ENP Series Native Wireless Access Controller Cards
Huawei ENP series cards build a converged wired/wireless network without the need to purchase separate ACs. When integrated with Huawei’s Ethernet Network Processor (ENP), the ENP series can function as a combined switch and AC card or an AC card only. The native data access, switching services, and wireless access capabilities reduce the cost of buying and maintaining separate devices and streamline wireless transmission.
ENP cards provide forwarding capacity of up to 4 Tbit/s and simplify O&M with unified user and bandwidth management. They are scalable up to 6,000 APs, 4,000 VLANs, and 64,000 users (with 4 ENP cards).
Get the best of wired and wireless connectivity with lower CAPEX/OPEX and better real-time performance
- Converged LPU/AC eliminates the need to purchase independent ACs, which saves CAPEX; unified management reduces OPEX
- Encapsulates/decapsulates CAPWAP packets on a service card in the switch; after decapsulation, forwards wireless packets in the same way as wired packets (up to 4 Tbit/s), speeding wireless forwarding
- Eliminates delays in wireless transmission to independent ACs; proven high-performance Huawei technology with high-speed chips; 1+1 HSB or N+1 intra-chassis backup, inter-chassis backup in a CSS
- Enhanced network security with multiple authentication and encryption modes and security protections; supports unified access controls
- Flexible interfaces (RJ45/SFP/SFP+) for use in Huawei S12700 series switches as well as S9700 and S7700 high-end chassis switches (after upgrade)
