Huawei eKitEngine AP761

The Huawei AP761 is an eKitEngine series access point supporting the Wi-Fi 6 standard. It operates with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ax protocols in the 2.4 GHz band and IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac/ax protocols in the 5 GHz band. Its maximum theoretical throughput is 574 Mb/s in the 2.4 GHz band and 1201 Mb/s in the 5 GHz band. The device supports MU-MIMO (simultaneous transmission and reception of data from multiple users), BSS coloring (transmission identification to reduce interference), and TWT (Target Wake Time – a feature that limits energy consumption). The access point has an outdoor-ready enclosure with an IP68 protection rating, suitable for wall or pole mounting. It features integrated directional antennas with a main beam width of 65° horizontally and 40° (2.4 GHz) / 20° (5 GHz) vertically, with a gain of 10 dBi in 2.4 GHz and 11 dBi in 5 GHz. These antennas provide excellent transmission coverage, capable of covering large wireless network areas. The device includes 1 gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000 Mb/s) and 1 SFP slot. Power can only be supplied using PoE in the 802.3af/at standard; the manufacturer suggests using the 802.3at standard (some features are limited with 802.3af).

The offered product can operate in several modes: Fat AP, Fit AP, or Cloud. In Fat AP mode, the device functions independently, allowing you to configure it as a regular wireless router. Cloud mode enables connecting the device to a controller located in the cloud, while Fit AP mode is used to connect to another physical WLAN AC controller. Solutions from the eKitEngine series enable you to create an extensive and efficient wireless network that can cover very large areas. The devices support data roaming, bandwidth control, and various authentication methods. The AP761 is suitable for many networks requiring outdoor coverage, such as restaurants, pools, or parks.
