Improved Connectivity
Lingxi Dual Wi-Fi function
In addition, the BE3 Pro introduces the impressive Lingxi Dual Wi-Fi feature. When used with Huawei phones or tablets, users are in for a sensational performance that matches the power of Wi-Fi 7 dual-band aggregation acceleration, guaranteeing flawless connectivity.
Multi-RU support
Resource Units (RUs) are a cleverly designed system of small divisions within wireless radio frequencies. These divisions, made up of multiple tones, are a key component in optimizing wireless communication. The wider the bandwidth, the more RUs and tones can be accommodated, allowing for the support of numerous users even during times of high network congestion. This flexible allocation of RUs across different frequencies allows for enhanced throughput and reduced latency, resulting in highly efficient wireless communication overall.
The MRU technology, which is an improved version of OFDMA, aims to optimize the distribution and utilization of bandwidth even more efficiently. Although OFDMA is successful in dividing the bandwidth among multiple users, it fails to fully maximize the potential of each user.
The MRU feature in the new Wi-Fi 6/7 standards allows users to utilize multiple RUs based on their needs, unlike in the previous protocol where only one RU could be used. This helps optimize bandwidth utilization and enables users to transfer larger amounts of data.
Four signal boosters
To provide a clearer explanation, let’s focus on the bands: 5GHz and 2.4GHz presented. In the illustration photo below, you can see that each band comes with a pair of signal boosters. What’s truly impressive about this router is that it doesn’t just have four high-performance signal amplifiers (PA+LNA), it also amplifies coverage by an astounding 40% and enhances transmission rates by an exceptional 30% for medium and long distances.
Increases signal coverage by 40%
The device features a dedicated e-sports gigabit network port that prioritizes the transmission of gaming data and delivers fast and stable gaming performance. There is also a 2500 Mbps high-speed network port. Huawei’s cutting-edge Turbo Engine is specifically tailored for Chinese users, effortlessly identifying and adapting to the most popular games in the market.
This technology currently supports more than 160 popular mobile and client games, including games like “Honor of Kings”, “Peace Elite” and “PUBG”. When used, it can reduce network latency and packet loss rates by more than 20% ensuring a seamless and lag-free gaming experience. If you are using a Huawei mobile phone (HarmonyOS or EMUI 10.0 and above), you can also enjoy the acceleration effect of thousands of mobile games to ensure full power when gaming. Users can also control their kid’s internet activity via the Huawei Smart Life app.
160 MHz bandwidth support
The Huawei Router BE3 Pro offers an impressive feature – an ultra-large bandwidth of 160MHz. This incredible bandwidth advantage surpasses that of old routers, which typically range from 40-80MHz. With such a substantial increase in bandwidth, more data can be transmitted simultaneously, resulting in exceptionally high speeds. Additionally, the inclusion of the new 4K QAM high-order modulation method enables a remarkable 120% increase in data transmission volume per unit time.
4K QAM and dual-band aggregation
WiFi7 is equipped with advanced technology that makes it 120% faster than its predecessor, WiFi6. Not only that, but it also supports dual-band aggregation, enabling seamless connectivity and simultaneous transmission in both the 2.4G and 5G frequency bands. With Huawei BE3Pro, you can experience incredibly fast speeds with a rate of 688Mbps in the 2.4G band, 2882M in the 5G band, and a total rate of 3600M. This means you can enjoy smooth and uninterrupted internet browsing, streaming, and downloading like never before.
External design
The Huawei Router BE3 Pro is more than just a device with advanced features. It combines functionality with elegance, boasting a sleek rectangular design enhanced by four antennas. Its compact dimensions of 225 x 177.9 x 59.5 mm ensure it fits seamlessly in any setting. Additionally, this router features a visually captivating LED light that provides clear and informative indications.
Price and Availability
The BE3 Pro comes in two distinctive options: the standard edition, priced at 399 yuan ($55), is equipped with a Gigabit network port, while the high-configuration version, priced at 499 yuan ($69), features a 2.5G network port. If you’re interested in purchasing the Chinese edition of the Pro, you can find it for a competitive price of $94 on the Chine HONOR AliExpress Store.
