Huawei AP160 Wi-Fi 6 Access Point – AX1800, Wall Plate, Dual Band, PoE

Description

The Huawei eKitEngine AP160 Wireless Access Point is a modern Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) indoor access point designed for high-performance wireless coverage in compact environments such as hotels, offices, apartments, and commercial spaces. Its wall plate design allows easy installation in standard 86×86 mm junction boxes, making it ideal for room-based deployments and structured cabling environments.

Equipped with dual-band 2×2 MIMO radios, the AP160 operates simultaneously on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, delivering a combined wireless throughput of up to 1.775 Gbps. This ensures fast, stable connectivity for applications such as HD streaming, VoIP, video conferencing, and cloud-based services.

The device is optimized for high-density environments, supporting up to 128 concurrent users (recommended ~48 users), making it suitable for hotel rooms, classrooms, and office spaces. Its smart antenna system dynamically adjusts signal strength and direction to maintain optimal coverage and reduce interference, improving overall wireless performance.

The AP160 includes two Gigabit Ethernet ports:

• 1 × GE uplink port (PoE input)
• 1 × GE downlink port for additional wired devices

This allows flexible deployment, enabling both wireless coverage and wired connectivity from a single device.

Powered via PoE (802.3af), the AP eliminates the need for additional power adapters, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter. It also consumes only ~9.1W, making it energy-efficient for continuous operation.

The AP160 supports multiple operation modes including Fit, Fat, and Cloud, allowing integration with Huawei wireless controllers or cloud-based management platforms. This flexibility makes it suitable for both standalone and centrally managed network architectures.

With its compact design, high performance, and enterprise-grade features, the Huawei AP160 Wi-Fi 6 Access Point is an excellent choice for organizations seeking reliable, scalable, and cost-effective wireless networking.
