Secure Wireless Solution

  SonicWALL Clean Wireless Solution

SonicWALL’s Clean Wireless solution combines 802.11n wireless controller functionality available in SonicOS 5.2 for the TZ 100, TZ 200, TZ 210 Series and NSA firewall appliances with the new SonicPoint-N Dual-Band managed access point. In addition to basic wireless encryption, all wireless traffic is scanned through the firewall’s Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection™ engine. The SonicWALL Clean Wireless solution goes beyond mere secure wireless solutions by making wireless networks as secure as wired networks using deep packet inspection, delivering dual protection to secure the wireless network by encrypting wireless traffic and decontaminating it from network threats while also protecting the network from wireless attacks. The SonicPoint-N Dual-Band is a dependent access point that is utilized to provide seamless, secure wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity as well as advanced features and services. SonicPoints receive 802.3af power over Ethernet (PoE) for convenient deployment in any network. The Clean Wireless Solution is built around the SonicWALL award-winning TZ, NSA and E-Class NSA Series firewall appliances which function as secure wireless switches and controllers, automatically detecting and configuring SonicPoints as they are added to the network while simultaneously enforcing security policies on all wired and wireless traffic.
