New SonicPoint Series provides small- to medium-sized organizations with enterprise-level wireless performance at a disruptively low total cost of ownership

Dell has launched the new SonicPoint AC Series of wireless access points, which supports the high-performance IEEE802.11ac wireless standard to deliver almost three times that of the last wireless standard (802.11n).Sonic Points combine with industry-leading deep packet inspection security from DellSonicWALL next-generation firewalls to form a comprehensive wireless network security solution. This combination enables small- and mid-sized organizations to leverage enterprise-class wireless performance and security, while dramatically simplifying wireless network setup and management for a low total cost of ownership.

This enterprise-level performance enables WiFi-ready devices to connect from greater distances, and use bandwidth-intensive mobile apps, such as video and voice, in higher-density environments with virtually no signal degradation.
Patrick Sweeney, executive director, Dell Security said, “When we access a wireless network, we expect it to be high-performing and secure — whether that network originates from a coffee shop or a Fortune 100 company — and this increased expectation puts a lot of pressure on smaller businesses to provide an exceptional wireless experience that is secure. With the new SonicPointAC Series, these SMBs can take advantage of the improved wireless performance offered by the new 802.11ac standard, and know that their network is fully secured. Combine this with a low total cost of ownership, and our customers can be confident that their wireless network is a competitive advantage they don’t have to worry about. They can just focus on their most important job — ensuring their business is successful.”
