Wirelessoverview
TheSonicPointACeispartofthenextevolutionarygener ationinwirelessaccesspointsaftertheSonicWallSonicPointNandNDR.
TheSonicPointACeprovidesphysicallayerenhancementsforhigherthroughputwithamaximumdatarateof1.3Gbps.Toachieve
this,theSonicPointACe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SonicPointcan
temporarilyfallback
to40or20MHzchannels.
• Morespatialstreams—3X3m ultiple‐inputandmultiple‐output,(MIMO)forthe802.11acradiomodule,wherethecapacity
ofaradiolinkismultipliedusingmultipathpropagation.
