SonicWave Series
Wireless Access Points
Secure, cloud-managed wireless solutions
SonicWall SonicWave series wireless
access points (APs) combine
high-performance IEEE 802.11ac
Wave 2 wireless technology with
exible deployment options. These APs
can be managed via the cloud using
SonicWall WiFi Cloud Manager (WCM)
or through SonicWall’s industry-leading
next-generation rewalls. The result
is a solution that could be untethered
from the rewall to provide a superior
experience for WiFi users that’s as secure
as any wired connection.
The SonicWave solution is based on:
• SonicWall SonicWave series indoor and
outdoor APs which suppor t the 802.11ac
Wave 2 wireless standard
• SonicWall WCM is an intuitive, cloudmanaged WiFi network management
system suitable for networks of any size
• SonicWall TZ, NSa, NSsp, NSA and
SuperMassive rewalls, which use deep
packet inspection technology to detect
and eliminate threats over wired and
wireless networks
Intuitive cloud management
SonicWall WCM provides an intuitive user
interface to manage all SonicWave APs
from a single pane of glass via SonicWall
Capture Security Center (CSC). Easily
monitor and manage networks with
alerts and rich analytics updated in realtime. Always stay up-to-date with the
current features and enhancements from
the latest rmware. Updates are pushed
automatically to APs, eliminating manual
updates and chances of human error.
Enhanced user experience
SonicWave APs take advantage of the
capabilities in 802.11ac Wave 2 and
advanced RF capabilities to deliver
high-speed wireless performance.
MU-MIMO technology allows the APs to
communicate to multiple client devices
at the same time, improving the overall
network performance, efciency and
user experience. In combination, mesh
technology supported on SonicWave
APs enables ease of installation and
deployment. Mesh networks are easy to
set up, effortless to expand, and require
fewer cables and less manpower to
deploy, reducing installation costs.
With multiple transmitting and receiving
antennas, SonicWave APs are engineered
to optimize signal quality, range and
reliability for wireless devices. SonicWave
APs suppor ts fast roaming, so that users
can roam from one location to another
seamlessly. Feature-rich portfolio
includes air-time fairness, band steering,
and signal analysis tools for monitoring
and troubleshooting.
Best-in-class wireless security
SonicWall rewalls scan all wireless
trafc coming into and going out
of the network using deep packet
inspection technology and then remove
harmful threats such as malware and
intrusions, even over SSL/TLS encrypted
connections. Other security and control
capabilities such as content ltering,
application control and intelligence and
Capture Advanced Threat Protection
(ATP) provide added layers of protection.

Capture ATP is our award-winning
multi-engine sandboxing service that
features SonicWall’s patent-pending
Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection
(RTDMI™) technology. The RTDMI engine
of Capture ATP proactively detects and
blocks mass market, zero-day threats
and unknown malware by inspecting
directly in memory. Because of the
real-time architecture, SonicWall RTDMI
technology is precise, minimizes false
positives, and identies and mitigates
sophisticated attacks where the
malware’s weaponry is exposed for less
than 100 nanoseconds. SonicWave APs
perform advanced security services,
including the Content Filtering Service
(CFS) and Capture ATP sandbox service
independently — even where rewalls
are not deployed.
Most SonicWave APs includes three
radios, where the third radio is dedicated
to security and performs rogue AP
detection, passive scanning and packet
capturing. The SonicWave solution also
integrates additional security-related
features including wireless intrusion
detection and prevention, virtual AP
segmentation, wireless guest services, RF
monitoring and wireless packet capture.
Simplied rewall management
Deployment and setup of APs are
greatly simplied, reducing total cost of
ownership. Optionally, SonicWave APs
can be managed by SonicWall next-gen
rewalls. Integrated into every SonicWall
rewall is a wireless controller that autodetects and auto-provisions SonicWave
APs across the network.
Management and monitoring for wireless
and security are handled centrally
through the rewall or through SonicWall
Global Management System, providing
network administrators with a single
pane of glass from which to manage all
aspects of the network.
Zero-Touch Deployment (ZTD)
powered by SonicWiFi app
Easily register and onboard SonicWave
APs with the help of SonicWall SonicWiFi
mobile app. The APs are automatically
detected and provisioned with Zero-
Touch Deployment. Available on iOS
and Android, SonicWiFi mobile app lets
network admins monitor and manage
networks, or set up mesh.
Design with WiFi Planner
SonicWall WiFi planner is a cloud-based,
advanced wireless site survey tool that
enables to optimally design and deploy a
wireless network for enhanced wireless
user experience.
Ruggedized outdoor design
SonicWave outdoor APs are built to
withstand rough outdoor conditions with
industrial-grade enclosure. These APs
are IP67 rated, which ensures protection
against dust and water immersion.

COMPREHENSIVE WIRELESS SECURITY
Feature Description
SonicWave access points are based on the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, which can achieve a PHY
rate of up to 2.34 Gbps while maintaining a higher performance level at greater ranges depending on
environmental conditions.
The 802.11ac standard operates in the 5 GHz frequency band, which has fewer wireless devices
competing for airspace and is therefore less prone to signal interference.
The increase in bandwidth capacit y and greater number of spatial streams combined with
MU-MIMO and the improved processing of fered by 802.11ac, result in more reliable wireless coverage.
MU-MIMO (Multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output) technology enables simultaneously transmission
from the access point to numerous wireless clients instead of just one.
Band steering improves the user experience by steering dual-band clients to automatically connect to the
less crowded 5 GHz frequency band leaving the more crowded 2.4 GHz frequency for legacy clients.
Beamforming improves wireless performance and range by focusing the wireless signal on an individual
client instead of spreading the data transmission equally in all directions.
AirTime Fairness distributes air time equally among connected clients, ensuring faster clients get more
data in their time while slower clients receive less.
FairNet guarantees a minimum amount of bandwidth to each wireless client in order to prevent
disproportionate bandwidth consumption by a single user.

SonicWall next-generation rewalls tightly integrate Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection® (RFDPI)
technology to scan all inbound and outbound trafc on wired and wireless networks and eliminate
intrusions, ransomware, spyware, viruses and other threats before they enter the network.
This patent-pending cloud-based technology detects and blocks malware that does not exhibit any
malicious behavior and hides its weaponry via encryption. By forcing malware to reveal its weaponry into
memory, the RTDMI engine proactively detec ts and blocks mass-market, zero-day threats and unknown
malware.
The SonicWall rewall decrypts and inspects SSL/TLS trafc on the y, without proxying, for malware,
intrusions and data leakage, and applies application, URL and content control policies in order to protect
against threats hidden in SSL / TLS-encrypted trafc.
Most SonicWave access points include a dedicated that performs continual scanning of the wireless
spectrum for rogue access points plus additional security functions that help with PCI compliance.
Wireless intrusion detection and prevention scans the wireless network for unauthorized (rogue) access
points and then the managing rewall automatically takes countermeasures, such as preventing any
connections to the device.
Wireless guest ser vices enables administrators to provide internet-only access for guest users. This
access is separate from internal access and requires guest users to securely authenticate to a virtual
access point before access is granted.
Lightweight hotspot messaging extends the SonicWall wireless guest services model of dif ferentiated
internet access for guest users, enabling extensive customization of the authentication interface and the
use of any kind of authentication scheme.
Captive portal forces a user’s device to view a page and provide authentication through a web browser
before internet access is granted.
Administrators can create up to eight SSIDs on the same access point, each with its own dedicated
authentication and privacy settings. This provides logical segmentation of secure wireless network traf c
and secure customer access.

Feature Description
An extension to local ACL, cloud ACL is deployed and managed from a centralized RADIUS server

Multi-RADIUS authentication
authentication accounts based on their specic requirements. In addition, MAC authentication can
be enforced on all WiFi-enabled devices even if they are not capable of 802.1x suppor t. This adds
another layer of protection to the wireless network.
Multi-RADIUS Authentication provides enterprise-class redundancy by enabling organizations to
deploy multiple RADIUS servers in active/passive mode for high availability. Should the primar y
RADIUS server fail, the managing SonicWall rewall discovers the failure and switches to the
secondary server, ensuring wireless devices can continue to authenticate. Further, multi-RADIUS
authentication can be supported on each virtual access point and congured for WPA-Enterprise,
WPA2-Enterprise or WPA2-Auto-Enterprise mode.

SonicWave access points are automatically detec ted, provisioned and updated by the cloud or though
SonicWall next-gen rewalls. WLAN administration is also handled directly from the managing
rewall, simplifying setup and centralizing ongoing management.
To optimize access point placement before deployment, the WiFi planning tool provides
comprehensive visualization of the WiFi environment including obstacles that impact signal
performance plus both covered and non-covered zones.
Floor plan view is a WiFi planning tool that enables users to upload or create a oor plan and place
SonicWave access points appropriately to ensure required wireless coverage.
Topology 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.
SonicWave access points are plenum rated for safe installation in air-handling spaces such as in or
above suspended ceilings.
SonicWave access points are powered from a SonicWall Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector or third-
party device for easy deployment where electrical outlets are not readily accessible.
With dimmable LEDs (excluding power), SonicPoints t perfectly into environments that need discreet
wireless coverage.
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 higher encryption standards.

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 enables the attachment of a 3G/4G/LTE modem to the SonicWave access point for use
as either the primar y WAN or as a secondary failover WAN link for business continuity.
SonicWave access points include a Bluetooth Low Energy radio that enables the use of ISM (industrial,
scientic and medical) applications for healthcare, tness, retail beacons, security and home
entertainment over a low energy link.
Access points with USB port suppor ts 3G/4G failover. Plug in a dongle to the port and network
continues to function over cellular connection, in case of WiFi network outage.
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.
