SonicWave 600 Series Datasheet
The SonicWall SonicWave 681 Wireless Access Point is a cutting-edge Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) solution designed to deliver exceptional performance in high-density indoor environments. Boasting advanced 8?8 MU-MIMO technology and equipped with 12 internal antennas, this access point ensures unparalleled wireless coverage and throughput with speeds reaching up to 4.8 Gbps. It supports Multi-Gigabit 802.3bt PoE+ for easy installation, although a PoE injector is not included. The package includes a comprehensive 3-year Essential Secure Wireless Network Management and Support plan, providing centralized cloud management, automatic firmware updates, and critical security features such as a dedicated security radio for real-time threat detection.
Engineered for optimal efficiency, the SonicWave 681 supports dual-band operation (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and features Zero-Wait Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for interference-free connectivity. It also incorporates Target Wake Time (TWT) to enhance client device battery life. With integrated switch management and RF spectrum analysis, network performance is maximized, while cloud-based analytics offer proactive monitoring. This ceiling-mountable access point adheres to TAA, RoHS, WEEE, and China RoHS standards, operates within a temperature range of 0??C to 40??C and 10% to 95% non-condensing humidity, and measures 21.3 cm x 21.3 cm x 3.9 cm, weighing 1.1 kg.
