-Fi 7 provides a higher data

transmission rate and lower latency than Wi-Fi 6.

New Features in Wi-Fi 7

Multi-RU mechanism

⚫ In Wi-Fi 6, each user can send or receive frames only on the RUs allocated to them, which greatly limits the

flexibility of spectrum resource scheduling. To solve this problem and further improve spectral efficiency,

Wi-Fi 7 defines a mechanism for allocating multiple RUs to a single user. To balance the implementation

complexity and spectrum utilization, the Wi-Fi 7 standard specifications impose certain restrictions on RU

combinations. That is, small RUs (containing fewer than 242 tones) can be combined only with small RUs,

and large RUs (containing greater than or equal to 242 tones) can be combined only with large RUs. Small

RUs and large RUs cannot be combined together.

Higher-order 4096-QAM

⚫ The highest order modulation supported by Wi-Fi 6 is 1024-QAM, which allows each modulation symbol to

carry up to 10 bits. To further improve the rate, Wi-Fi 7 introduces 4096-QAM so that each modulation

symbol can carry 12 bits. With the same coding, 4096-QAM in Wi-Fi 7 can achieve a 20% rate increase

compared with 1024-QAM in Wi-Fi 6.

Multi-link mechanism

⚫ To efficiently utilize all available spectrum resources, the Wi-Fi 7 standard defines a multi-link aggregation

technology — MLO. This technology enables a STA to simultaneously establish links with multiple radios (2.4

GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) of an AP. Using MAC layer technology, these cross-band links are aggregated into a

virtual link to enable parallel communication across multiple links.

Preamble puncturing

⚫ Based on channel bonding technology, multiple adjacent channels can be merged into one for

communication. If one of the subchannels is severely interfered with and cannot be used, its neighbors are

also unavailable. This leads to a significant decrease in overall wireless bandwidth, degrading the

throughput. Preamble puncturing technology allows for skipping heavily interfered subchannels by

"puncturing" through them. This enables the utilization of adjacent clear subchannels, preventing the

overall wireless bandwidth decrease and thereby improving wireless performance in the case of

interference.

High-Speed Access

The AP supports 160 MHz channel width, which increases the number of available data subcarriers and expands

transmission channels. In addition, the AP adopts 4096-QAM to achieve a rate of up to 0.69 Gbps on the 2.4 GHz

band and 5.76 Gbps on the 5 GHz band, meaning up to 6.45 Gbps for the device.

Omnidirectional Antenna

The AP has built-in omnidirectional antennas and works simultaneously on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency

bands to provide coverage over an optimal experience radius of 180 meters.

High-Specification Protection

⚫ The AP is designed with a metal shell and overall heat dissipation, allowing it to operate in an extended

temperature range of –40°C to +70°C. It also features an IP68 waterproof and dustproof design, as well as 6

kA surge protection for Ethernet ports, meeting industrial-grade requirements.

⚫ Cable connectors are secured using metal fasteners to ensure secure connections and stable device

operations.

Wired and Wireless Security Guarantee

To ensure data security, this AP integrates wired and wireless security functions and provides comprehensive

security protection.

Authentication and encryption for wireless access

⚫ The AP supports WEP, WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA3-SAE, WPA/WPA2-PPSK, and WPA/WPA2/WPA3-802.1X

authentication/encryption modes to ensure the security of wireless networks. 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

data can only be received and parsed by authorized users.

Authentication and encryption for wired access

⚫ The AP access control mechanism ensures that only authorized users can access the AP. Control and

provisioning of wireless access point (CAPWAP) link protection and Datagram Transport Layer Security

(DTLS) encryption provide security guarantee and improve data transmission security between the AP and

wireless access controller (WAC).

Automatic Radio Calibration

Automatic radio calibration allows the AP to collect signal strength, channel, and other parameters of

surrounding APs and generate an AP topology according to the collected data. Based on interference from

surrounding environments and their loads, the 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.

Cloud Management

The AP supports cloud-based management. It provides various authentication functions, such as PSK and Portal

authentication, without the need of a WAC or an authentication server. This greatly simplifies networking and

reduces capital expenditure (CAPEX). In addition, the AP can use the Huawei SME Network cloud management

platform to implement cloud-based network planning, deployment, inspection, and O&M.

Deployment and O&M Through HUAWEI eKit App

The HUAWEI eKit App supports Wi-Fi-based deployment and barcode scanning–based deployment. After the

deployment is complete, you can perform more maintenance operations on the HUAWEI eKit App.

Wi-Fi-based deployment

⚫ In quick deployment mode, you can connect your mobile phone to the management Wi-Fi network of an AP

to deploy a network. This allows the device to automatically go online and be remotely managed on the

app.

Barcode scanning–based deployment

⚫ Another method is to use a mobile phone to scan the AP's serial number (SN) and synchronize the device

information to HUAWEI eKit platform for device onboarding management.
