Dell SonicWALL Wireless Network
Security solutions combine high-
performance IEEE 802.11ac wireless
technology with industry-leading
next-generation firewalls. As a result,
they deliver enterprise-class wireless
performance and security while
dramatically simplifying network
setup and management.
The solutions are based on:
• Dell SonicPoint AC Series wireless
access points (SonicPoint ACe and
SonicPoint ACi), which support the
802.11 a/b/g/n/ac standards
• Dell SonicWALL TZ, NSA and
SuperMassive firewalls, which use
deep packet inspection technology to
detect and eliminate threats over both
wired and wireless networks
Enterprise-level performance
Dell SonicPoints take advantage of
the latest capabilities in 802.11ac to
deliver up to 1.3 Gbps of wireless
throughput — three times that
of 802.11n. This enterprise-level
performance enables WiFi-ready
devices to connect from greater
distances and use bandwidth-intensive
mobile apps, such as video and voice,
in higher density environments without
experiencing signal degradation.
Built-in dual radios allow the
SonicPoint ACe and ACi to dedicate
one radio to the less crowded 5 GHz
frequency band, ensuring minimal
interference and a higher signal quality,
while the second radio operates at
the 2.4 GHz band to support legacy
802.11b/g/n clients. With multiple
antennas at the transmitter and
receiver and support for 3x3 MIMO,
SonicPoints are engineered to optimise
signal quality, range and reliability.
For organisations with a substantial
long-term investment in 802.11n,
the Dell SonicPoint N2 features an
enterprise wireless chipset, dual
radios, high-speed performance and
all the advantages that Dell SonicWALL
Wireless Network Security solutions oer.
Comprehensive security
In addition to intrusion prevention, SSL
decryption and inspection, application
control and content filtering, the
Wireless Network Security solution also
integrates additional security-related
features, including wireless intrusion
detection and prevention, virtual
access points, wireless guest services,
cloud access control list and more.
Easy setup and centralised management
Dell SonicWALL Wireless Network
Security solutions greatly simplify
deployment and setup while reducing
total cost of ownership (TCO).
Integrated into every Dell SonicWALL
firewall is a wireless controller that
auto-detects and auto-provisions
SonicPoints across the network.
Ongoing management and monitoring
of SonicPoints and security are
handled centrally through the firewall
or through the Dell SonicWALL Global
Management System, providing
network administrators with a single
pane of glass from which to manage all
aspects of the network — both wired
and wireless.
