SonicWallSonicPointACeGettingStartedGuide 5

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.

SonicWallwirelessfirewalling

WhenawirelessdeviceusesaSonicWallSonicPointACe

wirelessaccesspointtocommunicatewithawirelessdevice

onanothersubnetoronacompletelydifferentnetwork,traffic

betweenthedevicesisforcedtotraversetheSonicWall

networksecurityappliance.Thistraversalenablessecurity

servicestobeenforcedbySonicOS.

Standardpracticeforwirelessfirewalling(whereonewireless

clientiscommunicatingwithanother)bypassesmanyofthe

criticalsecurityservices.Thefollowingillustrationshowsthe

standardpracticeforwirelessfirewalling.

Standard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.

SonicWalladdressesthissecurityshortcomingbymanaging

theSonicPointaccesspointsfromthenetworksecurity

appliance.Thisallowscompletecontrolofthewirelessspace,

includingzoneenforcementofsecurityservicesandcomplete

firewallingcapabilities.

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.

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

RefertoRadiofrequencybarriersandRFinterferenceonpage16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.
