Bangkok--17 Mar--Francom Asia
On February 20, Huawei unveiled the AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 series products, including 10 new Wi-Fi 6 access point (AP) models, at the 2020 product and solution launch event in London. These all-new products are ideally suited to help enterprises step into the fully wireless campus era. Powered by these new additions, enterprises will accelerate their digital transformation journey by building fully connected, all-wireless office and production campus networks with unprecedented levels of office, production, and service experience. Of these new offerings, the flagship AirEngine 8760 AP delivers an air-interface data rate of up to 10.75 Gbps, twice the industry average. This AP achieves an air-interface data rate of over 10 Gbps, setting a new benchmark for Wi-Fi 6 products.
At the event, Huawei launched three series of products: AirEngine 8700, AirEngine 6700, and AirEngine 5700, covering an extensive range of indoor and outdoor application scenarios. These series will significantly improve network experience in the following scenarios:
High-density terminal access scenarios, such as office spaces, conference rooms, stadiums, terminal buildings, and stations
High-definition (HD) video application scenarios, such as Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality (VR/AR) teaching and 4K/8K video conferencing
Campus-wide mobile production scenarios, such as Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) robots
IoT and Wi-Fi convergence scenarios, such as shopping malls, supermarkets, and smart campuses
Outdoor public network service scenarios, such as plazas and streets
More and more enterprises are currently using or are considering using Wi-Fi 6 as their preferred campus network access technology. Tam Dell'Oro, the Founder and CEO of Dell'Oro Group, comments on Wi-Fi 6: "We are seeing Wi-Fi 6 beginning to ramp significantly as the market moves from early adopters of new technology to the mass-market in 2020. Manufacturers are now rolling out second-generation Wi-Fi 6 technology and passing along the rich features at prices not much higher than Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 4 products.”
As we usher in the fully wireless campus era, Wi-Fi 6 networks must have these three distinct characteristics: lightning speed, always-on mobility, and 100 Mbps @ everywhere.
Huawei never ceases to combine AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 innovations with specific customer scenarios in order to bring greater benefits to customers.
In enterprise office scenarios, Huawei AirEngine will accelerate smart offices. Employees will shift from traditional communication via voice and text at fixed workspaces to more efficient collaboration with HD video and multi-screen interaction at any location.
In education scenarios, Huawei AirEngine will promote the rapid popularization of AR/VR-assisted immersive teaching. Students will transform their learning styles, shifting from traditional textbooks to immersive interactive learning. This shift will make learning more engaging and deliver quality education resources to students who live in the remotest areas, promoting education equality.
In manufacturing and logistics scenarios, Huawei AirEngine will make unmanned factories and distribution a reality. Intelligent robots will join to handle repetitive, mechanical, and dangerous jobs, driving factories towards automated production.
In public service scenarios, Huawei AirEngine will transform service quality, promote public service organizations to offer personalized online services that are available anytime and anywhere, as well as enhance customer satisfaction.
Huawei launched the industry's first commercial Wi-Fi 6 product in 2017. Since its debut, this product has been widely recognized and quickly deployed in various industries around the world. Huawei ranks first in both the global (except North America) and Chinese Wi-Fi 6 markets, according to the global Wi-Fi 6 indoor AP market share from 2018 Q3 to 2019 Q3 by Dell'Oro Group.
