The SonicWall SonicWave 224W 8-Pack delivers advanced high-performance IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless connectivity, designed for flexible and scalable deployment across medium to large networks. Each access point can be managed via the SonicWall WiFi Cloud Manager (WCM), offering intuitive, cloud-based control without requiring constant connection to a firewall. This provides IT teams with streamlined management, simplified monitoring, and enhanced operational efficiency.
Built to maximize user experience, SonicWave APs leverage MU-MIMO technology, enabling simultaneous communication with multiple client devices for improved network efficiency and faster data throughput. Mesh networking support allows seamless expansion of wireless coverage with minimal cabling and reduced deployment effort, while multiple transmitting and receiving antennas optimize signal quality, reliability, and range across indoor environments. Fast roaming ensures uninterrupted connectivity for mobile users moving between access points, and advanced RF management, band steering, and air-time fairness optimize wireless performance for all devices.
Security is deeply integrated into every SonicWave AP. Traffic is scanned by SonicWall firewalls using deep packet inspection to detect and neutralize threats, including malware, intrusions, and encrypted SSL/TLS attacks. Additional protection is provided through Content Filtering Service (CFS), Application Intelligence and Control, and Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), which uses Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI) technology to proactively detect zero-day threats and unknown malware. This multi-layered approach ensures robust protection even in deployments without direct firewall connections.
Each AP includes three radios, with the third dedicated to security functions such as rogue AP detection, passive scanning, and packet capturing. The SonicWave solution also supports wireless intrusion detection and prevention (WIDS/WIPS), virtual AP segmentation, guest network services, RF monitoring, and advanced troubleshooting tools, giving administrators complete visibility and control.
Overall, the SonicWave 224W 8-Pack provides a reliable, high-speed, and secure wireless solution suitable for businesses that require scalable cloud-managed WiFi, efficient network performance, and comprehensive security for multiple users and devices across extensive indoor deployments.
