UTM Wireless Protection
Get secure and reliable wireless access all over the office
Simplify your wireless networking by using Sophos UTM as a wireless
controller to centralize your Wi-Fi management and security. Our access points
are automatically set up and configured by the UTM. That means all your
wireless clients get complete threat protection too.

Installs fast with automatic setup and configuration
You can set up multiple wireless Access Points (APs) within minutes. They require no local
configuration and will simply find the controller, retrieve their IP address via DHCP, and
import the configuration. Devices automatically appear in the UTM interface where you can
manually activate them.
Creates reliable mesh networks
Our range of access points support different deployment scenarios. They include the ceiling-
mount design AP 30 and the dual-band/dual-radio AP 50. The AP 50 can acts as a repeater
and/or bridge to extend coverage to hard to wire areas.
Provides guest Wi-Fi and BYOD access
We give you secure, easy-to-manage guest access out-of-the-box–without extra appliances,
licenses or complex configuration. And you can tailor the guest experience to suit your
needs. Set bandwidth limits and content filtering as well as customizing the login page and
vouchers to strengthen your company brand.
Secure wireless and integrated UTM protection
To prevent unauthorized access we use the most advanced encryption and authentication
standards available, including WPA2-Enterprise in combination with IEEE 802.1X (RADIUS
authentication). And, our APs forward wireless traffic to the UTM, giving wireless clients the
same level of security as if they were physically connected to the LAN. You can also choose
to authenticate users based on their credentials from any back end server supported by our
UTM for greater flexibility and control.
“ What I really like about Sophos’ integrated
wireless protection approach is that it frees our
administrators from separately managing an
expensive enterprise wireless solution.”
