AirMagnet Enterprise Helps Simplify the Management of Complex WLAN Applications With a New Policy Library.New Policies Allow Users to Easily Integrate Best Practices and Design Guides for Voice Deployments and Ongoing Management and Security of WLANs SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- AirMagnet Inc., the leader in security, performance and compliance solutions for wireless LANs 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 , today announced a new policy library for AirMagnet Enterprise. This new library aggregates the expertise of dozens of industry experts and Wi-Fi application design guides into a set of ready-to-use profiles that assist customers in the management of complex tasks such as monitoring and troubleshooting voice-over-WLAN and setting up Wi-Fi security policies. "WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network deployment and management can be a complex process, especially once you drill into analyzing vulnerabilities, spectrum forensics See computer forensics. and device monitoring," said Stan Schatt, vice president and practice director at ABI Abi (ā`bī) [short for Abijah], in the Bible, King Hezekiah's mother. (Application Binary Interface) A specification for a specific hardware platform combined with the operating system. Research. "Voice is still a mystery for many network managers, and having advice in the form of options based on practices and design guides should help when it comes to optimizing their networks for voice." The new library includes an expert voice policy that is specifically designed for environments deploying VoWLAN. Wireless data networks often have severe issues when attempting to integrate voice. To design and maintain a well performing VoWLAN, network managers must understand voice-specific characteristics including the varying performance thresholds of different phones and access points (APs), coverage requirements and roaming. AirMagnet now makes this simple by delivering a pre-configured policy based A decision made by any software application that is based on the policy (rules and regulations) of the organization. See policy and COPS. on a host of industry leading AP and phone vendors' design guides, as well as best practice policies defined by industry experts. In addition, other new policies are included to help companies get wireless monitoring up and running quickly and identify the most important security vulnerabilities and challenges in the network. These policies allow users to manage and learn the basics of Wi-Fi security management such as enforcing authentication (1) Verifying the integrity of a transmitted message.
