WatchGuard is excited to announce the release of Wi-Fi 6 access points and centralized management of Wi-Fi in WatchGuard Cloud.

We have been busy building a new Wi-Fi management platform integrated directly into WatchGuard Cloud. With the introduction to the new simplified management platform, we will be introducing a new line of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access points. These access points, explicitly designed for management in WatchGuard Cloud, will bring excellent performance and more security to network environments of all shapes and sizes while enabling rich integration to AuthPoint, WatchGuard's endpoint solutions, Firebox, and Wi-Fi, all in one centralized platform. Everyone can simplify daily network and security tasks by deploying and supporting WatchGuard's portfolio of products from one central location.

The following are some key benefits included in the Wi-Fi launch:

• Dedicated Wi-Fi 6 Hardware: provides industry-leading performance and security enhancements designed to be managed directly from WatchGuard Cloud.
• Centralized Management in WatchGuard Cloud: consolidates your management to one Cloud management platform with familiar workflows and a single vendor for support.
• Simplified management: supporting zero-touch deployment of wireless networks to distributed enterprise or remote workers, WatchGuard Cloud is designed for quick deployment while it simplifies day-to-day tasks.
• Remote Access Point: a feature inside Wi-Fi in WatchGuard Cloud is allowing administrators to deploy an access point for remote workers and secure their connection back to the corporate office over an IKEV2 VPN with no software required on the local machine.

WatchGuard Cloud eliminates the need for any physical or virtual infrastructure requirements and enables dependable and secure wireless services

Wi-Fi Cloud User,

Organizations around the world have taken another look at how they run their business. With the exponential growth of remote workers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some companies have adopted a remote/hybrid work model even when things get back to normal.  

What does this mean for IT administrators? They need a way to easily connect users back to corporate data with a little administrative effort as possible, while the solutions stay transparent to the end user. But most importantly it must be secure.  

WatchGuard introduces the ability to deploy Cloud-managed access points (AP) that tunnel traffic back to corporate resources based on the SSID an end-user is connected to. With WatchGuard’s Wi-Fi Cloud management, you can easily manage your Wi-Fi no matter where it is installed.
