What are the differences between huawei and cisco wlan products
1. What are the Differences between Huawei
and Cisco WLAN Products?
Want to build your enterprise wireless network? Consider Huawei WLAN solution,
Huawei WLAN series products include Huawei Indoor Access Points, Outdoor
Access Points, Access Controllers and WLAN accessories. Huawei Indoor Access
Points feature high access density that demonstrates high quality and provide high
performance that ensures a good user experience while Outdoor Access Points
provide industrial-grade outdoor protection features and support short- and medium-
distance wireless networking. Huawei Access Controllers build high-quality and
competitive WLANs and provide refined management and wireless access, industry-
leading forwarding capacity, and full compatibility with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards.

Remarks:
1. The models in blue refer to Huawei 802.11ac APs; the models in grey are Cisco old
products, which are not the mainstream.

12. 2. Cisco 3600 series equipped with 11ac card supports 802.11ac. The AP5030DN or
AP5130DN can be used for competition.
3. At August 2014, Cisco does not release 802.11ac outdoor APs. The
AP8030DN/AP8130DN can be used to compete with Cisco outdoor APs.
