SonicPoint Features

Note that in this manual SonicPoint refers to both SonicPoint 802.11a/b/g and SonicPoint G. While the
following table explicitly refers to each platform, the remainder of this manual refers to instances
where both are appropriate, simply using the SonicPoint name. The SonicPoint offers the following

Because of the high throughput capabilities of the SonicPoint, aggregate SonicPoints have the
potential to exhaust the capacity of Fast Ethernet interfaces on the security appliance. The following

recommended number of SonicPoints per appliance:
