Within a large office building, network administrators can deploy a SonicWALL network security appliance as the gateway device, and then simply distribute SonicPoint at optimal locations throughout the building, allowing employees to seamlessly roam. This eliminates the need for a separate wireless appliance at the network perimeter, providing airtight wireless mobility for employees, as well as secures Internet access for guests.

With support for 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption, AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the SonicPoint provides enhanced user authentication and network security.
