Secure Distributed Wireless

SonicPoint Series Features & Benefits

IEEE 802.11a/b/g and 802.11b/g options

Allow you to select the platform that best fits your needs: tri-mode 802.11a/b/g or dual-mode 802.11b/g with detachable antennas

Robust Security

Options include 64/128/152-bit WEP, WPA, WPA2, and SSL VPN1

Granular security policy enforcement

Allows the implementation of firewall rules to all wireless traffic and control of all wireless client communication to any host on the network—wired or wireless.

Central WLAN management

Can be administered using any SonicWALL TZ, NSA or E-Class NSA solutions, and requires no pre-configuration of the SonicPoint devices.

Virtual Access Point (VAP)

Enables up to 8 SSIDs to have dedicated authentication and privacy settings while sharing the same physical infrastructure, providing logical segmentation of secure wireless network traffic and secure customer access.

Integrated wireless guest services (WGS)

Easily provide wireless guest Internet access through the auto-generation of guest accounts without compromising the integrity of your network.

Secure wireless roaming

Maintains secure access to your complete wireless network when roaming from SonicPoint to SonicPoint.

Rogue access point detection

Identifies rogue access points on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz spectrums simultaneously.

Automatic provisioning

Provides plug-and-play capabilities for automatic configuration and management from the SonicWALL gateway security appliance using pre-defined profiles.

IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Receive capability allows easy deployment—especially where electrical power is not readily accessible.

Lower TCO

Attained by avoiding implementing and separately managing an expansive wireless-specific solution that runs parallel to your wired network.

Lightweight Hotspot Messaging (LHM)

Can be used to control the authentication and parametrically bound network access for hotspot users.
