Huawei – eKit Engine AP266 Wireless Access Point

Huawei eKit Engine AP266 is an indoor slim wall plate access point (AP) in compliance with the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard. It can simultaneously provide services on the 2.4 GHz (2×2 MIMO) and 5 GHz (2×2 MIMO) frequency bands with four spatial streams, delivering a data rate of up to 2.975 Gbps. The AP provides one GE uplink port and four GE downlink ports (one supporting PoE OUT). It can be installed on a desk, wall, ceiling, or junction box, meeting connection requirements in multiple scenarios.

The AP is small and easy to deploy, ideal for indoor coverage scenarios such as budget hotels, hospitals, commercial stores, and schools. You can use the Easy Web 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 O&M.

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, reducing service latency and enhancing 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 stations (STAs) simultaneously and multiplying the utilization of radio spectrum resources.
• 1024-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), improving data transmission efficiency by 25% compared with 802.11ac (256-QAM).

MU-MIMO

The AP supports MU-MIMO and supports a maximum of four spatial streams (two on the 2.4 GHz frequency band and two on the 5 GHz 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.

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 575 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and 2.4 Gbps on the 5 GHz band, meaning up to 2.975 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 STA, and offer seamless and smooth wireless network experience to users
