Sophos Central Wireless Enhancement to Support Multiple Mesh SSIDs
For Sophos AP6 Series access point customers the product team is happy to announce the availability of Multiple Mesh SSID support in Sophos Central.
Wireless Mesh: AP6 Series access points can be configured in a wireless mesh mode. A wireless mesh allows the AP6s to create a private SSID that is only visible to other AP6 access points that are configured to take part within the mesh network. The access points function as a wireless bridge for different wireless network segments. Wireless mesh is used for deployments where physical cabling may not be available for all access points deployed within a location. For additional information about Sophos AP6 Wireless Mesh.
This new capability unlocked in Sophos Central allows customers to deploy wireless Mesh to multiple locations where Sophos AP6 Series access points are deployed and there is a need for Wireless Mesh.
