    Description

    As of September 26, 2017 SonicWall has released a new family of access points called SonicWave. Included in this release is the SonicWave 432e (external antenna model), SonicWave 432i (internal antenna model), and SonicWave 432o (outdoor model). The below table is a list of features and specifications for each unit.

    SonicWave 432e Wireless Overview
    The SonicWave‐e is part of the next evolutionary generation in wireless access points after the SonicWall SonicWave N and NDR. The SonicWave‐e provides physical layer enhancements for higher throughput with a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps. To achieve this, the SonicWave‐e uses:
    • More antennas—three antennas for the 5 GHz radio, and three more for the 2.4 GHz radio
    • Wider channels—80 MHz‐wide channels for the 802.11ac radio module, while continuing to support 20/40 MHz channels. This allows for dynamic per packet negotiation of channel widths so that when there is interference, the SonicWave can  temporarily fall back to 40 or 20MHz channels.
    • More spatial streams—4X4 multiple‐input and multiple‐output, (MIMO) for the 802.11ac radio module, where the capacity of a radio link is multiplied using multipath propagation.

    SonicWave 432i Wireless Overview
    The SonicWave‐i is part of the next evolutionary generation in wireless access points after the SonicWall SonicWave N and NDR. The SonicWave‐i provides physical layer enhancements for higher throughput with a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps. To achieve this, the SonicWave‐i uses:
    • Wider channels—80 MHz‐wide channels for the 802.11ac radio module, while continuing to support 20/40 MHz channels. This allows for dynamic per packet negotiation of channel widths so that when there is interference, the SonicWave can temporarily fall back to 40 or 20MHz channels.
    • More spatial streams—4X4 multiple‐input and multiple‐output, (MIMO) for the 802.11ac radio module, where the capacity of a radio link is multiplied using multipath propagation.

    SonicWave 432o Wireless Overview (outdoor)
    The SonicWall SonicWave 432o is the latest generation in SonicWall’s evolutionary wireless access points. The SonicWave 432o extends your wireless LAN past the traditional boundaries of indoor locations. With state of the art design and construction, it is resistant to harsh outdoor environments and extreme temperature changes. The unit is designed specifically for outdoor use and can be attached to either a pole or wall. Waterproof connectors are supplied to ensure watertight seals for connecting the Ethernet cables to the device. The SonicWave 432o also provides physical layer enhancements for higher throughput with a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps. To achieve this, the SonicWave 432o uses:
    • More antennas—four antennas for the 5 GHz radio, and four more for the 2.4 GHz radio
    • Wider channels—80 MHz‐wide channels for the 802.11ac radio module, while continuing to support 20/40 MHz channels. This allows for dynamic per packet negotiation of channel widths so that when there is interference, the SonicWave can temporarily fall back to 40 or 20MHz channels.
    • More spatial streams—4X4 multiple‐input and multiple‐output, (MIMO) for the 802.11ac radio module, where the capacity of a radio link is multiplied using multipath propagation.

    Because of the unique market and functionality targeted by this product, the SonicWave 432o requires specially trained professionals to configure and install the product. Also, according to FCC rules (similar rules in other regulatory domains), you are required to consult with an experienced professional RF installer/dealer/technician to conduct the installation, conform to the regulation, and correct the interference from the standard industry measures. The FCC requires you to be notified that any changes or modifications made to the device that are not expressly approved by SonicWall could void your authority to operate the equipment. A professional installer is responsible for the proper installation and configuration of the outdoor SonicWave. The installer needs to understand and prepare for operating near any Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) locations based on the FCC Memorandum and comply with all its requirements. The professional installer needs to choose the correct antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication to ensure the reduction of potential radio interference with other users. The professional installer must also properly select the current country of operation from the SonicWall configuration interface. Incorrectly entering the country of operation could result in illegal operation and might cause harmful interference to other systems.

    Frequency Bands and Channels
    Currently five standards for 802.11 wireless network types have been widely adopted: a, b, g, n, and ac. 802.11n and 802.11ac Wave 2 are the newest and highest capacity standards, but older client devices might not be able to utilize the newer standards.

    Different frequency bands provide varying signal strength and quality over different distance ranges. Signals in the 2.4 GHz range tend to pass through physical barriers better and carry farther than those in the 5 GHz range, but they do not provide as high a data rate. Signals in the 5 GHz range provide faster data rates for better throughput, but the signal attenuates faster and is best suited for open spaces.

    Available Antennas for the SonicWave 432o
    The following antennas are approved for use with the outdoor SonicWave 432o.
