Sophos Wireless managed from Sophos Central

With Sophos Wireless you can manage your wireless networks alongside other Sophos solutions or use our Sophos Central management platform solely for wireless network setup and control.

One dashboard for an at-a-glance status

The Sophos Wireless dashboard is your single pane of glass to get the status of your wireless networks, access points, connected clients and identify potential issues needing attention. Get all the key information at-a-glance in a concise manner and on a single screen.

Simple deployment and administration

Using the step-by-step guidance in our on-boarding wizard, creating networks, registering 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 deploy new features.

Increased visibility and control

See which traffic is using your bandwidth to optimize the performance of your Wi-Fi and alert you to potential unwanted use of your resources. With Sophos Wireless you’ll know exactly what’s happening with your users and your wireless networks to avoid behavior which could put your security at risk.

Secure guest access and hotspot setup

Provide controlled internet access for visitors, contractors and other guests on your network. Using a daily password or time-based voucher, you can customize guest access with your own terms of service and branding. Use enterprise-grade backend authentication for a seamless user experience.

Multi-site management and cloud scalability

One of the benefits of a cloud-managed wireless solution is scalability. Whether you have just one growing network, or multiple sites, extending your Wi-Fi is as simple as adding an additional access point. With our basic site planning tools you get a first impression of what your set-up will look like, before doing a more detailed site survey and plan.

Features:

Plug & Play Deployment

Deploying Sophos Access Points is easy. Automatic setup and configuration means multiple wireless access points are up and running in minutes.

Simply plug the access point in and it automatically appears in the Sophos UTM user interface. Enable them from the console, and within seconds they become operational.

Reliable Mesh Networking

Sophos Access Points are ideal for creating multiple separate wireless zones. Configure a wireless network to provide employees access to internal network resources. On the same access point, you can offer wireless guests Internet access. Do it all without compromising the integrity of the internal network.

Access points include the dual-band, dual-radio AP 50, that can act as a repeater or bridge to extend Wi-Fi coverage to hard to wire areas.

Easy Guest Access

Set up guest hotspots for visitors or BYOD devices to control access to company resources. You get secure, easy-to-manage guest access out-of-the-box—without extra appliances, licenses or complex configuration.

• Fully customizable login pages and vouchers based upon templates—so you design the user experience and promote your company brand
• Automated mobile-device hotspot registration and authentication via SMS
• Set bandwidth limits and enforce inappropriate content filtering

Strong Encryption

Sophos UTM supports the strongest encryption and authentication standards available. Simply use your existing backend authentication, such as Active Directory, to allow quick and easy access for your employees. Know your wireless connections are completely secure.

• Block-based encryption, providing the highest level of assurance that data is protected
