802.11 ax (Wi-Fi 6) high-efficiency features
IEEE 802.11ax allows enterprises to deliver high performance wireless LAN services with increased throughput, enabling more clients in dense environments and bringing power efficiency to IoT devices, while remaining fully
backward compatible with existing 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac deployments. The 802.11ax standard is a dramatic step forward in wireless LAN technology for all organisations. Some of the key 802.11ax features enabled on the OmniAccess Stellar AP1301H include:
• Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) enabling more clients to simultaneously operate in the same channel and thereby improve efficiency, latency, and throughput. OFDMA can concurrently address
multiple clients in both directions downlink (DL) and uplink (UL), including OFDMA Resource Units (RUs). OFDMA is very effective in environments where there are many devices with short frames demanding lower latency.
• Multi-user multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) allowing more data to be transferred at once and enabling an access point to handle a larger number of concurrent clients
• 1024 quadrature amplitude modulation mode (1024-QAM) boosting peak data-rates by as much as 25 percent
• BSS Coloring improving spatial reuse in dense environments by providing a mechanism for colour coding different overlapping BSS’s, allowing more simultaneous transmissions
• Extended Range (ER) providing increased coverage in scenarios where receiving side encounters high path loss and channel delay spread, especially in outdoor environments
• Target Wake Time (TWT) making Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 devices more power efficient. This capability lets client devices sleep much longer, and wake up to less contention, extending the battery life of smart phones, IoT sensors, and other devices.
• Transmit beamforming improving signal power resulting in significantly higher rates at a given range

On premises deployment with OmniVista 2500 Network Management System (NMS)
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1301H can be managed on-premises from the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 2500 NMS.
For small- to medium-size enterprises, Wi-Fi Express provides secure web managed (HTTPS) cluster deployment.
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1301H by default can operate in a cluster architecture to provide simplified plug-and-play deployment. The AP cluster is an autonomous system that consists of a group of OmniAccess Stellar APs which is managed by one AP that is elected as the primary virtual manager. One AP cluster supports up to 255 APs.
The AP cluster architecture ensures simplified and quick deployment. Once the first AP is configured using the configuration wizard, the remaining APs in the network will come up automatically with an updated configuration.
This ensures the whole network is up and functional within a few minutes.
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1301H also supports secure zero-touch provisioning with Alcatel-Lucent OXO Connect
R2 which provides a mechanism by which all APs in a cluster will obtain bootstrap data securely from an on
premises OXO Connect.
The W-Fi Express mode supports role-based management access to the AP cluster which includes Admin, Viewer, and GuestOperator access. GuestOperator access simplifies guest account creation and management, and can
be used by any non-IT person such as a front desk worker or receptionist. The OmniAccess Stellar AP1301H also supports a built-in customisable captive portal which enables customers to offer secure and seamless guest
access experience.

Quality of Service for Unified Communications apps
The OmniAccess Stellar AP1301H supports fine-tuned, Quality of Service (QoS) parameters to differentiate and provide appropriate QoS for each application such as voice, video and desktop sharing. Application aware RF
scanning avoids interruption of real-time applications.

RF management
Radio Dynamic Adjustment (RDA) technology automatically assigns channels and power settings, provides DFS/ TPC, and ensures that APs stay clear of all radio frequency interference (RFI) sources to deliver a reliable, highperformance WLAN. The OmniAccess Stellar AP1301H can be configured to provide part-time or dedicated scanning for spectrum analysis and wireless intrusion protection.
