HUAWEI eKit SME Network eKitEngine AP661 Access Point

Product Overview Huawei eKitEngine AP661 is an indoor AP in compliance with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). It can simultaneously provide services on 2.4 GHz (2×2 MIMO), 5 GHz (2×2 MIMO) and 5 GHz (4×4 MIMO) frequency bands, achieving a device rate of up to 6.575 Gbps. Built-in smart antennas of the AP enable always-on Wi-Fi signals for users, significantly enhancing users’ wireless experiences. These strengths make it ideal for densely populated scenarios such as mobile office, education, and stadiums. Built-in smart antennas that automatically adjust the coverage direction and signal strength based on the intelligent switchover algorithm to adapt to changes in the external environment, in addition to providing accurate and stable coverage as stations (STAs) move USB port for IoT expansion (such as ZigBee and RFID) Working modes: Fit, Fat, and cloud management Feature Description Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard As the latest Wi-Fi standard defined in IEEE 802.11, 802.11ax improves the user access capacity and bandwidth in high-density access scenarios, reduces service latency, and enhances 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 STAs simultaneously and multiplying the utilization of radio spectrum resources. 802.11ax supports 1024-QAM, delivering 25% higher data transmission efficiency than 802.11ac (supporting 256 QAM). Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) technology enables the AP to transmit data to multiple STAs at the same time using different subcarriers, reducing latency and improving network efficiency. Spatial multiplexing technology uses basic service set (BSS) coloring mechanism to enable the AP and STAs to distinguish overlapping BSSs, minimizing co-channel interference. Target Wake Time (TWT) technology allows the AP and STAs to negotiate the sleep and wake time with each other, thereby improving the battery life of the STAs. MU-MIMO The AP supports MU-MIMO and supports a maximum of eight spatial streams, two spatial streams on the 2.4 GHz frequency band and six spatial streams on the 5 GHz band (two on the high-frequency band and four on the low 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 high-density access scenarios. 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. 2 Huawei eKitEngine AP661 Access Point Datasheet High-speed 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 6 Gbps on the 5 GHz band, meaning up to 6.575 Gbps for the device. High Density Boost technology Huawei uses the following technologies to address challenges in high-density scenarios, including access problems, data congestion, and poor roaming experience: SmartRadio for air interface optimization Load balancing during smart roaming: The load balancing algorithm is used to perform load balancing detection on APs after STAs roam, and adjust the STA load on each AP accordingly to improve network stability. Intelligent DFA technology: The dynamic frequency assignment (DFA) algorithm is used to automatically detect adjacent-channel and co-channel interference, and identify any 2.4 GHz redundant radio. Through automatic inter AP negotiation, the redundant radio is automatically switched to another mode or is disabled to reduce 2.4 GHz co-channel interference and increase the system capacity. Intelligent conflict optimization technology: The dynamic enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) and airtime scheduling algorithms are used to schedule the channel occupation time and service priority of each STA. This ensures that each STA is assigned a relatively equal amount of time for using channel resources and user services are scheduled in an orderly manner, improving service processing efficiency and user experience. Air interface performance optimization  In high-density access scenarios, access of many low-rate STAs consumes many resources on the air interface, compromises the AP capacity, and degrades user experience. To address this issue, the AP checks the access rate of STAs and denies access of low-rate or weak-signal STAs. Show More Show Less
