Access Points Management

SonicWall SonicPoint and SonicWave wireless access points are specially engineered to work with SonicWall security appliances to provide wireless access throughout your enterprise.

They provide high-speed wireless access with enhanced signal quality and reliability that takes advantage of the latest capabilities to achieve gigabit wireless performance. With support for IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards, the SonicPoint/SonicWave series enables your organization for bandwidth-intensive mobile applications in high density environments without signal degradation.
