Performance Evaluation Details
The Wi-Fi network plays an integral role in enterprise digital transformation. Through the Wi-Fi network, enterprise employees can implement collaborative mobile office, teachers and students can conveniently obtain online learning resources, and people can easily enjoy online office and entertainment in stadiums and departure lounges. With the development of HD 4K video and VR/AR services, people have increasing requirements for bandwidth. The throughput of a single AP becomes an important indicator for measuring network quality.
The expert team at Tolly used the professional third-party tester Spirent TestCenter C50*1 to test the AP7060DN. The negotiated rate of the AP7060DN reached the theoretical value 4.8 Gbit/s. When traffic was sent using the tester, the throughput of the AP reached 3 Gbit/s, which is about four times higher than that of a Wi-Fi 5 AP in the industry. Therefore, the AP7060DN is well-suited to support bandwidth-intensive services in enterprises.
Until now, Wi-Fi 6 terminals have not been widely applied. In the next two to three years, Wi-Fi 4 or 5 terminals and Wi-Fi 6 terminals will coexist for a period of time according to the Unleashing the Power of Wi-Fi, Enterprise-Grade Wi-Fi 6 Forecast 2019-2023 released by Huawei. When enterprise users deploy networks, the terminal compatibility is a factor to be considered.
The Tolly test team has performed compatibility tests on mainstream Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 4, and 802.11b/a/g terminals. The test results show that the Huawei Wi-Fi 6 AP7060DN is compatible with all of the tested terminals, allowing enterprises to develop their services and better plan future network deployment.
In mobile office scenarios, users frequently move, and more and more IoT terminals are deployed. Each single AP faces much heavier utilization. The Wi-Fi 6 standard has many technical considerations for future dense deployment scenarios. For example, Wi-Fi 6 introduces a better scheduling technology for improving the coverage and reducing air interface congestion to bring users an optimal experience. Consistent and reliable data throughput is provided for more users, especially in a densely populated environment.
In the tests conducted by Tolly’s expert team, 1,024 users were successfully connected to an AP7060DN, proving that the AP7060DN has the largest access capacity in the industry. In high-density scenarios, Wi-Fi 6 APs allow enterprises to deploy fewer devices than before without compromising the user experience, saving on enterprise investments.
An era of connectivity of everything is fast approaching. It is predicted that the number of connected devices will reach 100 billion by 2025. The Wi-Fi 6 network features high capacity, large bandwidth, secure transmission in the LAN, and low latency. Therefore, it makes good business sense to deploy a Wi-Fi 6 network to handle the IoT data of enterprises.
Huawei AP7060DN supports external IoT modules for expansion of diversified IoT applications through Bluetooth, RFID, and Zigbee, such as Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) and asset management. The Wi-Fi and IoT networks are therefore converged into one, reducing investments and network deployment time for enterprises while improving efficiency.
“Huawei Wi-Fi 6 AP7060DN achieved outstanding performance in this test,” Yangyang Xu, a test expert at Tolly, said. “The single-user performance has reached 3 Gbit/s, which is higher than the current industry level. In addition, we are also impressed by the Wi-Fi standard compatibility, device capacity, and IoT expansion of this AP. It is indeed an excellent product.”
