Device Introduction
The Huawei AP series outdoor wireless LAN access point provides two models: AP6510DN-AGN,
AP6610DN-AGN. The outdoor AP supports 2.4GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, and has enhanced
coverage performance and protection capabilities. It supports wireless bridging, complies with IEEE
802.11a/b/g/n, connects a large number of users, and works as a Fit AP. The outdoor AP features high
reliability, high security, simple network deployment, automatic AC discovery and configuration, and
real-time management and maintenance.
The APs are recommended for use in residential or commercial properties without wired resources. The
APs can be deployed at both ends of a commercial street or in the building opposite to a commercial
property. The APs must be equipped with external antennas to implement wireless signal coverage.
Different outdoor AP models are sold in different regions depending on whether the APs have passed
the FCC certification.
