 5G Wireless CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey.  Brian Corty, "Security has always been a strong point for our G-Force products. The new 802.11i standard is in line with our philosophy that Wi-Fi networks need to be as secure as well as convenient. We have been providing layer 2 security controls from the onset and are delighted to see that the IEEE has also adopted this as a standard for security. By adopting TKIP See WPA.  (Temporal Key See session key.  Integrity Protocol) we feel that the IEEE has removed another roadblock from wide-scale adoption of wireless networks. We believe that our products have consistently set the standard in Wi-Fi data integrity. This has been validated in real world applications where our technology has resisted attempts to compromise or even detect the network."

Based on its focus on Government and Municipal applications, 5G Wireless has utilized layer 2 techniques that have equipped its products with an extensive array of highly secure features. The company has applied these techniques to each of its applications at customers such as the City of Garden Grove to help ensure that data being communicated wirelessly is only accessible to authorized users and the network or its data is not visible to traditional scanners or sniffing techniques. Added Corty, "Even if we provided the ESSID ESSID Extended Service Set Identifier (IEEE 802.11 wireless networking)
ESSID Electronic Spread Spectrum Identification
 for the network, unless we authorize your acceptance you can not get on!"
