Sonic Wall Wireless Network Security solutions combine high-performance IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless technology with industry-leading next-generation firewalls. The result is a superior experience for Wi-Fi users that’s as secure as any wired connection. Superior user experience Sonic Wave APs take advantage of the capabilities in 802.11ac Wave 2 plus features such as band steering & a built-in 2.5 Gb E port to deliver highspeed wireless performance. Other features, including 4x 4 MU-MIMO & beamforming, improve performance in higher density environments when using bandwidth-intensive applications such as HD multimedia, and cloud & mobile apps. With four transmitting & four receiving antennas plus support for 4x 4 MU-MIMO, Sonic Wave APs are engineered to optimize signal quality, range & reliability for wireless devices including Wave 2-enabled clients. Comprehensive threat prevention Sonic Wall firewalls scan all wireless traffic coming into & going out of the network using deep packet inspection technology & then remove harmful threats such as malware & intrusions, even over SSL/TLS encrypted connections. Other security & control capabilities such as content filtering, application control & intelligence & Capture Advanced Threat Protection provide added layers of protection. The Wireless Network Security solution also integrates additional security-related features including wireless intrusion detection & prevention, virtual access point segmentation, wireless guest services, RF monitoring & wireless packet capture. Simplified deployment & centralized management Access point deployment & setup are greatly simplified, reducing total cost of ownership (TCO). Integrated into every Sonic Wall firewall is a wireless controller that auto-detects & auto-provisions Sonic Wave APs across the network. Wireless signal analysis tools provide a visual map to optimize site-based access point placement. Management & monitoring for wireless & security are handled centrally through the firewall or through Sonic Wall Global Management System, providing network administrators with a single pane of glass from which to manage all aspects of the network.
