The SonicWall SonicWave 231O is a high-performance outdoor wireless access point that leverages IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 technology for fast, reliable connectivity. Designed with flexible deployment in mind, it can be managed via the cloud using SonicWall WiFi Cloud Manager (WCM) or through SonicWall’s next-generation firewalls, ensuring enterprise-grade security with or without firewall dependency.
Key Benefits & Features
- Advanced Wireless Performance: Powered by Wave 2 and MU-MIMO, the 231O supports multiple clients simultaneously, enhancing speed, efficiency, and user experience. Mesh networking simplifies deployment, expansion, and reduces installation costs.
- Optimized Coverage: Equipped with multiple antennas, it ensures extended range, signal reliability, and seamless fast roaming. Features like air-time fairness, band steering, and signal analysis tools improve network quality and troubleshooting.
- Robust Security: Integrated with SonicWall firewalls, the AP benefits from deep packet inspection to block malware, intrusions, and encrypted threats. Additional services like content filtering, application control, Capture ATP sandboxing, and Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI™) deliver multi-layered protection against zero-day and unknown threats.
- Independent Protection: Even without a firewall, the AP can run advanced security functions including Content Filtering Service (CFS) and Capture ATP.
- Built-in Security Radios: A dedicated third radio performs rogue AP detection, passive scanning, and packet capture. Additional features include wireless intrusion detection/prevention, guest services, RF monitoring, and virtual AP segmentation.
