Description
Huawei eKitEngine AP266
Make SME Networks Easier and Smarter
Product Overview
The Huawei eKitEngine AP266 is a slim indoor wall plate access point (AP) that complies with the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard. It supports simultaneous dual-band operation on 2.4 GHz (2×2 MIMO) and 5 GHz (2×2 MIMO) with four spatial streams, achieving a data rate of up to 2.975 Gbps.
With one GE uplink port and four GE downlink ports (one supporting PoE OUT), this AP offers flexible deployment options, including installation on desks, walls, ceilings, or junction boxes. It is ideal for indoor environments such as budget hotels, hospitals, commercial stores, and schools.
The AP can be locally managed using EasyWeb or a wireless access controller (WAC) or remotely managed via the HUAWEI eKit App & SNC platform, simplifying network operations and maintenance.
Key Features
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Standard
- Enhances user access capacity and bandwidth in high-density scenarios, reducing latency and improving user experience.
- Multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) support on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, allowing simultaneous data transmission to multiple stations (STAs).
- 1024-QAM modulation increases data transmission efficiency by 25% compared to 802.11ac (256-QAM).
MU-MIMO Technology
- Supports a maximum of four spatial streams (two on 2.4 GHz and two on 5 GHz).
- Enables simultaneous data transmission to multiple STAs, doubling radio spectrum efficiency and improving performance in high-density environments.
High-Speed Access
- Supports 160 MHz bandwidth for expanded transmission channels.
- Uses 1024-QAM and MU-MIMO to achieve up to 575 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 2.4 Gbps on 5 GHz, totaling 2.975 Gbps.
Smart Antenna Technology
- Features dual-band smart antenna array technology and an intelligent switchover algorithm.
- Optimizes Wi-Fi coverage, reduces interference, and enhances signal quality for seamless connectivity.
Wired and Wireless Security
- Wireless security: Supports WEP, WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA3-SAE, WPA/WPA2-PPSK, and WPA/WPA2/WPA3-802.1X authentication/encryption.
- Wired security: Includes AP access control, CAPWAP link protection, and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) encryption to enhance data transmission security.
Automatic Radio Calibration
- Collects signal strength and channel data from surrounding APs to build an optimized network topology.
- Automatically adjusts transmit power and channel selection based on interference and network load for optimal performance.
Cloud Management
- Supports cloud-based management with built-in authentication functions (PSK, Portal authentication) without requiring a WAC or authentication server.
- Can be integrated with the Huawei SNC platform for cloud-based network planning, deployment, and maintenance.
Easy Deployment & O&M via HUAWEI eKit App
- Wi-Fi-based deployment: Quickly connects to the AP’s management Wi-Fi for network setup and remote management.
- Barcode scanning-based deployment: Uses a mobile phone to scan the device serial number (SN) for seamless onboarding and management.
