Description

📘 Product Description

The Huawei AP362 is a compact and scalable Wi‑Fi 6 indoor access point that combines robust connectivity with intelligent signal optimisation. It supports simultaneous dual‑band operation (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), leveraging 2×2 MU‑MIMO, OFDMA, and built‑in smart antennas to adjust wireless coverage dynamically, resulting in improved signal quality and reduced interference.

With a device‑rate throughput approaching 2.975 Gbps, the AP362 provides exceptional performance for high‑density environments where multiple devices are connected concurrently. It supports flexible deployment modes — Fit (centralised controller), Fat (standalone), Leader, or Cloud‑based management — enabling administrators to tailor network control and scalability to organisational needs.

The AP362 also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af) and DC power options for flexible installation, along with robust security features (WPA2/WPA3) and advanced wireless features like beamforming, BSS color, and TWT to further enhance efficiency and user experience.
