Huawei Technology Japan Co., Ltd. (Huawei Japan) will release the compact Wi-Fi router "HUAWEI WiFi AX3" compatible with Wi-Fi 6 on August 14th. The estimated market price is 9980 yen (excluding tax).
Although it is a product that costs less than 10,000 yen, it is characterized by being compatible with 160MHz wide channel communication in Wi-Fi 6 or IEEE 802.11ax. As a result, the maximum communication speed when connected to the 5 GHz band is 2402 Mbps (574 Mbps when connected to the 2.4 GHz band).
The CPU is equipped with the company's original "Gigahome 650" (quad core, 1.4GHz), 256MB memory and four movable antennas, and also supports 2-stream MU-MIMO and beamforming. The recommended number of connections is 128.
Gigahome, the on-board CPU, has obtained Level 5 certification, which exceeds the commercial level, in the international evaluation standard "CC EAL" for information security. The security function "Huawei HomeSec" including this saves information such as user setting information required for Wi-Fi connection and user's personal access information in different zones, and automatically recognizes unauthorized access and puts it on the blacklist. By adding and controlling access, it is said that high security is realized.
In addition, it also has the function of "Wi-Fi 6 Plus", which is the company's original technology, and it is said that it will speed up communication with compatible slave units. At the moment, the only compatible handset is the HUAWEI P40 Pro 5G.
It also has a "Huawei Share" function that allows you to connect to Wi-Fi by simply holding an NFC-equipped Android smartphone over it. In addition, it supports "Huawei HiLink" that can be connected to a Wi-Fi slave unit by pressing the button on the main unit. This button also supports WPS.
It also supports "TWT (Target Wake Time)", which is the standard technology of Wi-Fi 6. By adjusting the data transmission interval to reduce unnecessary communication, it is possible to reduce battery consumption on the Wi-Fi handset side such as smartphones by about 30%.
The back of the main unit is equipped with a gigabit-compatible WAN x 1 port and LAN x 3 port. The size of the main body when the antenna is folded is about 225 x about 131.9 x about 30.9 mm (width x depth x height), and the weight is about 430 g.
