WatchGuard AP322 Overview:
WatchGuard’s AP322 brings secure, cloud-managed Wi-Fi to the outdoors. Its rugged, IP67-rated enclosure protects the wireless access point from the wind, rain, and cold weather, while six integrated omnidirectional antennas operate with three spatial streams per radio (3x3 MIMO) to deliver broad, fast, and reliable Wi-Fi coverage. The AP322 is ideal for stadiums and sports fields, schools/universities, malls, parks, hotel pool areas and open air cafes, shipping docks, warehouses, and other harsh environments or outdoor locations.
Flexible Management Options
You can manage AP322 access points with either a Firebox, via the Gateway Wireless Controller with lightweight feature set, or with WatchGuard’s Wi-Fi Cloud. And with the Wi-Fi Cloud you get an expanded set of features including strong WIPS security, marketing tools, and location-based analytics for optimal business insights.
Performance Without Compromise
Incorporating the latest 802.11ac standards, you’ll have speeds of up to 1.3 Gbps over the air, without sacrificing security. When managed by the Wi-Fi Cloud, WatchGuard APs come standard with RF optimization, spectrum monitoring, and trouble-shooting built in.
Uniquely Effective Approach to Security
Using patented Marker Packet technology, WatchGuard’s cloud-managed WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System) defends your airspace from unauthorised devices, manin-the-middle and denial-of-service attacks, rogue APs and more. As a dedicated WIPS sensor, the AP322 can be added to any existing Wi-Fi network for a powerful layer of patented security features simply unavailable in most AP devices.
Advantages of Cloud-Based Managemnt
WatchGuard’s secure cloud-managed APs deliver the most comprehensive set of features for the price - including marketing tools for customizable user engagement and locationbased analytics for enhanced business insights. With the WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud, IT pros can enjoy an entirely controller-less Wi-Fi management experience including setup, configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, and improving corporate and guest Wi-Fi access, without worrying about the limitations of legacy controller infrastructure. Wi-Fi Cloud environments easily scale from one to an unlimited number of APs across multiple locations. APs can be grouped in many ways including location, building, floor, and customer to maintain consistent policies.
Feature and Benefits
- Support for up to 8 individual SSIDs per radio allows for maximum flexibility in network design.
- The IP67 sealed enclosure protects APs in harsh, wet outdoor environments so they can be mounted with direct exposure to the elements - no overhang or shelter required.
- AP322 devices can be converted to a dedicated security sensor with a single click for maximum wireless protection.
- Manage with Wi-Fi Cloud for expanded features including strong WIPS security, marketing tools and location-based analytics for enhanced business insights.
- Patented Marker Packet technology is used to accurately detect authorised, unauthorized, and external access points on any network with the fewest false positives in the industry.
- Supports self-healing and bridge-mode wireless meshing for optimal installation scenarios.
WatchGuard Access Point
Offering basic Wi-Fi access doesn't give you a competitive advantage, it offers you a chance to compete. With benefits ranging from increased productivity to improved customer satisfaction, implementing a wireless network for your employees and guests has become the table stakes of doing business. But Wi-Fi also opens your business to significant security risks, and can be complicated to deploy and manage, not to mention expensive.
WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud solutions, true game-changers in today's market, are engineered to provide a safe, protected airspace for your Wi-Fi environments, while eliminating administrative headaches and greatly reducing costs. With expansive engagement tools and visibility into business analytics, they deliver the competitive advantage your business needs to succeed.

No need to rip and replace, just add WIPS
Each WatchGuard access point has the flexibility to operate as both an access point and a dedicated WIPS security sensor. This means that when deployed as dedicated WIPS sensors, the devices work with your existing access points (Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus, Ubiquiti, etc) and add enterprise-grade wireless security protection to your network. In this case, instead of delivering secure Wi-Fi traffic to users, we deliver unprecedented WIPS security protection that is 100% dedicated to scanning the air and protecting your business from wireless threats.
Comparision Guide:
Designed from the ground up for businesses of all types and sizes, access points from WatchGuard deliver the best combination of security, performance, and manageability on the market.
