Q
What is the typical coverage area of the UAP3300?
A
Indoors, a single UAP3300 covers up to 200 m² (approx. 2,150 ft²) depending on building materials, with optimized beamforming and dynamic power adjustment for consistent performance.
Q
Is the UAP3300 suitable for outdoor deployment?
A
No. The UAP3300 is designed for indoor use only. For outdoor coverage, Huawei recommends its weather-proof outdoor AP series.
Q
How do I install and configure the Huawei UAP3300?
A
Mount the AP on a ceiling or wall bracket, connect PoE+ or DC power, link the uplink port to your network, then adopt and configure it via Agile Controller or cloud management in under 10 minutes.
Q
What is the power consumption of the UAP3300?
A
Typical power consumption is 22 W; maximum is 32 W under full load, compliant with Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) for minimal operational costs.
Q
What warranty and support options are available for the UAP3300?
A
Huawei offers a standard three-year warranty with software updates, advanced replacement, and optional extended support packages including on-site services and 24/7 hotline access.
Q
