SonicWave 432o Hardware Overview
SonicWave 432o Product Description
The SonicWave 432o extends your wireless LAN past the traditional boundaries of indoor locations. With state
of the art design and construction, it is resistant to harsh outdoor environments and extreme temperature
changes. The unit is designed specifically for outdoor use and can be attached to either a pole or wall.
Waterproof connectors are supplied to ensure watertight seals for connecting the Ethernet cables to the device.
The SonicWave 432o also provides physical layer enhancements for higher throughput with a maximum data
rate of 1.3 Gbps. To achieve this, the SonicWave 432o uses:
• More antennas—four antennas for the 5 GHz radio, and four 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.
Because of potential EMI issues, professional installation by a properly licsened specialist is required for the
SonicWave 432o.
Distinguishing features of the SonicWave 432o include:
• Antennas: 8 N-type dipole
• 4 x 4 MU-MIMO
• Ethernet: 1 x 10/100/1000 and 1 x 10/100/1000/2.5 GbE
• PoE: 802.3at in; 802.3af out
• Ethernet console port (RJ5)
