SonicWallSonicWave432oGettingStartedGuide 7
SonicWave432oWirelessOverview
TheSonicWallSonicWave432oisthelatestgenerationinSonicWall’sevolutionarywirelessaccesspoints.TheSonicWave432o
extendsyourwirelessLANpastthetraditionalboundariesofindoorlocations.Withstateoftheartdesignandconstruction,itis
resistanttoharshoutdoorenvironmentsandextremetemperaturechanges.Theunitisdesignedspecificallyforoutdooruseand
shouldbeattachedtoeitherapoleorpost.Waterproofconnectorsaresuppliedtoensurewatertightsealsforconnectingthe
Ethernetcablestothedevice.
TheSonicWave432oalsoprovidesphysicallayerenhancementsforhigherthroughputwithamaximumdatarateof1730Mbpsfor
5GHzand800Mbpsfor2.4GHz.Toachievethis,theSonicWave432ouses:
•Moreantennas—fourantennasforthe5GHzradio,andfour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SonicWavecan
temporarilyfallbackto40or20MHzchannels.
•Morespatialstreams—4X4multiple‐inputandmultiple‐output,(MU‐MIMO)forthe802.11acradiomodule,wherethe
capacityofaradiolinkismultipliedusingmultipathpropagation.
FrequencyBandsandChannels
Currentlyfivestandardsfor802.11wirelessnetworktypeshavebeenwidelyadopted:a,b,g,n,andac.802.11nand802.11acare
thenewestandhighestcapacitystandards,butolderclientdevicesmightnotbeabletoutilizethenewerstandards.

8SonicWallSonicWave432oGettingStartedGuide
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
suitedforopenspaces.
RefertoRadioFrequencyBarriersonpage23andRFInterferenceonpage23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.
