The SonicWave 432i combines high-performance IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless technology with SonicWall’s next-generation firewalls to deliver a secure, fast, and reliable Wi-Fi experience, comparable to wired connections. Designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, it supports advanced networking features and centralized cloud management.
Key Features and Capabilities:
- Advanced Wireless Performance: Supports 802.11ac Wave 2 with 4×4 MU-MIMO, beamforming, and band steering for high-density environments and bandwidth-intensive applications such as HD multimedia and cloud services. Equipped with a 2.5 GbE port, it ensures ultra-fast connectivity.
- Triple Radio Design: One radio operates in 5 GHz for reduced interference and strong reliability, another in 2.4 GHz for legacy 802.11b/g/n clients, and a third dedicated to security functions including rogue AP detection, passive scanning, and packet capture.
- Optimized Antennas: Four transmitting and four receiving antennas maximize signal quality, range, and reliability for all connected devices.
Comprehensive Security:
- Deep packet inspection scans all wireless traffic, removing threats even over SSL/TLS connections.
- Integrated features include content filtering, application control, Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), wireless intrusion detection and prevention, virtual AP segmentation, RF monitoring, and packet capture.
Simplified Deployment & Centralized Management:
- SonicWave APs are auto-detected and auto-provisioned via SonicWall firewalls, reducing deployment complexity and TCO.
- Wireless signal analysis and mapping tools optimize AP placement.
- Centralized management is available through firewalls or SonicWall Global Management System, enabling full control over wireless and security settings from a single pane of glass.
SonicPoint Series Compatibility:
- Organizations with many 802.11ac clients can leverage the SonicPoint series, offering dual radios, 3×3 SU-MIMO performance, and all SonicWall security advantages for high-speed wireless deployments.
