AirDefense Unveils New Sensors with ZeroCabling(TM) Solution; Model 500 Sensors with ZeroCabling Lower Total Cost of Ownership for Enterprises Deploying Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems.ATLANTA -- 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, today announced the availability of two new sensor models for its advanced wireless intrusion prevention system In computing, a wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) is a network device that monitors the radio spectrum for the presence of unauthorized access points (intrusion detection), and can automatically take contermeasures (intrusion prevention). , AirDefense Enterprise 7.0. The new sensors can be deployed with AirDefense's ZeroCabling(TM) solution, which lowers the total cost of ownership by eliminating the need to pull an additional Ethernet cable The most common form of Ethernet cable is the telephone-like RJ-45 cable (see Ethernet). Using a "crossover cable," two machines can be plugged together using their Ethernet ports. The crossover cable is designed for direct connection between two Ethernet devices (PCs, peripherals, etc. . Traditionally, cabling costs exceed the sensor or access point hardware costs, but with ZeroCabling companies can reduce deployments costs by as much as $1500 per sensor. In a recent Network Computing Storing and/or running applications in servers in a network. See cloud computing and network computer. review of Wireless IDS/IPS systems, AirDefense ranked first in the "Sensor/Probe Design and Implementation Category".

The new Model 500 sensors include the M510 sensor, a compact sensor with internal diversity antennas for most office applications. The exterior casing on the M510 sensor has the appearance of a common smoke detector smoke detector n. An alarm device that automatically detects the presence of smoke. Also called smoke alarm. , making it ideal to inconspicuously in·con·spic·u·ous adj. Not readily noticeable. in  con·spic mount in any building for security monitoring and location tracking. The M520 sensor is designed with a compact metal enclosure, better suited for industrial applications. The external rubber duck antennas allow the sensor to be mounted in any orientation, while ensuring maximum coverage. Both Model 500 series sensors are plenum rated (UL 2043) for mounting in plenum space and comply with the ROHS (Reduction Of Hazardous Substances) European Union regulations enforceable on July 1, 2006 that set maximum concentration limits on hazardous materials used in electrical and electronic equipment. (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) directive for import into the European Union European Union (EU), name given since the ratification (Nov., 1993) of the Treaty of European Union, or Maastricht Treaty, to theEuropean Community member nations. The Model 500 series sensors can accept Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) from an 802.3af compliant switch or midspan. Using PoE eliminates the need to run separate power to the sensor, reducing the installation cost of the sensor. In addition, AirDefense offers a unique ZeroCabling(TM) solution to quickly and cost-effectively deploy wireless security monitoring sensors in existing wireless LAN deployments. AirDefense offers an innovative, standards-compliant, power and data sharing solution that allows a single Cat5 cable to service both an access point as well as a dedicated sensor. This patent-pending technique can virtually eliminate the cost of running extra cables for each sensor. "ZeroCabling technology developed by AirDefense offers enterprises a significant cost savings by eliminating the need to hard wire each sensor to a dedicated Ethernet cable," according to David Thomas, vice president of product strategy at AirDefense.
