Huawei AP263 Wall Plate Wi-Fi 6 Access Point – Full Product Description

The Huawei AP263 Access Point is a discreet and high-performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wall plate access point designed for deployment in hotels, offices, hospitals, and other environments in Kenya where aesthetics and seamless integration are paramount. Its compact design allows it to be easily mounted in standard wall junction boxes, providing fast, reliable, and secure wireless connectivity without disrupting the room’s decor. Operating on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, the AP263 delivers enhanced speeds, increased capacity, and reduced latency compared to previous Wi-Fi generations.   

Key Features of the Huawei AP263 Access Point:

1. Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Technology: Supports the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard, offering significantly faster speeds, increased capacity, and improved performance in dense user environments.  
2. Dual-Band Concurrent Operation (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz): Operates on both frequency bands simultaneously, providing flexibility for connecting various devices and optimizing performance based on device capabilities and distance from the AP.  
3. Wall Plate Design: Integrates seamlessly into standard wall junction boxes for a clean and unobtrusive installation.
4. High Data Rates: Supports high data rates for demanding applications such as video streaming, online conferencing, and large file transfers. Specify the maximum data rates for each band if available.  
5. OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access): Improves spectral efficiency and reduces latency by allowing multiple users to share channels simultaneously.  
6. MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output): Allows the access point to communicate with multiple devices concurrently, enhancing network capacity and overall performance.  
7. PoE (Power over Ethernet) Support: Can be powered via PoE, simplifying installation and reducing cabling requirements. Specify the PoE standard supported (e.g., 802.3af/at).  
8. Multiple SSIDs: Supports multiple SSIDs (Service Set Identifiers) to create separate wireless networks for different user groups (e.g., guests, employees).
9. Enhanced Security Features: Includes robust security features such as WPA3 encryption to protect your wireless network from unauthorized access.
