Powered by Wi-Fi 6 technology, the new SonicWave 600 series wireless access points, coupled with Wireless Network Manager, enable organizations to automatically secure wireless traffic while boosting performance and simplifying connectivity.

SonicWall SonicWave series wireless access points (APs) combine high-performance IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless technology with flexible deployment options. These APs can be managed via the cloud using SonicWall WiFi Cloud Manager (WCM) or through SonicWall’s industry-leading next-generation firewalls. The result is a solution that could be untethered from the firewall to provide a superior experience for WiFi users that’s as secure as any wired connection.

SonicWall SonicWave 600 series Access Points (APs) work together with SonicWall firewalls to deliver exceptional wireless speed, while securing your network and data against encrypted attacks.

  1. Performance
    SonicWall’s SonicWave 600 Series Access Points utilize 802.11ax technology, improving performance in complex environments. The use of 1024 QAM allows more data to pass through, and 802.11ax provides enhancements in MU-MIMO, with both uplink and downlink capabilities. Additionally, 802.11ax works in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Testing has shown that 802.11ax can reduce latency by 75% and enable up to a 4X improvement in overall throughput, with nominal data rate improvement of up to 37% compared to 802.11ac Wave 2.
  2. Enhanced user experience
    SonicWave APs enhance the user experience in a number of ways. Not only are processor speeds faster, but beamforming allows for a more direct connection that is faster and more reliable than without beamforming. Improved power control methods help to avoid interference with nearby networks, making for a better experience. And Target Wake Time management helps preserve battery life in mobile devices.
  3. Best-in-class wireless security
    Most SonicWave access points include a separate radio dedicated to security, which 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. SonicWave APs also feature zero-wait DFS, which identifies and avoids interference with radar systems while eliminating the wait associated with being booted from one DFS channel and finding another to connect with.
  4. Intuitive cloud management and monitoring tool
    SonicWave APs are easy to set up and deploy. They integrate with SonicWall Wireless Network Manager, which is a highly intuitive, scalable and centralized Wi-Fi network management system capable of delivering rich wireless and switching analytics, as well as simplified, single-paneof-glass onboarding via the cloud. The APs also integrate with WiFi Planner, a site survey tool that enables you to optimally design and deploy a wireless network, resulting in a reduced total cost of ownership. And with RF spectrum analysis, you can detect and identify the source of RF interference and monitor the health of a wireless system.
  5. Zero-Touch Deployment
    Zero-Touch makes it easy to register your unit and onboard SonicWave APs with the help of the SonicWall SonicExpress mobile app. The APs are automatically detected and provisioned with Zero-Touch Deployment. Available on iOS and Android, the SonicExpress mobile app lets network administrators monitor and manage networks from anywhere.
