Protect your wireless LAN with state-of-the-art technology

Managed Wireless LAN Service features lightweight, low-cost, plug-and-play access points. These access points act as extensions of your wireless controllers, assuring ease of deployment and minimal disruption to existing LAN infrastructure. And lightweight access points retain no configuration data—so their theft or loss can never compromise your network.

Inherent Access-Point Security

  • Supports end-to-end encryption from the access point
  • Works with all approved IEEE wireless security standards, including WPA, WPA2, and 802.11i including:
    • AES encryption
    • Customer-supplied password tokens
    • EAP authentication (PEAP and TLS)
  • Gives you the flexibility to control when and where access is permitted
  • Segments users by policy, VLAN, SSID
  • Linits access to only authorized wireless LAN devices operate within your premises
  • Helps protects against unauthorized access behind your firewall
  • Detects ad-hoc wireless devices
  • Enforces “No wireless” policies within your enterprise

Simultaneous or Dedicated Air Monitoring

Rogue access point monitoring, detection, and notification (Air Monitor mode) detects wireless activity within your RF space and reacts quickly to real or potential threats. Air Monitoring helps:
  • Enforce your enterprise’s wireless security policy
  • Detect unauthorized users or wireless devices
  • Protect the LAN from malicious attacks

Note: Managed Wireless LAN Service includes an option for wireless-enabled 802.1x compliant RADIUS authentication appliance (customer-administered).
