Designed for enterprises, SMBs and distributed wireless networks, SonicWALL has announced the addition of two new secure wireless access points to its SonicPoint Series - the SonicPoint-Ni and SonicPoint-Ne. The new devices are 802.11n compliant dual-band single radio wireless secure access points that integrate seamlessly into the existing SonicWALL TZ, Network Security Appliance (NSA) and E-Class NSA product lines.
"For the first time ever, an IT manager can easily set complete policy on exactly how the wireless network will work, what applications should have priority access and which users should be granted the most rights and the least," said Patrick Sweeney, Vice- President, Product Management. "And since all that policy is part of the firewall, organizations can manage their wired and wireless network intelligently, and inexpensively."
SonicPoint-Ni and SonicPoint-Ne are designed to easily and seamlessly extend existing SonicWALL deployments. They auto-discover and auto-provision via the integrated wireless switch and controller built into all SonicWALL firewalls. Users can roam from point to point in a network, maintaining their connectivity and authentication. Administrators access a single, consolidated policy interface to manage traffic on the wired and wireless LAN. This capability simplifies initial set-up and ongoing policy management of all network segments
