Why RF Monitoring?
Radio Frequency (RF) technology used in today’s 802.11-based wireless networking devices 
poses an attractive target for intruders. If left un-managed, RF devices can leave your wireless 
(and wired) network open to a variety of outside threats, from Denial of Service (DoS) to 
network security breaches. 
In order to help secure your SonicPoint Wireless Access Point (AP) stations, SonicWALL takes 
a closer look at these threats. By using direct RF Monitoring, SonicWALL helps detect threats 
without interrupting the current operation of your wireless or wired network.
