SonicWave 600 Series Deployment Scenarios

The SonicWave Access Points (AP) are easy to set up and deploy. SonicWave works well with the deployment and setup processes, making them simpler and reducing the total cost of ownership. SonicWave APs can be managed bySonicWall next-gen firewalls. SonicWall firewalls come with a wireless controller that automatically detects and sets up SonicWave APs across the network.

The firewall or SonicWall Global Management System centrally handles the management and monitoring of wireless and security, giving network administrators a single interface to manage all aspects of the network.

SonicWave 600 series are Wi-Fi 6 access points that deliver wireless performance and security that are superior to the 802.11ac standard. The benefits using Wi-Fi 6 are:

• Wi-Fi 6 access points are more efficient than Wi-Fi 5 due to the multi-user support of OFDMA, which results in lower latency.

• Additionally, Wi-Fi 6 utilizes WPA3 for advanced security features, providing more robust authentication.

• BSS coloring is used to mark traffic on a shared frequency and reduce interference, ensuring more consistent service in complex environments. Target Wake Time (TWT) allows devices to improve battery life by determining when to wake to send or receive data.

• Wi-Fi 6's MU-MIMO supports multiple users within a single network environment, enabling simultaneous data upload and download for faster network speed.
