CACE Technologies Ships 802.11n Analysis Tool for Wireshark(R).Leading Networking Solutions Developer Expands AirPcap Family With Support for 802.11 a/b/g and n DAVIS Davis, city (1990 pop. 46,209), Yolo co., central Calif.; settled in the 1850s, inc. 1917. It is an education center with light industry; machinery, processed foods, and computer equipment are produced. The extensive Univ. , Calif. -- CACE CACE Center for Adult and Continuing Education CACE Center for the Analysis of Commercialism in Education (now Commercialism in Education Research Unit) CACE Canadian Association for Community Education Technologies, developer of enhanced tools for Wireshark, the open source network analyzer A specialized hardware device or software in a desktop or laptop computer that captures packets transmitted in a network for routine inspection and problem detection. Also called a "sniffer," "packet sniffer," "packet analyzer," "traffic analyzer" and "protocol analyzer," the network with a vast global user base and developer community of over 500 contributors, announced the release of the newest member of its AirPcap[TM] family, AirPcap-n, with support for 802.11a/b/g and n. The official unveiling occurred at the Wi-Fi Alliance (Wi-Fi Alliance, Austin, TX, www.wi-fi.org) A membership organization founded in 1999 devoted to certifying 802.11 wireless Ethernet devices for interoperability. The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo on a wireless radio (PC card, access point, etc. event in June when CACE demonstrated the driver to enthusiastic early 802.11-n adopters. Spurred on by requests from wireless product vendors for a driver to perform 802.11n compliance testing, CACE produced AirPcap-n in a few weeks. "Unlike most analysis tool developers that require non-native driver source to make their tools compatible with a variety of NICs, we are able to develop drivers very quickly by employing our own promiscuous driver code on industry-standard form factors like PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, San Jose, CA, www.pcmcia.org) An international standards body and trade association that was founded in 1989 to establish a standard for connecting peripherals to portable computers. PCMCIA created the PC Card. See PC Card. and USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. devices," states Loris Degioanni, co-founder of CACE. According to Larry Averitt from Intel's Mobility Group, "The Wireshark/AirPcap 802.11n solution is a fundamental tool in Intel's 802.11n protocol testing and evaluation. Along with exceptional 802.11n protocol support, the physical layer information reported on a per-packet basis, such as noise and signal modulation, has proved invaluable. CACE's use of open source tools will ease sharing of information between Intel and our customers, and their quick delivery of a stable and feature-rich product is an outstanding example of quality software development and customer orientation." About AirPcap AirPcap is an adapter that captures all or a filtered set of WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network frames, delivering the data to the Wireshark protocol analyzer. When deployed, Wireshark displays a special toolbar A row or column of on-screen buttons used to activate functions in the application. Many toolbars are customizable, letting you add and delete buttons as required. Toolbars may be fixed in position or may float, which means they can be dragged to a more convenient location in the that provides direct control of AirPcap during wireless data capture. Most WLAN packet analyzers use proprietary drivers based on source code provided by wireless chip manufacturers. AirPcap has its own promiscuous driver that operates independently from on-board NICs, allowing AirPcap to work with the broadest range of laptops and desktop PCs possible. About 802.11n and AirPcap-n 802.11n is breakthrough technology, enabling Wi-Fi networks to do more, faster, over a larger area. It is also a complex technology with the potential for introducing many problems as it is deployed in legacy 802.11a, b, and g networks. AirPcap-n is the first and only open, affordable, and easily-deployed 802.11n packet capture solution for Windows, providing complete wireless visibility to address network anomalies by capturing all 802.11a, b, g and n frames. This includes data, management and control frames, along with 802.11n-specific information such as HT information and aggregated PDUs. Fully integrated with the Wireshark open-source network analyzer, AirPcap-n captures 802.11n traffic on 20 and 40 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. channels. Thanks to a specialized capture adapter, AirPcap-n delivers detailed decoding of control, management, and data frames, including A-MSDUs, A-MPDUs, and HT frames. AirPcap-n Pricing and Availability AirPcap-n is available from CACE Technologies (www.cacetech.com) or from one of our authorized reseller partners for $598 USD USD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the U.S. Dollar. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion.
