SonicWave feature summarySuperior user experienceFeatureDescriptionHigh-speed wireless performanceand rangeSonicWave access points are based on the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, which can achieve a PHY rateof up to 2.34 Gbps while maintaining a higher performance level at greater ranges depending onenvironmental conditions.Enhanced signal qualityThe 802.11ac standard operates in the 5 GHz frequency band, which has fewer wireless devicescompeting for airspace and is therefore less prone to signal interference.Increased wireless reliabilityThe increase in bandwidth capacity and greater number of spatial streams combined with4x4 MU-MIMO and the improved processing offered by 802.11ac, result in more reliable wirelesscoverage.MU-MIMOMU-MIMO (Multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output) technology enables simultaneouslytransmission from the access point to numerous wireless clients instead of just one.Band steeringBand steering improves the user experience by steering dual-band clients to automatically connect tothe less crowded 5 GHz frequency band leaving the more crowded 2.4 GHz frequency for legacy clients.BeamformingBeamforming improves wireless performance and range by focusing the wireless signal on an individualclient instead of spreading the data transmission equally in all directions.AirTime FairnessAirTime Fairness distributes air time equally among connected clients, ensuring faster clients get moredata in their time while slower clients receive less.FairNet wirelessbandwidth allocationFairNet guarantees a minimum amount of bandwidth to each wireless client in order to preventdisproportionate bandwidth consumption by a single user.Comprehensive wireless securityFeatureDescriptionReassembly-Free Deep PacketInspection technologySonicWall next-generation firewalls tightly integrate Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI)technology to scan all inbound and outbound traffic on wired and wireless networks and eliminateintrusions, ransomware, spyware, viruses and other threats before they enter the network.SSL/TLS decryption and inspectionThe SonicWall firewall decrypts and inspects SSL/TLS traffic on the fly, without proxying, for malware,intrusions and data leakage, and applies application, URL and content control policies in order to protectagainst threats hidden in SSL/TLS-encrypted traffic.Dedicated third scanning radioSonicWave access points include a dedicated that performs continual scanning of the wireless spectrumfor rogue access points plus additional security functions that help with PCI compliance.Wireless intrusion detection andpreventionWireless intrusion detection and prevention scans the wireless network for unauthorized (rogue) accesspoints and then the managing firewall automatically takes countermeasures, such as preventing anyconnections to the device.Wireless guest servicesWireless guest services enables administrators to provide internet-only access for guest users. Thisaccess is separate from internal access and requires guest users to securely authenticate to a virtualaccess point before access is granted.Lightweight hotspot messagingLightweight hotspot messaging extends the SonicWall wireless guest services model of differentiatedinternet access for guest users, enabling extensive customization of the authentication interface andthe use of any kind of authentication scheme.Captive portalCaptive portal forces a user’s device to view a page and provide authentication through a web browserbefore internet access is granted.Virtual access point segmentationAdministrators can create up to eight SSIDs on the same access point, each with its own dedicatedauthentication and privacy settings. This provides logical segmentation of secure wireless networktraffic and secure customer access.8

Comprehensive wireless security, con'tFeatureDescriptionCloud ACLAn extension to local ACL, cloud ACL is deployed and managed from a centralized RADIUS server in thecloud. This eliminates local ACL scalability issues, enabling organizations to configure authenticationaccounts based on their specific requirements. In addition, MAC authentication can be enforced onall WiFi-enabled devices even if they are not capable of 802.1x support. This adds another layer ofprotection to the wireless network.Multi-RADIUS authenticationMulti-RADIUS Authentication provides enterprise-class redundancy by enabling organizations todeploy multiple RADIUS servers in active/passive mode for high availability. Should the primaryRADIUS server fail, the managing SonicWall firewall discovers the failure and switches to the secondaryserver, ensuring wireless devices can continue to authenticate. Further, multi-RADIUS authenticationcan be supported on each virtual access point and configured for WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise orWPA2-Auto-Enterprise mode.Granular securitypolicy enforcementNetwork administrators can implement and enforce firewall rules on all wireless traffic and control allwireless client communications to any host on the network — wired or wireless.Simplified deployment and centralized managementFeatureDescriptionSimplified setup and centralizedmanagementSonicWave access points are automatically detected, provisioned and updated by the wireless controllerin the managing SonicWall SuperMassive, NSA or TZ Series firewall. WLAN administration is alsohandled directly from the managing firewall, simplifying setup and centralizing ongoing management.Wireless planning toolTo optimize access point placement before deployment, the wireless planning tool providescomprehensive visualization of the WiFi environment including obstacles that impact signalperformance plus both covered and non-covered zones.Floor plan viewFloor plan view is a WiFi planning tool that enables users to upload or create a floor plan and placeSonicWave access points appropriately to ensure required wireless coverage.Topology viewTopology view is a WiFi tool that automatically maps devices and how they are connected in the wirelessnetwork architecture in order to aid in troubleshooting.Plenum ratedSonicWave access points are plenum rated for safe installation in air-handling spaces such as in or abovesuspended ceilings.Multiple power optionsSonicWave access points are powered from a SonicWall IEEE 802.11at Power over Ethernet (PoE)Injector or third-party device for easy deployment where electrical outlets are not readily accessible.Light controlsWith dimmable LEDs (excluding power), SonicPoints fit perfectly into environments that need discreetwireless coverage.Broad standards and protocolssupportSonicWave access points support a wide range of wireless standards and security protocols, including802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, WPA2 and WPA. This allows organizations to leverage prior investments in devicesthat are incapable of supporting higher encryption standards.Low total cost of ownershipFeatureDescriptionLow TCOFeatures such as simplified deployment, single pane of glass management for both wireless and security,and no need to purchase a separate wireless controller drastically reduce an organization’s cost to addwireless into a new or existing network infrastructure.MiFi extenderMiFi Extender enables the attachment of a 3G/4G/LTE modem to the SonicWave access point for use aseither the primary WAN or as a secondary failover WAN link for business continuity.Bluetooth Low EnergySonicWave access points include a Bluetooth Low Energy radio that enables the use of ISM (industrial,scientific and medical) applications for healthcare, fitness, retail beacons, security and homeentertainment over a low energy link.Green access pointsSonicWave access points reduce costs by supporting green access points, which enables both radiosto enter sleep mode for power saving when no clients are actively connected. The access point will exitsleep mode once a client attempts to associate with it.9
