Bluesocket Delivers New Platform for Management of Wireless Networks.Unified Software Platform Delivers Enhanced Management, Security and Usability across BlueSecure[TM] 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 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. -- Bluesocket, Inc., (www.bluesocket.com) the leader in open wireless network, security and management solutions, today announced a new software platform designed for its BlueSecure[TM] Controller family. The new platform unifies the underlying architecture of the Bluesocket WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network solution, delivering a number of new features related to improved scalability, security and administration, and system management. The Bluesocket software platform (v6.1) fully supports the latest line of BlueSecure Controllers, announced in February (see "Bluesocket Unveils New WLAN Product Portfolio"). Key new features include: * An edge-to-edge networking feature that allows for more flexible and scaleable network architectures. * Guest/Hotspot multi-property support per BlueSecure Controllers, as well as customized accounts and integrated revenue reports for Guest Access Services. * Enhanced Clientless Scanning, including scheduled checks for anti-spyware updates. * Enhanced Intrusion Detection System This article is about the computing term. For other uses, see Burglar alarm. An intrusion detection system (IDS) generally detects unwanted manipulations of computer systems, mainly through the Internet. (IDS) capabilities. * Roaming support between BlueSecure Access Points (APs) and third-party APs. * Improved usability including extensive inline/onscreen error checking and diagnostics. * New BlueView Management System capabilities including support for the BlueSecure Controller (BSC (Binary Synchronous Communications) See bisync. ) 5200 and a new mechanism to support large template distribution. The v6.1 sofware platform delivers Bluesocket's edge-to-edge architecture across all BlueSecure Controllers and APs, providing companies with flexibility in how they manage data flow for process-intensive functions such as Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) and security-intensive functions such as electronic medical records and credit card data processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a . By taking advantage of the Bluesocket edge-to-edge architecture, customers can design their networks so that defined portions of their wireless traffic are tunneled to BlueSecure Controllers, while traffic from other SSIDs is given access to an available application specific VLAN See virtual LAN. VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network . This architecture leverages the design of Bluesocket APs, allowing for certain functions such as Access Control (802.1x), Load Balancing The fine tuning of a computer system, network or disk subsystem in order to more evenly distribute the data and/or processing across available resources. For example, in clustering, load balancing might distribute the incoming transactions evenly to all servers, or it might redirect them and QoS to take place on the AP, as opposed to the network Controller. Applications such as VoWiFi benefit significantly from this solution architecture as call quality measures - such as jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle and latency - can be optimized. "The enhanced network performance, security, and system management capabilities delivered by the latest Bluesocket wireless LAN products, will allow us to realize significant improvements in our to day-to-day business activities," said John Sheridan John Sheridan can refer to:

"As Wi-Fi supported applications such as Voice communications continue to expand and as the degree of user mobility grows, customers can rely on Bluesocket to deliver leading-edge wireless mobility solutions that are designed to support their mission critical business operations." BlueSecure Controller Availability The BlueSecure Controller family incorporates Bluesocket's Secure Mobility[R] technology for wireless data and voice applications, giving users of laptops, PDAs and other mobile devices wireless access to corporate networks and the Internet while roaming. The BSC-7200 will support WLAN networks with up to 8,000 users, while the BSC-600 BSC-1200, BSC-5200 will support smaller networks, ranging from ten to 150 APs. The BSC-600 and BSC-1200 will both be generally available at the end of this month, while the BSC-7200 will be generally available in June.
