Huawei eKitEngine AP265E 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 (2x2 MIMO) and 5 GHz (2x2 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. 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 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 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. Together, they provide the optimal coverage, direction and signal quality for each access STA, and offer seamless and smooth wireless network experience to users.
Wired and Wireless Security Guarantee
To ensure data security, Huawei APs integrate wired and wireless security measures and provide comprehensive security protection.
Authentication and encryption for wireless access
The AP supports WEP, WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA3-SAE, WPA/WPA2-PPSK, and WPA/WPA2/WPA3-802.1X
authentication/encryption modes to ensure the security of wireless networks. The authentication
mechanism used to authenticate user identities so that only authorized users can access the network resources. The encryption mechanism is used to encrypt data transmitted over wireless links to ensure that data can only be received and parsed by authorized users.
Authentication and encryption for wired access
The AP access control mechanism ensures that only authorized users can access the AP. Control and
provisioning of wireless access point (CAPWAP) link protection and Datagram Transport Layer Security
(DTLS) encryption provide security guarantee and improve data transmission security between the AP and
WAC.
Automatic Radio Calibration
Automatic radio calibration allows the AP to collect signal strength, channel, and other parameters of surrounding APs and generate an AP topology according to the collected data. Based on interference from surrounding environments and their loads, the AP automatically adjusts its transmit power and working channel to make the network operate at the optimal performance. In this way, network reliability and user experience are improved.
Cloud Management
The AP supports cloud-based management. It provides various authentication functions, such as PSK and Portal authentication, without the need of a WAC or an authentication server. This greatly simplifies networking and reduces CAPEX. In addition, the AP can be deployed on the Huawei SNC platform to implement cloud-based network planning, deployment, inspection, and O&M.
Deployment and O&M Through HUAWEI eKit App
The HUAWEI eKit App supports Wi-Fi-based deployment and barcode scanning–based deployment. After the deployment is complete, you can perform more project maintenance operations on the HUAWEI eKit App.
Wi-Fi-based deployment
Quick deployment mode: You can use a mobile phone to connect to the management Wi-Fi network of an AP to deploy a network project. In this way, devices can automatically go onboarded and be remotely managed on the HUAWEI eKit App.
Barcode scanning–based deployment
Another deployment mode: Use a mobile phone to scan the serial number (SN) of the device chassis and synchronize the device information to HUAWEI eKit to implement device onboarding management.
