Huawei took the lead in completing the industry's first Wi-Fi 7 AP performance test by the independent Tolly lab. According to the test results, Huawei's Wi-Fi 7 AP provides over 13 Gbps real-world performance and 4.33 Gbps throughput for a single Wi-Fi 7 endpoint. Indeed, these blazing-fast speeds are unparalleled, going beyond anything recorded in previous Wi-Fi performance tests.
Excerpts from Tolly's test report:
• The 6 GHz radio of each Huawei Wi-Fi 7 AP (AirEngine 8771-X1T) can provide up to 4.33 Gbps throughput for a single Wi-Fi 7 endpoint, which is the best single-user performance that Tolly has tested so far.
• Each Huawei Wi-Fi 7 AP (AirEngine 8771-X1T) provides up to 13.25 Gbps wireless network throughput, which is the highest AP throughput that Tolly has tested so far.
Wi-Fi 7, the seventh generation of Wi-Fi standards, is also known as IEEE 802.11be, the newly revised standard soon to be released. Wi-Fi 7 comes with all the benefits of Wi-Fi 6/6E, including 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz of Wi-Fi 6 together with the 6 GHz spectrum of Wi-Fi 6E. More importantly, Wi-Fi 7 stands out with all-round technology upgrades, including 320 MHz bandwidth, 4096-QAM modulation, and multi-link operation (MLO). With these traits, Wi-Fi 7 redefines wireless network experience by further improving spatial resource utilization and increasing the theoretical rate of a single radio to astonishing 23 Gbps, 2.4 times that of Wi-Fi 6.
Huawei is an active participant in the formulation of Wi-Fi standards, and also a longstanding contributor to the progression of the entire Wi-Fi industry. Dr. Osama Aboul-Magd, a leading expert at Huawei, serves as the Chair of the 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) standard working group, and another Huawei leading expert Dr. Edward Au is the technical editor of the 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) standard working group.
Over the years, Huawei has invested huge manpower and material resources into Wi-Fi standardization. According to an authoritative third-party report released in 2021, Huawei ranked No. 1 in terms of contributions to Wi-Fi 7 standardization, as well as overall contributions to standardization from Wi-Fi 4 to Wi-Fi 7.
Alongside such years of dedication to Wi-Fi standardization, Huawei has accumulated an abundance of innovative technologies and patents. Indeed, Huawei has always been at the forefront of Wi-Fi standards, culminating in Huawei's launch of the world's first enterprise-class Wi-Fi 7 AP.
Huawei's enterprise-class Wi-Fi 7 AP — AirEngine 8771-X1T — stands out with dynamic-zoom smart antennas and 12 built-in spatial streams. And with an air interface rate of up to 18.67 Gbps, this sophisticated AP allows users to enjoy fiber-like wireless experience.
In Tolly's test, AirEngine 8771-X1T sets a new record for Wi-Fi performance: peak throughput of 4.33 Gbps for a single endpoint, ultra-low 2 ms latency, and overall wireless performance as high as 13.25 Gbps.
Huawei AirEngine 8771-X1T Wi-Fi 7 AP is bound to bring fresh-new network experience to enterprises of all sizes and meet their urgent need to efficiently digitalize services. Particularly, Huawei's Wi-Fi 7 AP offers a smoother and more reliable wireless network in high-density, high-bandwidth, and low-latency use cases, such as metaverse, Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) education, manufacturing Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), industrial control, telemedicine, and warehousing. This injects new vitality into the wireless and intelligent transformation of diverse industries and unlocks more new applications.
