Floor plan view
Floor plan view is a WiFi planning tool that enables user to upload or create a floor plan and the
SonicWave access points appropriately to ensure required wireless coverage.
Topology view
Topolopgy view is a WiFI tool that automatically maps devices and how they are connected in the
wireless network architecture in order to aid in troubleshooting.
Plenum rated
SonicWave access points are plenum rated for safe installation in air-handling space such as in or
above suspended ceilings.
Multiple power options
SonicWave access points are powered from a SonicWall Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector or third-
party device fore easy deplyment where electrical outlets are not readily accessible.
Broad standards and protocols support
SonicWave access points support a wide range of wireless standards and security protocols, including
802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, WPA2 and WPA. This allows organizations to leverage prior investments in devices
that are incapable of supporting high encryption standards.
Cost of Ownership
Low TCO
Features 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 add wireless into a new or existing network infrastructure.
MiFi extender
MIFi extender enables the attachment of a 3G/4G/LTE modem to the SonicWave access point for use
as either the primary WAN or as a secondary failover WAN link for business continuity.
Bluetooth Low Energy
SonicWave 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
home entertainment over a low energy link.
USB port
Access ponts with USB ports support 3G/4G failover. Plug in a dongle to the port and network
continues to function over cellular connection, in case of WiFi network outage.
Green access points
SonicWave access points reduce costs by supporting green access points, which enables both radios
to enter sleep mode for power saving when no clients are actively connected. The access point will
exit sleep mode once a client attempts to associate with it.
