I know a lot of you have an interest in the SonicWALL product range and I thought I would fill you in on the latest greatest. More info is available at http://www.sonicwall.com

TZ170W is the wireless version of the TZ170 and includes a 802.11a/b/g wireless access point which is secure.

TZ170SP is the PSTN backup version of the TZ170 and includes a PSTN modem which it will fall back to if the main WAN link fails

TZ170 SP-W.....I let you guess that one !

SonicPoints are wireless access points (802.11a/b/g) which are provisioned and secured from a SonicWALL device (Pro-5060/4060/3060/2040 or TZ170)
Just plug in and go....

IPS is SonicWALLs Intrusion Prevention System and is the reason to upgrade from your Soho3/Pro330 to the new devices.

Global VPN client for PocketPC has also arrived.

I hope that is useful but check out the SonicWALL website for more info.

Cheers
