Wireless Protection - impact of UTM failure

Hi,

I'm currently planing a WLAN project for a customer. He wants to replace all cabeling with wireless stuff.

We currently plan to use several Sopos APs (6 x AP15 an 12 x AP30 together with a UTM 120).

The customer now asks if he needs high availability for the UTM appliance.
So the question is what will happen if the UTM has a hard/software failure ?
Does the WLAN form the APs still work? (meaning can local workstations still communicate internally?)
Of course Guest-Access/Vouchers from Sophos will not work. But my guess is that internal LAN communication (in the same Subnet) will still work. Is that correct?

Another question is how many APs can be connected to a UTM120?

Thanks Bob, Network and Wireless protections are required so I guess that will add more cost, but I do prefer the SG over the RED.

Wireless Protection is only required if people in the Branch are using an SSID not bridged to the LAN.
