SonicWALL® SonicPoint-Ni Dual-Band, SonicPoint-Ne Dual-Band, and SonicPoint-N Dual-Radio access point devices combine 802.11n and 802.11a/b/g wireless management with SonicWALL's award-winning line of network security appliances to flexibly extend comprehensive security across wireless networks.

Power over Ethernet Injector: Enable SonicWALL SonicPoint-N™ and SonicPoint™ wireless access point devices to receive power directly from Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) cabling.

Secure Remote Wireless Access: SonicWALL SonicPoint-Ni Dual-Band SonicPoint-Ne Dual-Band, SonicPoint-N Dual-Radio

Secure wireless LAN connectivity.

SonicPoint-Ni, SonicPoint-Ne and SonicPoint-N Dual-Radio wireless access points combine IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless connectivity, management and security enforcement with deep packet inspection to extend comprehensive security flexibly across wireless networks.

SonicPoint-Ni, SonicPoint-Ne, SonicPoint-N Dual-Radio Features

Central WLAN management.

SonicPoint-Ni, SonicPoint-Ne and SonicPoint-N Dual-Radio wireless access points require no pre-configuration or additional wireless access controllers, as they are centrally configured and managed by any SonicWALL TZ 100/200/210, NSA or E-Class NSA Series firewall.

Exceptional wireless performance.

Features include 40 MHz channels and packet aggregation to support data rates of up to 300 Mbps, on either 2.4 GHz or 5.0 5 GHz radio channels.

Comprehensive wireless security.

SonicPoint access points are capable of Wireless Intrusion Detection Services (WIDS), wireless firewalling, secure Layer 3 wireless roaming, IEE 802.11d multi-country roaming, and integrated Wireless Guest Services (WGS) to enforce password access for customers and other third-party guests.

Flexible deployment.

SonicPoint-N Dual-Radio and SonicPoint-Ne Dual-Band include respectively six and three external antennas; SonicPoint-Ni Dual-Band features internal antennas for discreet deployment; all SonicPoints are, wall or ceiling mountable and can be powered by ,802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) for easy deployment where electrical power is not readily available. SonicPoint-Ne models can also be powered directly through an AC adapter. SonicPoint-Ni and SonicPoint-Ne have dimmable LEDs and covers that can completely obscure logos and lights for environments that need discreet wireless coverage.

Enhanced reliability.

With 3x3 Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, SonicPoints technologyutilizes multiple antennas to enhance throughput and reliability.

Virtual Access Point (VAP) Segmentaion

Enables up to eight SSIDs for dedicated authentication and privacy settings while sharing the same physical infrastructure, providing logical segmentation of both secure wireless network traffic and customer access.

Broad support for standards and protocols.

By including 802.11 a/b/g/n, WPA2 and WPA, organizations are able to continue utilizing older 802.11 a/b/g devices while providing 802.11n capability, thus smoothing the transition to 802.

Discrete Deployment.

Discrete wireless access point deployment features include light and logo covers, controllable LED (except power) and internal antennas (on SonicPoint-Ni models), ideal for hospital and medical office environments.

FairNet wireless bandwidth allocation.

Provides fair wireless bandwidth allocation to avoid inconsistent wireless performance due to disproportionate usage by a few wireless clients.
