Features

Wi-Fi 6 AP with Powerful Capabilities

H3C Wi-Fi 6 series APs support three flexible AP modes (CloudAP, FitAP, AnchorAP), which can operate independently or work in collaboration with wireless controllers. They can be freely switched according to actual deployment needs, adapting to different network architectures. Meanwhile, they are paired with H3C’s Cloudnet cloud-based deployment platform and AD-Campus on-premises deployment platform—both platforms are equipped with capabilities for intelligent automated management, AI-driven insights, and unified infrastructure management and control. Leveraging these two flexible deployment options, users can easily enable full-lifecycle management of Wi-Fi 6 APs, maximizing the efficiency of intelligent O&M (Operations and Maintenance). This thus ultimately meets the diverse application scenario needs of various enterprises.

Flexible networking

H3C Cloudnet Cloud-Based Deployment and Management

H3C Wi-Fi 6 series APs can work in cloud AP mode, and can also collaborate with wireless controllers (ACs). If combined with the H3C Cloudnet cloud platform, enterprises can achieve unified monitoring and management of wired and wireless networks, and obtain an integrated operation and maintenance experience.

The Cloudnet platform is equipped with an intuitive interactive Web interface and advanced, scalable management tools. It adopts a fully distributed architecture, enabling comprehensive management of network, terminal, user, and service activation functions.

H3C AD-Campus On-Premises Deployment and Management

H3C Wi-Fi 6 series APs can work in cloud AP mode, and can also collaborate with wireless controllers (ACs). If combined with the H3C AD-Campus platform, enterprises can achieve unified monitoring and management of wired and wireless networks, and obtain an integrated operation and maintenance experience.

The AD-Campus platform is equipped with an intuitive, user-friendly web interface, supports network control, and provides a unified view of the network topology while enabling policy-based network management.

Diverse Multi-Device Collaboration Modes for APs

H3C Wi-Fi 6 series APs support operation in FitAP mode and work in collaboration with wireless controllers, switches, routers and security products with embedded wireless controllers. This enables them to adapt to scenarios of different scales, simplify O&M (Operations and Maintenance) to reduce costs, enhance network performance and security, support flexible business expansion, and ultimately achieve on-demand deployment while protecting customers' early-stage investments.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standards

Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)

802.11ax uses OFDMA to allow multiple users to transmit data simultaneously. OFDMA splits a channel into sub-channels, known as resource units (RUs), with specific subcarriers, and assigns RUs to different users for simultaneous transmission. OFDMA enables simultaneous multi-user transmission and reduces latency caused by channel contention.

DL/UL MU-MIMO

DL/UL MU-MIMO technology allows AP to send data to multiple stations simultaneously, breaking through the traditional wireless serial communication mechanism, increasing the utilization rate of wireless spectrum resources, and improving the number of effective access users and access experience under high-density deployment.

BSS coloring

Spatial reuse allows the access points and their clients to differentiate between BSSs, assigns a different color per BSS to help access point identify co-channel interference and stop transmission in time. This optimizes frequency reuse and improves network capacity.

Target wake time (TWT)

TWT improves power efficiency and reduces contention by increasing client sleep time and allowing negotiation of the times that clients can access the medium.

Security policy

Wireless security guarantee

The APs support WPA2-Personal, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA3-Personal, WPA3-Enterprise authentication and encryption modes to ensure security of the wireless network.

Rogue device monitoring

APs support 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.

Link protection

The CAPWAP link protection and DTLS encryption provide security assurance, improving data transmission security between the AP and the AC.

Network optimization

Doctor AP

Doctor AP mode, combining H3C AC and H3C Cloudnet platform, collects wireless network information for scenarios where terminal access is abnormal, and analyzes and locates wireless faults quickly and accurately.

RRM

Radio Resource Management (RRM), the AP monitors air interface channel utilization, channel interference, and signal conflict in real time, and works with H3C Cloudnet to adjust RF parameters such as working channel, bandwidth, and power in a timely manner to maintain the optimal RF resource status.

RROP

Radio Resource Optimization Policy (RROP) refers to the collection of multiple wireless air interface optimization methods, which is committed to reducing or controlling the consumption of air interface media resources by management packets, broadcast packets, and invalid packets. Set aside more resources to provide users with better wireless application services.

SACP

The Station Access Control Policy (SACP) restricts, controls, and guides the access of wireless terminals to better AP or wireless services. In addition, terminal traffic is controlled and scheduled according to network applications to improve the overall performance of the wireless network and improve the experience and effect of wireless access applications.

Roaming protection

Wireless AP fully supports the Fast BSS Transition function defined in the 802.11r standard, which can accelerate the roaming process of wireless users, reduce the probability of connection interruption, and improve the roaming service quality. Through 802.11k protocol mechanism, AP and wireless client interact with each other to perceive the network topology in multiple dimensions. The AC recognizes and calculates the roaming time and roaming access location of the wireless client in full view, and negotiates the switch with the client through 802.11v and 802.11r mechanisms.

Application guarantee

Application identification

APs support smart application control technology and can implement visualized control on Layer 4 to Layer 7 applications. Coupled with H3C WLAN ACs, the APs can identify a large number of 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 and improve quality of key services.

Secure infrastructure

Trusted systems built on H3C Secure Boot provide a strong security foundation for H3C products.All device software compilations utilize RSA asymmetric encryption to ensure the integrity and authenticity of firmware and boot programs. The basic boot code in tamper-resistant partitions establishes a Root of Trust, and forms a Chain of Trust by verifying subsequent stages to enable secure system boot and validate software trustworthiness, thus effectively defending against man-in-the-middle attacks targeting software and firmware.

Power saving

The access point employs a green design that supports Dynamic and Static SM Power Saving (SMPS), Enhanced Automatic Power Save Delivery (E-APSD). It can dynamically adjust the MIMO working mode and efficiently put terminals to sleep.The access point supports green AP mode that enables single radio standby and allows for more precise power control.
