Integrate Bluetooth module, PoE_out port, and USB port, support IoT expansion, and effectively meet the flexible and diverse connectivity needs of the IoT ecosystem.
AI-powered dynamic power-saving effectively reduces device power consumption while cutting operational costs.
Wi-Fi 7 standard
The IEEE 802.11be standard (Wi-Fi 7) is the latest Wi-Fi technical standard currently available, encompassing core enhanced features such as 4096 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (4096-QAM), Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Enhanced Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), and preamble puncturing technology that supports a 320 MHz channel width.
Wi-Fi 6E is a core technical "extension" of Wi-Fi 6 to the 6 GHz frequency band, while Wi-Fi 7 represents a technical evolution and upgrade of Wi-Fi 6/Wi-Fi 6E — it builds on Wi-Fi 6E by adding and enhancing core functions including support for 320 MHz wide channels, Multi-Link Operation (MLO), and 4096-QAM (4K-QAM) modulation technology. These improvements can significantly boost data transmission rates and connection stability, making it particularly suitable for application scenarios with stringent low-latency requirements, such as AR and VR.
Wi-Fi 7 6GHz Frequency Band Advantages
Wi-Fi 7 makes full use of the up to 1200 MHz of available spectrum resources in the 6 GHz frequency band to achieve higher network throughput and better application performance.Relying on up to three 320 MHz independent channels that can be allocated in this frequency band, Wi-Fi 7 can more effectively support scenarios requiring low latency and high bandwidth, such as 8K and other ultra-high-definition (UHD) video, augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), and high-speed large-file transmission.
Only devices compatible with the Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 standards can access the 6 GHz frequency band; older devices (e.g., those supporting only Wi-Fi 5 and earlier standards) need to continue using the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz frequency bands. This frequency band division will neither cause interference to transmissions in the 6 GHz frequency band nor lead to reduced speeds for older devices in their original frequency bands.
H3C Cloudnet Cloud-Based Deployment and Management
H3C Wi-Fi 7 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 7 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 7 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.
IoT Extended Functions
H3C Wi-Fi 7 series APs integrate practical extended functions to support smart applications across multiple scenarios. Each AP is built with a high-performance Bluetooth module (supporting BLE 5.0 or higher); when integrated with third-party professional positioning service systems, it can enable positioning services, meeting the needs for visual asset management in various scenarios.
In addition, to address the diverse connectivity requirements of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, the AP is equipped with standard USB ports and PoE_out (Power over Ethernet Output) ports: the USB ports can directly connect to lightweight IoT devices, while the PoE_out ports can simultaneously provide data transmission and power supply for power-dependent IoT devices. This eliminates the need for additional power line deployment and significantly reduces the installation and O&M (Operations and Maintenance) costs of IoT devices.
AI-Powered Dynamic Power Save
H3C Wi-Fi 7 series APs employ a green design that supports Dynamic and Static SM Power Saving (SMPS) and Enhanced Automatic Power Save Delivery (E-APSD). They can dynamically adjust the MIMO working mode and efficiently put terminals to sleep. H3C Wi-Fi 7 series APs support green AP mode, which enables single radio standby while allowing for more precise power control; additionally, they feature a function that automatically wakes up APs at preset times and adapts to usage scenarios based on connection requirements—for instance, during low-demand periods such as non-working hours and weekends, this function automatically turns off radio modules, effectively reducing device power consumption and cutting operational costs.
Wireless Security policy
The APs support WPA2-Personal, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA3-Personal, WPA3-Enterprise authentication and encryption modes to ensure security of the wireless network.
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.
The CAPWAP link protection and DTLS encryption provide security assurance, improving data transmission security between the AP and the AC.
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.
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.
Radio Resource Management
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.
Radio Resource Optimization Policy
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.
Station Access Control Policy
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
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.
Global Wi-Fi 7 regulations
On a global scale, while there is a broad consensus among countries on the need for greater Wi-Fi capacity, progress in opening up the 6GHz frequency band varies. H3C Wi-Fi 7 series APs can adjust flexibly based on the status of frequency band opening and regulatory requirements in different countries. Once relevant Wi-Fi 7 regulations are officially approved and certified, the devices will automatically update regulatory configurations to ensure compliance and smooth activation of Wi-Fi 7 functionality.
