Distributed Wireless Solution
|
SonicWALL makes distributed wireless networking secure, simple and
cost-effective with the first total security solution that integrates
universal 802.11a/b/g wireless with an enterprise-class firewall/VPN gateway.
SonicWALL’s innovative Distributed Wireless Solution scales to virtually any
network deployment, whether you’re adding wireless into an existing network
infrastructure or creating a new wireless network from the ground up.
Larger companies can take advantage of
SonicWALL's trusted wireless security functionality by deploying SonicPoints
throughout any network. SonicPoints are IEEE 802.11a/b/g satellite access
points that provide secure wireless LAN connectivity to users on the network.
SonicPoints are automatically configured and centrally managed and updated by
any SonicWALL TZ 170 or PRO series security appliance. As a complement to the
core components of the Distributed Wireless Solution, SonicWALL also provides
solution enablers that aid in the rapid deployment of a wireless network.
SonicWALL’s new wireless solution is
built around our award-winning line of Internet security appliances. Within a
large office building, network administrators can deploy the appropriate PRO
series or TZ 170 appliance as the gateway device, then simply distribute
SonicPoints at optimal locations throughout the building. This eliminates the
need for a separate wireless switch appliance at the network perimeter,
providing airtight wireless mobility for employees as well as secure Internet
access for guests.
