Features:
Manage all your security on a single platform
Sophos Central is a scalable management platform which gives you a single pane of glass for all of your cloud-managed security solutions. Using Sophos Central, you can manage Sophos Wireless on its own, or alongside your Endpoint, Mobile, Email, Encryption and Server Protection.
Superior visibility into wireless health
All the key information about the health of your wireless networks and connecting clients is directly at your fingertips. With visibility into potential threats, such as rogue APs, insight into clients with compliance or connectivity issues and advanced diagnostics, identifying and troubleshooting issues is quick and easy.
Simple deployment and administration
Using the step-by-step guidance in our on-boarding wizard, creating networks, registering one or more access points, and adding sites is child’s play. Our solution is built to be simple to use, even for non-wireless experts, but that doesn’t mean you forfeit functionality. Schedule firmware upgrades to keep your network up to date and benefit from new features and enhancements in every release.
Intelligence connected with Security Heartbeat™
When using our Security Heartbeat™ enabled APX Series access points, you can monitor the health status of any Sophos Central-managed endpoint or mobile device and so automatically restrict web access on trusted Wi-Fi networks. Users with serious compliance issues see a splash screen to alert them to their walled garden status but receive full connectivity again, once health is restored.
Security enhanced for your trusted Wi-Fi networks
Our Enhanced Rogue AP Detection classifies neighboring Wi-Fi networks to identify threats and prevent attempts to infiltrate an organization via Wi-Fi.
Additionally, you can keep your networks secure by providing controlled internet access and hotspots for visitors, contractors, and other guests on your network. Use enterprise-grade backend authentication for a seamless user experience.
Multi-site management and cloud scalability
Whether you have just one growing network, or multiple sites, extending your Wi-Fi is as simple as adding an additional access point
Indoor Access Points
Wireless LAN and Sophos Firewall
Sophos Firewall provides several options for wireless LAN connectivity. As Wireless Protection is included in the Base License purchased with every appliance, there are no additional subscription costs to consider.
Desktop appliances are optionally available with Wi-Fi built-in. These are ideal as a low-cost, all-in-one solution for smaller offices and retail environments where network coverage is only required in a relatively limited space. See the Desktop section for further details.
Your Sophos Firewall can be used as a wireless controller to manage APX Series access points. These models are designed for a range of deployment scenarios and with 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4 models available at different price points, they can suit even the tightest budget.
Sophos Central Management
The APX can also be managed from Sophos Central. This option offers additional features and the full scalability of a cloud-managed platform. If you’re already using Sophos Central to manage other Sophos products, your Sophos partner or sales contact can provide more information about Sophos Wireless.
Built For Performance
Our APX access points are custom-built to offer optimal performance and increased throughput at load. These models are enabled with Security Heartbeat™, offering integration with Sophos Mobile and Sophos Endpoint to protect your Wi-Fi networks.
- 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4 models available with 802.11ac Wave 2 technology
- Improved overall performance and throughput at load
- Enabled with Security Heartbeat to support Endpoint and Mobile in Sophos Central
Increased Visibility
Getting insight into what’s happening on your wireless networks is a daily struggle for many IT admins. With Sophos Wireless, you always know the status of your Wi-Fi networks, access points, connecting clients, and the environment around you to identify potential risks or inappropriate use of your resources.
