Description
SonicPoint N2 wireless features.
The Dell SonicPoint N2 offers secure, high-performance 802.11n wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity across the 2.4 GHz band with excellent signal quality and range, simplified deployment, and ease of management.
High-performance wireless connectivity.
With support for the 802.11n standard, the SonicPoint N2 can achieve a data rate of up to 450 Mbps while maintaining a high performance level at extended ranges.
Excellent signal quality and reliability.
With dual radios and six external antennas plus support for up to four spatial streams and 3×3 MIMO, the SonicPoint N2 provides excellent signal quality and highly reliable wireless coverage.
Flexible deployment options.
SonicPoint N2 can receive power from Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) cabling through an 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector. As a plenum rated access point, the SonicPoint N2 can be safely installed in air-handling spaces, such as in or above suspended ceilings.
Discreet deployment options.
With dimmable LEDs (excluding power), SonicPoint N2 fits seamlessly into environments that need discreet wireless coverage.
Platform features.
The Dell SonicPoint Series includes essential deployment, security and management capabilities that enable any organization to add high-speed wireless into a new or existing network.
Comprehensive wireless security.
SonicPoint Series access points integrate tightly with Dell SonicWALL next-generation firewalls. Using Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) technology, these firewalls scan all inbound and outbound traffic on wired and wireless networks and eliminate malware and intrusions. This integration creates a secure wireless solution that delivers comprehensive protection.
Centralized management.
SonicPoints are automatically detected, provisioned and updated by the managing Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive, NSA or TZ Series firewall, and central WLAN administration is also handled directly from the firewall GUI.
Virtual access point (VAP) segmentation.
The SonicPoint Series supports dedicated authentication and privacy settings by enabling the creation of up to eight service set identifiers (SSIDs), all sharing the same physical infrastructure. This provides logical segmentation of secure wireless network traffic from guest access.
Broad standards and protocols support.
With support for a wide range of wireless standards and security protocols (including 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, WPA2 and WPA), the SonicPoint Series enables organizations to leverage prior investments in devices that are incapable of supporting higher encryption standards while easing migration to 802.11ac.
