Hardware Overview
SonicWave 432e and 432i Product Description
The SonicWave 432e provides physical layer enhancements over earlier SonicWall access points for higher
throughput with a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps. To achieve this, the SonicWave 432e 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—4 x 4 multiple-input and multiple-output, (MIMO) for the 802.11ac radio module,
where the capacity of a radio link is multiplied using multipath propagation.
Salient features of the SonicWave 432e and 432i include:
• For indoor use with wall / ceiling mount
• 4 x 4 MU-MIMO
• 432e with external high-gain antennas (4 x 4) and 432i with 8 internal antennas
• LAN1 supports up to 2.5 GbE and 802.3at PoE
• LAN2 supports 10/100/1000 MbE
• USB 2.0
• Ethernet console port (RJ 45)
