Unpacking the H3C EWP-WA6022H
Redefining Enterprise Wi-Fi
H3C WA6022H Wall-plate Access Point | SKU: EWP-WA6022H |
More Than Just an Access Point
The EWP-WA6022H Difference
The H3C EWP-WA6022H is an indoor, wall-plate AP that delivers high-speed, dual-band Wi-Fi. What sets it apart is its unique design, featuring four Ethernet ports (one of which is PoE-Out) and an RJ11 pass-through port. This allows it to serve not only as a wireless access point but also as a compact, in-room wired network switch. It’s a perfect fit for hotels, dormitories, and offices where you need to provide both wireless and wired connectivity to multiple devices without the clutter of extra hardware.

The Power of Wi-Fi 6 Technologies
The EWP-WA6022H leverages the full suite of Wi-Fi 6 innovations to provide a superior user experience:
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA): This technology enables the AP to transmit data to multiple devices simultaneously, significantly improving efficiency and reducing latency in high-density environments.
Multi-User Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO): MU-MIMO allows multiple users to communicate with the AP at the same time, boosting network capacity.
BSS Colouring: This feature reduces co-channel interference by “colouring” different Wi-Fi networks, allowing devices to ignore signals from neighbouring networks that are not relevant to them.
Target Wake Time (TWT): TWT optimises battery life for client devices by allowing them to schedule when they need to wake up to send and receive data, reducing power consumption during idle periods.
Intelligent Management and Security
The EWP-WA6022H offers flexible management options to suit any deployment strategy. It can be deployed as a traditional “Fit AP,” centrally managed by an H3C wireless controller, providing fine-grained control and unified policy enforcement. For businesses seeking a simplified, scalable solution, the “Cloud AP” mode integrates with H3C’s Cloudnet platform, offering zero-touch provisioning and easy management through a cloud-based interface.
In terms of security, the device supports the latest WPA3 encryption standard and includes robust built-in security features to protect your network from unauthorised access and cyber threats.
Ideal Use Cases
The compact and versatile design of the H3C EWP-WA6022H makes it the perfect solution for:
Hotels and Hospitality: Providing a dedicated, high-speed connection for each room.
Student Housing: Ensuring reliable Wi-Fi for numerous users in a confined space.
Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities: Offering secure and consistent connectivity for medical devices and staff.
Small to Medium-Sized Offices: A sleek, efficient solution for providing both wired and wireless access.
In conclusion, the H3C EWP-WA6022H is a powerful and intelligent solution that brings the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 to the enterprise edge. Its unique wall-plate form factor, coupled with advanced features and flexible management options, makes it a true standout in the next generation of networking hardware.
