Huawei launches 5G-powered Wi-Fi 6 routers

Huawei launched 10 all-new air engine Wi-Fi 6 series models for the Asia Pacific region which are ideal for laying a high-quality fully-wireless campus.

The products stand out with technological innovations such as industry-unique dual-band smart antennas, lossless roaming and dynamic turbo (an intelligent application acceleration technology), said a press release on Tuesday.

Among the new models, the flagship air engine Wi-Fi 6 8760 series boasts 16 spatial streams to deliver 10 Gbps wireless throughput and beyond.

According to Huawei’s forecasts, Wi-Fi 6 will be deployed by 90 per cent of enterprises by 2023, making Wi-Fi underlying network technology required for efficient enterprise production and service digitalisation.

Li Xing, president of the Campus Network Domain, Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line, said: “As new digital services are constantly emerging in enterprises, existing Wi-Fi 5 networks have already encountered bottlenecks that prevent them from meeting these new services.”

Besides, nascent technologies such as 5G, IoT and AI are accelerating the construction of new infrastructure. And as an important part of this new infrastructure, data centres are evolving into the intelligence era from the virtualisation era.

To keep up with, Huawei has also announced the all-new CloudFabric solution built for the intelligence era.

The CloudFabric is built on flagship CloudEngine switches (with embedded AI chips and the highest 400GE port density), industry-unique iLossless algorithms, and iMaster NCE-based autonomous driving network management and control system.

“Enterprise digital transformation is entering a new phase of intelligence, where AI is being widely applied in data centres,” said Wu Yisheng, senior solution director at CTO Office, Huawei Enterprise Business Group.
