Whether you’re adding wireless into an existing network or deploying a new wireless net-work 
from the ground up, security is your number one concern. SonicWALL® makes wireless 
networking secure, simple and affordable with the innovative SonicWALL Secure Distributed 
Wireless Solution—the first total security solution that integrates 802.11a/b/g wireless 
management and security enforcement into an enterprise-class firewall/VPN appliance. 

The SonicWALL Secure Distributed Wireless Solution is built around our award-winning line 
of network security appliances in combination with SonicPoints™ to extend secure wireless 
coverage across the network. 

Available in IEEE 802.11a/b/g and 802.11b/g options, SonicPoints are dependent access points 
that provide secure wireless LAN connectivity to users on the network. Utilizing the Virtual 
Access Point (VAP) feature, SonicPoints can broadcast up to eight distinct SSIDs with dedicated 
authentication and privacy settings while sharing the same physical infrastructure. SonicPoints 
require no pre-configuration, as they are centrally configured, managed and updated by any 
SonicWALL network security appliance. 

Acting as a wireless LAN controller SonicWALL TZ, PRO, NSA and E-Class NSA Series appliances 
automatically detect and configure SonicPoints as they are added to the network while 
simultaneously enforcing security policies on all wired and wireless traffic.  This eliminates 
the need for a separate wireless appliance at the network perimeter, providing airtight 
wireless mobility for employees, as well as secure Internet access for guests.

  

Select the platform that best fits your needs: tri-mode 

802.11a/b/g or dual-mode 802.11b/g with detachable 

antennas.

  

Maintain secure access to your complete wireless 

network from SonicPoint to SonicPoint.

Provide total security enforcement, central management 

and scalability for both your wired and wireless 

networks from a single security platform.

Avoid implementing and separately managing an 

expensive wireless-specific solution that runs in 

parallel to your wired network.

Apply firewall rules to all wireless traffic and control  

all wireless client communication to any host on the 

network—wired or wireless.

 Supports up to eight distinct SSIDs using virtual access 

points with dedicated authentication and privacy 

settings while sharing the same physical infrastructure. 

 Detect rogue access points on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz 

spectrums simultaneously.

 Easily provide wireless guest Internet access through 

the auto-generation of guest accounts without 

compromising the integrity of your network.
