- SonicWALL Clean Wireless scans all wireless traffic for vulnerabilities and threats
- SonicWALL enables employees to securely access network resources from the wireless network using SSL VPN or WPA2
- SonicWALL integrated management provides a single point of control for both wired and wireless networks
Scenario 4: Warehouse Deployment
In warehouse deployments, SonicPoint-Ni and SonicPoint-Ne Dual-Band devices automatically contact SonicWALL Network Security Appliances (NSAs) to auto-provision the latest firmware and configurations and ease rapid deployment. SonicWALL NSAs offer a single point of wireless monitoring and management, lowering total cost of infrastructure ownership. SonicPoint-Ni and SonicPoint-Ne Dual-Band devices come with built-in wireless IDS to scan for rogue access points and prevent unauthorized access.
- SonicPoint-Ni and SonicPoint-Ne Dual-Band devices with 802.11n provide faster wireless access with greater range and better reliability
- SonicPoint-Ni and SonicPoint-Ne Dual-Band devices auto-discover the central management gateway, easing deployment
- Employees can securely access network resources from the wireless network using SSL VPN or WPA2
- SonicWALL Clean Wireless comprehensively scans all wireless traffic for vulnerabilities and threats
- Virtual Access Points (VAP) capability allows for secure segmentation between trusted and un-trusted wireless users by allowing broadcast of up to eight unique SSIDs
- External SMA Connectors enable third party antennas to boost direction and range of the 802.11 signal
- All SonicPoints deployed in the network feature auto-provisioning and centralized management
- SonicPoint-Ni and SonicPoint-Ne Dual-Band are ceiling and wall mountable and can receive Power over Ethernet (PoE) from an IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE, while SonicPoint-Ne models can also be powered directly through an AC adapter
Scenario 5: Distributed Wireless and SonicWALL Aventail E-Class Secure Remote Access
In distributed wireless environments where there is a need to support additional endpoint security and Network Access Control, network administrators can deploy SonicPoint-Ni and SonicPoint-Ne Dual-Band devices in conjunction with a SonicWALL E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA) appliance and SonicWALL Aventail E-Class Secure Remote Access (SRA) appliance. The combined solution not only provides distributed wireless connectivity and centralized SonicPoint management, but also provides endpoint enforcement and interrogation. This ensures that all wireless users’ systems have the proper configuration before gaining access to secure network resources.
- SonicWALL solutions enforce policy across disparate points of entry, allowing granular access control for collaboration and compliance
- SonicWALL solutions are easy to use, providing the core elements of Network Access Control (NAC) today and a foundation for NAC initiatives for the future
