Huawei eKitEngine AP160 Access Point Product Overview Huawei eKitEngine AP160 is a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wall plate 86×86 access point (AP) with an 8 mm ultra-thin panel. It provides services simultaneously on the 2.4 GHz (2×2 MIMO) and 5 GHz (2×2 MIMO) frequency bands, achieving a maximum device rate of 1.775 Gbps. This AP features high bandwidth, high concurrency, and compact size, facilitating flexible deployment and saving customer investment. It is ideal for indoor coverage scenarios such as enterprise workplaces, commercial real estates, and budget chain hotels. AP160 (White) ⚫ Dual-radio mode: 2.4 GHz (2×2) 5 GHz (2×2), providing a maximum rate of 575 Mbps and 1.2 Gbps, respectively, and a rate of up to 1.775 Gbps for the device. ⚫ 1 x GE uplink electrical port 1 x GE downlink electrical port. ⚫ International 86 mm x 86 mm size: easy AP installation on an exposed or embedded junction box (86 mm x 86 mm) with a minimum depth of 35 mm. ⚫ Ultra-thin panel: 8 mm, slotting seamlessly into the power socket. ⚫ Built-in smart antenna: automatically adjusts the coverage direction and signal strength based on the intelligent switchover algorithm. Such capability enables the AP to flexibly adapt to the application environment changes, providing accurate and stable coverage as STAs move. Users can enjoy full signal strength when moving around in the coverage space without any network disconnection or interruption. ⚫ Working modes: Fit, Fat, and cloud management. ⚫ Deployment and O&M through the HUAWEI eKit app. Feature Descriptions 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. ⚫ 802.11ax supports 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-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), improving data transmission efficiency by 25% compared with 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 reuse (SR) technology uses basic service set (BSS) coloring to enable APs and STAs to distinguish overlapping BSSs, minimizing co-channel interference.
