H3C World-First Wi-Fi 8 WA8648 Flagship Penta-Band AP Secures "Best of Show Award Runners-up" at Interop Tokyo 2026

TOKYO, June 12, 2026 - Interop Tokyo 2026, the premier global ICT exhibition, concluded today, with H3C capturing a major international honor. The H3C Wi-Fi 8 WA8648 Flagship Penta-Band Access Point stood out from hundreds of competing entries to win the prestigious Best of Show Award Runners-up, recognized for its R&D excellence and architectural breakthroughs.

As one of the most authoritative recognition in the global ICT industry, the Interop Tokyo Best of Show Awards are rigorously evaluated by a panel of top-tier industry experts. The award serves as a benchmark for measuring technical prowess, innovation, and commercial deployment value. Globally debuted by H3C, this next-generation Wi-Fi 8 AP delivers stable, low-latency, and near-lossless wireless connectivity across highly congested, high-interference, and high-mobility environments.

Multi-AP Collaboration: Achieving Ultimate Seamless Roaming

To eliminate critical industry pain points—such as connection drops, latency, and service disruptions experienced by AGVs, mobile inspection equipment, mobile office devices, and portable terminals moving across diverse zones—the product features the groundbreaking Multi-AP Collaborative (MAPC) architecture. This architecture integrates multiple physical APs into a logically unified network, disrupting legacy single-point operation models to fully unleash aggregate network efficiency.

Leveraging Seamless Mobility Domain (SMD) technology, the device proactively reserves link resources and synchronizes data to perform active roaming handovers, eliminating network fluctuations at the root and delivering an experience comparable to wired connections. Furthermore, the product combines native Wi-Fi 8 capabilities with H3C’s proprietary AI-Collaborative Roaming technology to dynamically optimize terminal transmit power and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) aggregation links, reducing the roaming packet loss rate by 25%. Testing results demonstrate that the product achieves an average network latency of less than 50ms across 95% of the coverage area, while keeping the overall packet loss rate below 0.1%—realizing a 5G-like lossless roaming experience that fully guarantees the continuous and stable operation of various mobile business services.

"Wireless + Sensing" Convergence: Empowering Intelligent Network Management

H3C’s Wi-Fi 8 AP breaks through the limitations of traditional wireless devices that only handle communication. It pioneers the integration of "wireless communication + high-precision human sensing" on top of Wi-Fi 8 technology. Utilizing the native Broadband Network Engine (BNE) inference engine and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) time-series algorithms, the AP deeply analyzes Channel State Information (CSI) echo signals. This allows it to accurately identify human movements, presence, and even respiratory signs, successfully overcoming sensing challenges in complex scenarios involving obstructions and multipath propagation. The technology is widely applicable to diverse use cases, such as passive monitoring in smart campuses and human safety protection.

Concurrently, the device autonomously learns multi-dimensional data, including terminal signals, network traffic, and roaming behaviors, to precisely identify abnormal terminals and maintain real-time, network-wide awareness of operational status. This enables dynamic, on-demand allocation of network resources. While the cloud utilizes Deep Q-Network (DQN) reinforcement learning algorithms for model training, the AP’s BNE core executes millisecond-level real-time inference at the edge. This dynamic optimization of network resource configuration and scheduling strategies comprehensively upgrades the user experience across all terminals.

Deepening Global Markets through Technological Innovation

This recognition serves as a powerful testament to H3C Group’s innovation and strength in wireless technology within the international market. Looking ahead, H3C will continue to delve into cutting-edge technologies, align with global digital and intelligent trends, and consistently iterate its digital products and solutions. Simultaneously, the company will actively expand its overseas footprint and deepen global ecosystem cooperation to co-create a new future of intelligent connectivity with customers and partners worldwide.
