The Huawei eKitEngine AP162E is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 wall plate access point delivering up to 2.975Gbps, dual-band coverage, smart antennas, and PoE power—ideal for hotels, offices, and SMB deployments.
Description
The Huawei eKitEngine AP162E Wireless Access Point is an advanced Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) indoor access point designed to provide high-speed, reliable wireless connectivity in modern enterprise environments. Built for small to medium-sized businesses, hospitality, education, and office deployments, the AP162E combines compact design with powerful performance.
This device features dual-band 2×2 MIMO radios operating on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, delivering a total wireless throughput of up to 2.975 Gbps.
This makes it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video conferencing, cloud services, VoIP, and HD streaming.
The AP162E adopts a wall plate design (86×86 mm), allowing easy installation in standard wall junction boxes, making it perfect for hotel rooms, apartments, and office environments.
Equipped with smart antenna technology, the access point dynamically adjusts signal strength and direction based on the environment, ensuring optimal coverage and stable connectivity for users across the space.
It supports up to 128 concurrent users (recommended around 48 users), making it suitable for medium-density deployments such as classrooms, offices, and guest rooms.
The AP162E includes:
- 1 × GE uplink port (PoE input)
- 1 × GE downlink port
This allows both wireless coverage and wired connectivity for devices like IP phones, PCs, or IPTV systems.
Powered via PoE (802.3af), the AP simplifies deployment by eliminating the need for additional power adapters. It also consumes only ~9.1W, making it energy-efficient for continuous operation.
The AP supports multiple operation modes including Fit, Fat, and Cloud, enabling flexible deployment as a standalone device or as part of a centrally managed WLAN using Huawei controllers.
With its high throughput, intelligent coverage optimization, and compact design, the Huawei AP162E Access Point is an excellent choice for organizations looking to deploy scalable, secure, and high-performance wireless networks.
