Product Overview
Huawei eKitEngine AP362E is an indoor access point (AP) in compliance with the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard. It provides
services simultaneously on the 2.4 GHz (2x2 MIMO) and 5 GHz (2x2 MIMO) frequency bands, delivering a data rate of up
to 2.975 Gbps.
The product adopts a round design with a diameter of 180 mm, which is better blended with the decoration style. The AP
supports multiple installation modes, such as wall or ceiling mounting, with simple installation steps; metal mounting
brackets are durable and resistant to deformation. It is suitable for indoor coverage scenarios such as small- and medium-
sized enterprises (SMEs), budget chain hotels, commercial stores, and primary and secondary 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 Wi-Fi 6 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 multi-user access scenarios.
High-Speed Dual-Band 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 0.575 Gbps 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.
Wired and Wireless Security Guarantee
To ensure data security, this AP integrates wired and wireless security functions and provides 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 is used to
authenticate user identities so that only authorized users can access 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.
Make SME Network Easier and Smarter
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.
