Features:
Performance
SonicWall’s SonicWave 600 series access points utilize 802.11ax technology, which provides for improved performance in high-density environments. The use of 1024 QAM allows more data to pass through, and 802.11ax provides improvements in MU-MIMO, with both uplink and downlink capabilities.
Additionally, 802.11ax works in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, and latency is reduced by 75%. The result is overall throughput improvement of up to 400%, with nominal data rate improvement of 37% compared to 802.11ac Wave 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. Also, improved power control methods help to avoid interference with nearby networks, making for a better experience, and Target Wake Time management allows for longer battery life for mobile devices.
Best-in-class wireless security
SonicWall firewalls scan all wireless traffic 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 filtering, 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 patended Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI™) technology. RTDMI blocks zero-day and unknown threats at the gateway – even those that hide via encryption or don’t exhibit malicious behavior, using real-time memorybased inspection techniques to force malware to reveal its weaponry into memory. Because of the real-time architecture, SonicWall RTDMI technology is precise, minimizes false positives, and identifies and mitigates sophisticated attacks where the malware’s weaponry is exposed for less than 100 nanoseconds.
Most SonicWave APs have a radio 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, wireless packet capture, and 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.
Intuitive cloud management and monitoring tool
Easily set up and deploy APs. SonicWave APs 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, powerful features, and simplified onboarding via the cloud with a single pane of glass. 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. With RF spectrum analysis, you can detect and identify the source of RF interference and monitor the health of a wireless system.
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, SonicExpress mobile app lets network administrators monitor and manage networks.

Visibility
With centralized visibility and control (including automated monitoring and reporting), you can manage network deployment and performance 24/7.
Features:
Single-Pane-of-Glass Management
WNM lets you easily manage global networks from a single pane of glass. An integrated part of the SonicWall Capture Security Center ecosystem, its intuitive dashboard offers unified visibility and control. Network hierarchy allows you to view single policies created at the tenant level that are pushed down to various locations and zones. Drill down on managed devices for granular data. WNM is highly scalable, from a single site to global enterprise networks with tens of thousands of managed devices supporting multiple tenants.
DHCP Fingerprinting
With the proliferation of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) in today’s workplace, network administrators are challenged with dynamically detecting and identifying these devices to ensure they’re compliant. DHCP fingerprinting is a technique for identity verification that allows devices to be tracked and, most importantly, blocks those that are not allowed.
Content Filtering Service
Keeping your network protected from malware, viruses and infections is critically important. Content Filtering Service (CFS) does just that by inspecting web page access and taking action when a threat is detected. CFS provides administrators with the tools to create and apply policies that allow or deny access to sites based on individual or group identity, or by time of day, for over 56 predefined categories.
Advanced Analysis Tools
Conducting a wireless site survey before deploying access points can help ensure performance and productivity. WNM’s WiFi Planner tool helps you strategically deploy access points to optimize Wi-Fi user experience and avoid costly mistakes. WiFi Planner analyzes placement, building materials, power, signal strength, channel width and radio bands. This lets you optimize coverage in new or existing networks using the fewest number of APs. Auto-channel assignment prevents interference. WNM’s Topology tool provides network topology maps and managed device statistics.
Lower TCO
Cloud-based WNM drives down total cost of ownership (TCO) by shifting capital expenditures (CAPEX) to operating expense (OPEX). WNM cuts out the cost and maintenance of redundant hardware-based controllers and optimizes data center rack space. Its intuitive interface reduces training and administrative overhead costs.
Pre-Shared Key
Private pre-shared keys (PPSK) are an important tool for protecting networks. Each one consists of a long, random series of combined numbers and letters that is generated when a device joins a network. Because each client device has its own unique pre-shared key, PPSK is an effective way to secure a guest network or to deactivate an individual’s access to the network when the individual leaves an organization. PPSK allows for easier use and management of the network, compatibility for legacy clients, and support for different VLANs
SAML Authentication Support
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a way to authenticate data between parties, particularly between an identity provider and a service provider. It allows a user to access multiple web applications using a single set of login credentials. In short, SAML is a way to tell external applications that a user is who they say they are. This single sign-on results in a better user experience and can also result in improved security, because the identity provider – not the service provider – is responsible for storing user credentials.
Reliable Operation
WNM delivers the stability and reliability of the cloud. In case an internet outage, access points and switches can continue to work without WNM, ensuring business continuity. Two-factor authentication and packet encryption heighten security, while automatic firmware and security updates keep managed devices up to date. WNM allows admins to selectively apply production, beta or patch firmware on each managed device as needed, and enables automatic sending of reports to multiple recipients simultaneously.
Zero-Touch Deployment
With Zero-Touch Deployment, your SonicWall APs and switches are up and running in minutes. And you can register and onboard them from anywhere with the SonicExpress app.
