Product overview
Overview
H3C WA2620X-AGNP access point (AP) is a new-generation AP that supports 802.11n and can work
in fit or fat mode. A fit AP can work with an access controller (AC) or wireless switch to provide
WLAN access. A fat AP can provide WLAN access alone. Figure 1 shows a typical networking
scenario for WA2620X-AGNP APs.
