Huawei eKitEngine AP371 is a next-generation indoor access point (AP) in compliance with Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be). It can simultaneously provide services on 2.4 GHz (2×2 MIMO) and 5 GHz (2×2 MIMO) frequency bands, supporting a total of 4 spatial streams and achieving a device rate of up to 3.57 Gbps. The AP is empowered by brand-new Wi-Fi 7 technologies and is equipped with built-in smart antennas to enable always-on Wi-Fi signals for users, significantly enhancing users’ wireless network experience. Additionally, it has a compact size, facilitating flexible deployment and saving customer investment. These strengths make the eKitEngine AP371 ideal for indoor coverage scenarios such as small- and medium-sized business (SMB) workplaces, hospitals, and shopping malls and supermarkets.
Provides services simultaneously on both the 2.4 GHz (2×2) and 5 GHz (2×2) frequency bands, at a rate of up to 689 Mbps at 2.4 GHz, 2.88 Gbps on 5 GHz, and 3.57 Gbps for the device.
Has built-in smart antennas that automatically adjust the coverage direction and signal strength based on the intelligent switchover algorithm. Such capability enables the AP to flexibly adapt to application environment changes, providing accurate and stable coverage as STAs move.
Supports Fit and cloud management working modes, and enables Huawei cloud management platform to manage and operate APs and services on the APs, reducing network O&M costs.
The cloud management (APP or SNC) is recommended for AP371. Local management capability for S380+AP371 will be supported through September 30.
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) is the next-generation Wi-Fi standard to be launched, also known as IEEE 802.11be or extremely high throughput (EHT). Based on Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 7 introduces technologies such as 320 MHz bandwidth, 4096-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), multi-resource unit (RU), multi-link operation (MLO), enhanced multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO), and multi-AP coordination. Drawing on these cutting-edge technologies, Wi-Fi 7 delivers a higher data transmission rate and lower latency than Wi-Fi 6. The network throughput of Wi-Fi 7 is expected to increase to more than 30 Gbps, about three times that of Wi-Fi 6.
