Wi-Fi Multimedia

SonicOS access points support Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) to provide a better Quality of Service (QoS) experience on bandwidth-intensive applications such as VoIP, VoIP on Wi-Fi phones, and multimedia traffic on wireless IEEE 802.11 networks.

WMM is a Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification based on the IEEE 802.11e standard that prioritizes traffic according to four Access Categories:

• Voice—highest priority
• Video—second priority
• Best effort—third priority (intended for applications like email and Internet surfing)
• Background—fourth priority (intended for applications that are not latency sensitive, such as printing)

WMM does not provide guaranteed throughput.

SonicWall Wireless Cloud Management Support is also available for SonicWave access points. You no longer need to connect a SonicWave to your central firewall to manage it. You can deploy it standalone by connecting it to your network. The appliance provides wireless services that you can manage through the cloud on our new mobile application.
