AirDefense Delivers Advanced Wireless LAN Security Solution for Symbol Technologies' Next Generation RF Switch.LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. -- AirDefense Enterprise Wireless IPS (1) (Inches Per Second) The measurement of the speed of tape passing by a read/write head or paper passing through a pen plotter. (2) (IPS) (Intrusion Prevention S will be integrated with Symbol Wi-NG architecture, providing secure and robust wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area solution for next generation of wireless and mobility AirDefense, the innovator that launched the wireless LAN security One issue with corporate wireless networks in general, and WLANs in particular, involves the need for security. Many early access points could not discern whether or not a particular user had authorization to access the network. market, and Symbol Technologies, Inc., The Enterprise Mobility Company(TM), today announced integrated wireless access and intrusion prevention See IPS and IDS. solutions that together will provide the most secure and robust wireless LAN offering available. Using advanced technology from AirDefense, enhanced wireless intrusion protection systems (IPS) will be integrated with Symbol's new Wireless Next Generation (Wi-NG) architecture to enable security on Symbol's RF switch products. The AirDefense Enterprise Wireless IPS will be integrated with the Symbol Wi-NG architecture and utilize Symbol access points as sensor devices. "Symbol's Wi-Fi infrastructure products are deployed in some of the most demanding, business-critical networks in the world," said Amit Sinha, chief technology officer of AirDefense. "As regulatory requirements Regulatory requirements are part of the process of drug discovery and drug development. Regulatory requirements describe what is necessary for a new drug to be approved for marketing in any particular country. strengthen for many of these deployments, AirDefense and Symbol are well positioned to ensure organizations are prepared with a secure wireless network that can demonstrate compliance with regulations and adapt to protect the network from emerging threats." AirDefense constantly assesses the threat posed by wireless devices by using multiple detection engines and wireless correlation. AirDefense products catch even the most sophisticated attacks while eliminating false positive alarms that waste administrators' time. Using anomalous behavior detection, AirDefense technology also identifies day-zero threats that otherwise go unseen by signature detection systems. "As wireless deployments increase in size and complexity, and change environments, security management becomes a critical concern," said Chris McGugan, senior director of Symbol Technologies' Wireless Infrastructure Division. "By integrating AirDefense's technology with our new Wi-NG architecture, Symbol will be able to provide advanced wireless network intrusion prevention with enhanced location-based services See mobile positioning. to mobile users." Symbol's Wi-NG architecture will enable the consolidation of Wi-Fi, RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. , VoWLAN (Voice over Wireless LAN See voice over Wi-Fi. ), mesh and WiMAX networks in the industry's first integrated RF switching platform. AirDefense Enterprise Wireless IPS and Symbol's Wi-NG architecture will provide customers with a centrally managed solution, using Symbol access points and sensors for enhanced security and location-based services.
