Description
AP673 Wireless Wi-Fi 7
Product Overview :
Huawei eKitEngine AP673 is a next-generation indoor access point (AP) that complies with the Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard. It supports eight spatial streams on the 2.4 GHz (2×2 MIMO), 5 GHz (2×2 MIMO), and 6 GHz (4x4MIMO) frequency bands, delivering a data rate of up to 13.66 Gbps.
It has built-in smart antennas, ensuring always-on signals for users. With the all-new Wi-Fi 7 technology, this AP can greatly improve users’ wireless network experience. Compact in size, it can be flexibly deployed and saves customer TCO. These strengths make this AP ideal for indoor coverage scenarios such as small and midsize enterprise office, hospitals, and shopping malls and supermarkets.
You can use the EasyWeb or wireless access controller (WAC) to locally deploy and manage APs, or use the HUAWEI eKit App & SNC platform to remotely manage and maintain APs. In this way, network projects can be handed over or managed together, simplifying network 0&M.
AP673 Wireless Wi-Fi 7 Feature Description :
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be Standard)
- Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) – also known as IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT) — is the latest upcoming Wi-Fi standard. Based on Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 7 introduces technologies such as 320 MHz bandwidth,
4096-quadrature amplitude modulation (4096-QAM), multiple resource unit (MRU), multi-link operation
(MLO), enhanced multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO), and multi-AP coordination. In this way, Wi-Fi 7 delivers a higher data transmission rate and a lower latency than Wi-Fi 6.
High-Speed Tri-Band Access - The AP supports 320 MHz frequency bandwidth on the 6 GHz frequency band, which increases the number of available data subcarriers and expands transmission channels. In addition, the AP adopts 4096-QAM and MU-MIMO to achieve a rate of up to 0.69 Gbps on the 2.4 GHz band, 1.44 Gbps on the 5 GHz band, and
11.53 Gbps on the 6 GHz band, meaning up to 13.66 Gbps for the device.
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 station (STA), and offer seamless and smooth wireless network experience to users.
