Abstract

With development of the big data era, Wi-Fi coverage is increasingly demanded for both indoor and outdoor areas. As one of the leading vendors in wireless communications technology, Huawei launches a series of 802.11ac Wave 2 outdoor wireless access points (APs) and solutions.

Tolly evaluated Huawei 802.11ac Wave 2 outdoor APs’ performance and features. APs under test include: AP8050DN, AP8150DN, AP8082DN and AP8182DN. These models are ideal for high user density outdoor scenarios, such as stadiums, plazas, shopping streets, theme parks, etc.

AP8082DN and AP8182DN are Huawei’s high end outdoor 802.11ac Wave 2 APs with 4x4 MIMO and 4 spatial streams. Specifically, AP8182DN supports 2.4GHz/5GHz band switchover to provide dual 5GHz radios.

AP8050DN and AP8150DN are Huawei’s standard outdoor 802.11ac Wave 2 APs with 2x2 MIMO and 2 spatial streams. Specifically, AP8150DN supports 2.4GHz/5GHz band switchover to provide dual 5GHz radios.
