Where other enterprise-grade Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) access points (APs) focus only on serving up Wi-Fi to users, the new AP125 model does this and also blocks hackers from stealing passwords, credit cards, and other valuable data from you. More and more devices are leveraging Wi-Fi connectivity. This trend isn’t expected to slow down anytime soon, and while your customers and employees demand access to fast Wi-Fi, you might not know the huge gap it’s leaving in your security.

Wi-Fi served by WatchGuard’s AP125 is built using the Trusted Wireless Environment framework. When deployed, companies can rest assured that they are protected by verified, comprehensive security that automatically detects and prevents the six known Wi-Fi threat categories, while enjoying the benefits of Wi-Fi networks with market-leading performance and scalable management.

What’s more, WatchGuard’s secure Wi-Fi products are compatible with most other Wi-Fi solutions, so companies can leverage them to deploy a WIPS overlay without ripping out and replacing every existing AP in their network (Meraki, Ubiquiti, Ruckus, etc).

“When customers ask for Wi-Fi, they want to make an investment into a future-proof infrastructure with the best technology available to date,” said Jean-Pierre Schwickerath, head of IT, HILOTEC AG. “With the 2×2 Wave 2 AP125 we found the perfect match for these SMB requirements: it has a low footprint, a most attractive price, and easy installation, configuration and management of the whole network out of WatchGuard’s Wi-Fi Cloud. With this powerful little beast, we can deliver and guarantee a high-quality Wi-Fi network, protected by WIPS, which will make the customer happy for many years to come.”

The AP125 can be managed with either a Firebox, via the Gateway Wireless Controller, or with WatchGuard’s Wi-Fi Cloud. When managed by the Wi-Fi Cloud, you get strong set-up, management and reporting features including:

• Patented Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) protection against the six known Wi-Fi threat categories
• Intelligent Network Visibility & Troubleshooting
• Engaging Guest Portal Experiences
• Powerful Location-Based Analytics
