Native Wireless Access Controller Cards
Huawei native AC cards build a converged wired/wireless network without the need to purchase separate ACs. Native AC cards can function as common cards that provide data access and switching services while implementing AC functions.
Native AC Cards are applicable to Huawei S12700 and S7700 agile modular switches.
Low Network Construction Costs
Integrating wired and wireless management on one card eliminates the need to purchase additional AC devices, helping customers maximize their ROI.
Large Wireless Forwarding Capacity
CAPWAP packets are encapsulated or decapsulated on an native AC card in the modular switch. Decapsulated wireless packets are forwarded in the same way as wired packets through a simple forwarding path. The forwarding capacity of the entire device can reach up to 4 Tbit/s.
Unified Wired/Wireless Convergence Management
Native AC enables the deployment of wired and wireless user management points on the same device to implement wired and wireless convergence management, simplifying network O&M.
