The SonicWall SonicWave 231C access points deliver high-performance IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless connectivity with flexible deployment options for secure, reliable WiFi. Managed via SonicWall WiFi Cloud Manager (WCM) or integrated with next-generation firewalls, they provide a wired-like secure experience for all users.
Key Solution Components
- SonicWave APs: Indoor/outdoor models supporting 802.11ac Wave 2 for advanced performance.
- WiFi Cloud Manager (WCM): Intuitive cloud-based network management for organizations of any size.
- Next-Gen Firewalls: TZ, NSa, NSsp, NSA, and SuperMassive firewalls with deep packet inspection to detect and block threats across wired and wireless networks.
Enhanced Wireless Experience
SonicWave APs leverage MU-MIMO and advanced RF technology to support multiple client devices simultaneously, boosting efficiency and performance. Built-in mesh networking simplifies installation, expansion, and reduces cabling costs. With optimized antennas, they ensure excellent signal quality, range, and seamless roaming. Features include air-time fairness, band steering, and signal analysis for troubleshooting.
Enterprise-Grade Security
SonicWall firewalls inspect all wireless traffic with deep packet inspection, eliminating malware, intrusions, and threats—even over SSL/TLS encrypted sessions. Additional services like content filtering, application control, and Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) add extra layers of defense.
Capture ATP uses multi-engine sandboxing with Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI™) to detect zero-day and unknown threats at nanosecond speeds, ensuring unmatched precision with minimal false positives.
Independent Security Capabilities
SonicWave APs can perform services like Content Filtering Service (CFS) and Capture ATP independently, even without firewalls. Most models include three radios, with one dedicated to security functions such as rogue AP detection, passive scanning, and packet capturing. Additional features include intrusion detection/prevention, virtual AP segmentation, guest services, RF monitoring, and wireless packet capture.
