Modern industrial design
H3C WA6630X access points are designed in the shape of a perfect sphere, which improves the image of a group of buildings or a city, helping to meet the growing demand from users for wireless access outdoors, for example, in cities and near attractions.
DL/UL MU-MIMO technology (Wi-Fi 6)
H3C’s WA6630X access points support DL/UL MU-MIMO, the most important feature of the 802.11ax standard. DL/UL MU-MIMO technology allows the access point to transmit data simultaneously to several devices, which significantly increases the efficiency of data exchange and the quality of connections.
Special molded integrated cable
With the growing demand for wireless network coverage outside buildings, the number of interfaces on access points is increasing. An increase in the number of interfaces affects the aesthetics and convenience of installation sites. The WA6630X access points use a professional integrated 32-pin cable that combines an Ethernet port and a console port. Thus, the access point has only one external interface, which greatly simplifies the installation of equipment. At the same time, reducing the number of cables improves the appearance of the installed equipment.
Highly efficient uplink ports with support for various speeds
The Ethernet ports of the WA6630X access points support various transmission speeds in auto-negotiation mode, including 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps.
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)
The 802.11ax standard uses OFDMA technology, which allows data to be transmitted to multiple users simultaneously. OFDMA involves dividing a channel into subchannels, called resource units (RUs), with specific subcarriers, and assigning such resource units to different users for simultaneous transmission. OFDMA technology provides parallel multi-user transmission and reduced latency by eliminating channel contention.
Spatial multiplexing
802.11 ax assigns a different color to each BSS, which helps the WA6630X detect adjacent channel interference and stop transmission. If a radio detects 802.11ax signals from a BSS with the same color as the radio’s BSS color, it is detected as adjacent channel interference and causes data transmission to stop. This allows you to optimize the use of the same frequencies and increase network capacity.
Target Wake Time (TWT)
The TWT mechanism provides increased energy efficiency and reduces competition for resources by increasing client sleep periods and the ability to coordinate the time at which clients access the transmission medium.
Built-in Bluetooth module
H3C’s WA6630X access points feature built-in Bluetooth for console connectivity up to 10 meters away, reducing installation and maintenance effort, simplifying troubleshooting and providing support negotiation of iBeacon parameters.
Support for services for IoT
Taking into account various use cases in the IoT era, at access points The WA6630X has an IoT port for installing H3C T300 IoT modules. They provide support for various short-range, low-power IoT services such as BLE, RFID, ZigBee and UWB. The IoT port can connect up to ten T300 modules. Both this IoT port and the network port support Link Aggregation Control (LACP) technology to improve availability and throughput.
Built-in GPS
H3C WA6630X access points support operation and maintenance using a map-linked access point location. The administrator can receive information about current scenarios in real time, for example, about wireless coverage in a city, a group of buildings and other parameters. At the same time, you can get a general idea of how the network works at a glance. Wireless coverage, traffic flows, and map information are linked together in real time, making wireless network management more visual and simple.
Real-Time Spectrum Security (RTSG)
Real-Time Spectrum Security (RTSG) is H3C’s innovative professional health monitoring software solution for the wireless spectrum. H3C’s 802.11ax series access points support a built-in RF data acquisition module that allows you to build tightly integrated, real-time spectrum monitoring and protection systems.
RTSG console is embedded into the intelligent management system iMC (intelligent Management Center) and provides data acquisition through the CAPWAP tunnel management system and sensor access points. Thanks to this, you can control the quality of the wireless network signal, monitor trends and generate tamper notifications 24×7. Active polling and RF interference detection (WiFi or non-WiFi) in each 2.4 GHz/5 GHz band provides graphical display of real-time spectral density FFT plot, spectrum plot, occupancy map, spectrum event plots, channel gain and increased interference. In addition, RTSG allows you to automatically determine the source of interference, detect the location of unauthorized wireless network equipment, and constantly maintain it in normal operating condition. Combined with the H3C iMC IAR (Intelligent Analysis Report) module, it can provide a complete history of coverage quality in an area, including tracking and playback of its parameters, and automatically generate tailored trend reports, compliance analysis reports and reports audit.
Depending on the user’s control requirements in the wireless network configuration, the RTSG solution can be deployed in local mode or monitoring mode. In local mode, effective spectrum protection is implemented without affecting normal user connectivity and data packet forwarding.
Cellular Coexistence Function (CCF)
H3C uses built-in hardware filters that minimize the impact of interference from 3G/4G cellular networks.
Anchor Access Controller Mode
Anchor AC mode is designed for networks of any size, including small and medium enterprise networks. In anchor access controller mode, the access point can act as a virtual controller for the entire network.
Cloud management
Points H3C cloud-managed access points are designed based on the Cloudnet platform, which allows administrators to manage cloud access points directly, such as viewing the status of cloud access points in real time and downloading configurations from the cloud to cloud access points. This significantly increases the efficiency of the network, increases its security and stability.
Access to the intelligent cloud and optimal cost of ownership of a wireless network
WA6630X access points are 802.11ax compliant and support wireless data rates of 4.8 Gbps on the 5 GHz band and aggregate data rates of 5.4 Gbps on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Thanks to improved adaptive antenna array technology, they are able to increase coverage, improve access density and stability, and also optimize mobile access to the cloud and reduce the total cost of ownership for the wireless network
Local data transfer
When working WA6630X access points in dependent mode with packet forwarding over a wide area network (WAN) are typically installed as data network access devices in branch offices, while wireless access controllers are located in headquarters. In this case, all user data is forwarded from the access point to the access controller and then centrally forwarded by the access controller. WA6630X access points are capable of forwarding packets from a wireless network to a wired network without redirecting them to the access controller locally, which significantly saves the bandwidth of distributed network channels.
Dual IPv4/IPv6 protocol stack (standard IPv6 support
WA6630X access points are fully IPv6 compatible and support dual IPv4/IPv6 protocol stack. Existing IPv4 and IPv6 wired networks can be used in parallel and efficiently to register wireless networks on H3C WX or Oasis series access controllers so that they do not function as isolated information silos.
End-node access control mechanism (EAD)
H3C End user Admission Domination (EAD) combines network access security and endpoint security solutions to Only wireless clients that meet the mandatory requirements of corporate security policies can access the network; this reduces threats from infected wireless clients and generally improves the security level of the wireless network. When used in conjunction with a security policy server, the solution can send reminders to users, isolate and disconnect them from the network if systems are infected or lacking the necessary patches.
Remote data collection and analysis
WA6630X access points can work as remote sensors and analyzer devices. They can capture Wi-Fi packets in the nearby airwaves and store them on a local device in real time for troubleshooting and analysis of optimization opportunities. Remote sensors can poll dedicated operating channels or poll all channels depending on the requirements for monitoring and maintaining a wireless network.
RF Optimization Module (ROE)
WA6630X access points support RF Optimizing Engine (ROE), which effectively increases the number of simultaneous sessions in medium-to-high-density user environments, speeds up streaming media applications, and improves QoS parameters through parameter- and protocol-based RF optimization. Features include fair multi-user access, mixed fair access, interference filtering, speed optimization, spectrum recommendations, IPv4/IPv6 multicast optimization, power management and intelligent guarantees of certain bandwidth, as well as band navigation with the ability to determine priority for the 5 GHz radio module, so that clients with the ability to operate in the 5 GHz band connect first to the 5 GHz radio module, and only then to the 2.4 GHz. RF Management automatically assigns channel and power level, ensures fair airtime distribution, and eliminates all sources of RF interference from the access point to create reliable, high-performance wireless WLANs.
Intelligent load balancing across access points< /h3>
WA6630X access points feature an intelligent load balancer that distributes the load depending on the number of concurrent users and traffic volumes. If a newly connected user exceeds the predefined load limit, the access point will check in real time the location of the wireless client, determine whether to provide access to this client through nearby access points with less load, and only reject the user’s connection if such access points are present. A distinctive feature of the H3C smart load balancing algorithm from existing load balancing mechanisms is that user access is rejected only if it is in an area of overlapping radio coverage from different access points, so that the user’s connection is not denied if the load limit is exceeded, but There are no other access points nearby. This ensures maximum wireless network capacity without the chaotic behavior of the load balancing algorithm.
Eco-friendly design
On WA6630X access points Green solutions are implemented, supporting dynamic power reduction for MIMO (DMPS), advanced automatic power saving mechanisms (E-APSD), and intelligent detection of actual terminal device requirements. They are capable of dynamically adjusting the MIMO operating mode and effectively putting the terminals into sleep mode.
WA6630X access points have an eco-friendly access point mode, which provides the ability to put individual radios on standby and more closely control the power saving mode.
WA6630X access points support innovative per-packet power control (PPC) technology, which significantly reduces standby power consumption and increases battery life of mobile devices.
