Wireless overview
The SonicPoint ACe is part of the next evolutionary generation in wireless access points after the SonicWall SonicPoint N and NDR.
The SonicPoint ACe provides physical layer enhancements for higher throughput with a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps. To achieve
this, the SonicPoint ACe uses:
• More antennas—three antennas for the 5 GHz radio, and three more for the 2.4 GHz radio
• 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.
