Page 5: Wireless Overview
Wireless overview The SonicPoint ACi is part of the next evolutionary generation in wireless access points after the SonicWall SonicPoint N and NDR. The SonicPoint ACi provides physical layer enhancements for higher throughput with a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps. To achieve this, the SonicPoint ACi uses: • Wider channels—80 MHz‐wide channels for the 802.11ac radio module, while continuing to support 20/40 MHz channels. This allows for dynamic per packet negotiation of channel widths so that when there is interference, the SonicPoint can temporarily fall back to 40 or 20MHz channels. • More spatial streams—3X3 multiple‐input and multiple‐output, (MIMO) for the 802.11ac radio module, where the capacity of a radio link is multiplied using multipath propagation.

Page 6: Sonicwall Wireless Firewalling
SonicWall wireless firewalling Many security products on the market share this potential vulnerability when two users connected by a common hub or wireless access point wish to exchange data. When a wireless device uses a SonicWall SonicPoint ACi wireless access point to communicate with a wireless device SonicWall addresses this security shortcoming by managing on another subnet or on a completely different network, traffic the SonicPoint access points from the network security between the devices is forced to traverse the SonicWall appliance. This allows complete control of the wireless space, network security appliance. This traversal enables security including zone enforcement of security services and complete services to be enforced by SonicOS. firewalling capabilities. Standard practice for wireless firewalling (where one wireless Secure wireless firewalling client is communicating with another) bypasses many of the critical security services.

Page 7: Frequency Bands And Channels
Frequency bands and channels There are currently five widely adopted standards for 802.11 wireless network types: a, b, g, n, and ac. 802.11n and 802.11ac are the newest and highest capacity standards, but older client devices may not be able to utilize the newer standards. Wireless standards 802.11 (x) Frequency standard Maximum data rate 802.11a 5 GHz 54 Mbps 802.11b 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps 802.11g 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps 802.11n 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 450 Mbps 802.11ac 5 GHz + multichannel + multipath 1.3 Gbps Different frequency bands provide varying signal strength and quality over different distance ranges. Signals in the 2.4 GHz range tend to pass through physical barriers better and carry farther than those in the 5 GHz range, but they do not provide as high a data rate. Signals in the 5 GHz range provide faster data rates for better throughput, but the signal attenuates faster and is best suited for open spaces. Strengths and weaknesses of 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz signals 5 GHz 2.4 GHz Strength Higher speed, more channels Longer Range, stronger signal penetration Weakness Limited penetration of walls, client compatibility More sources of interference SonicWall SonicPoint ACi Getting Started Guide... - Page 8 Refer to Radio frequency barriers and RF interference on page 15 for detailed information about RF barriers and interference. To allow multiple separate wireless networks in a shared and confined space, the RF medium is divided into channels. For devices in the 5 GHz range (802.11a/n/ac), this means the possibility of up to 23 discrete channels. For devices using the 2.4 GHz range (802.11b/g/n), the wireless space is limited to a maximum of 14 overlapping channels. As a result of these overlapping channels, 2.4 GHz technology provides only a total of three discrete channels. 802.11 comparison chart 802.11 signal characteristics 802.11a 802.11b 802.11g 802.11n 802.11ac # of Channels in USA # of Channels in EU # of Channels in Japan Frequency Band 5 GHz 2.4 GHz 2.4 GHz 2.4/5 GHz 5 GHz Max.
