DPAC Technologies Announces WPA and LEAP Support Across Its Family of Airborne 802.11b Wireless Products.GARDEN GROVE, Calif. -- DPAC DPAC Denver Performing Arts Complex (CO, USA aka: DCPA) DPAC Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (insurance) DPAC District Parent Advisory Committee DPAC Dover Partnership Against Crime Technologies (Nasdaq:DPAC), the market leader in embedded and packaged 802.11 wireless networking solutions for a wide range of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and applications, announces that the entire family of DPAC Airborne(TM) 802.11b wireless embedded modules and AirborneDirect(TM) wireless connectivity products now supports the WPA WPA: see Work Projects Administration. WPA in full Works Progress Administration later (1939–43) Work Projects Administration U.S. work program for the unemployed. and LEAP wireless security protocols. DPAC is the first provider of 802.11b wireless modules to incorporate both protocols, providing Airborne(TM)-enabled products with full enterprise-class wireless data security. "The devices our customers wireless-enable with DPAC Airborne(TM) modules are primarily destined des·tine tr.v. des·tined, des·tin·ing, des·tines 1. To determine beforehand; preordain: a foolish scheme destined to fail; a film destined to become a classic. 2. for enterprise-class environments," says Mike Zachan, Vice President, DPAC Airborne Products. "With WPA and LEAP functionality now incorporated into our modules, these devices meet the stringent security requirements of enterprise networks -- ensuring that Airborne(TM)-enabled wireless devices integrate seamlessly with existing corporate WiFi infrastructure." WPA (WiFi Protected Access) is a powerful, standards-based 802.11 wireless network security technology that employs 128-bit encryption keys and dynamic session keys, and verifies network users via an authentication server. LEAP is a Cisco-proprietary 802.11 wireless encryption technology designed around mutual authentication between a wireless client and RADIUS server. LEAP requires clients to reauthenticate frequently and provides dynamic per-user/per-session encryption keys. Cisco's WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network infrastructure is the leading choice of enterprise customers, and LEAP security is widely implemented in large-scale IT environments. The DPAC Airborne(TM) modules that incorporate WPA and LEAP functionality are: --DPAC Airborne(TM) 802.11b Wireless LAN Node Module -- Designed specifically for the OEM market, this extremely small drop-in module is interoperable with 802.11b and 802.11g access points that provide a cost-efficient infrastructure for a LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. or Internet connection. A built-in TCP/IP stack, Real-Time Operating System (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. and application firmware permit instant connectivity to a LAN or the Internet, with no device driver or host processor firmware development required. The module offers industrial temperature and power management capabilities, high flexibility, general purpose I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output , and embedded serial interface support for high-speed serial UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) The electronic circuit that makes up the serial port. Also known as "universal serial asynchronous receiver transmitter" (USART), it converts parallel bytes from the CPU into serial bits for transmission, and vice , I2C I2C Inter-Integrated Circuit I2C Intelligent Interface Controller I2C Intelligent Controller and SPI (1) (Stateful Packet Inspection) See stateful inspection. (2) (Service Provider Interface) The programming interface for developing Windows drivers under WOSA. . In addition, an integrated web server allows remote monitoring/control of devices via a standard browser. For module development/customization, a development tool set is available. --Airborne(TM) 802.11b Ethernet Bridge Module -- This module provides an industry-standard 10BASE-T interface to OEMs seeking to add wireless 802.11b connectivity to products with built-in Ethernet interfaces. The module incorporates a built-in web server that provides full configuration of network and wireless communications parameters via a standard browser. Alternately, the module can be configured using host-based code from the embedded command line interface. --Airborne(TM) 802.11b Serial Bridge Module -- A multi-protocol serial-to-802.11b bridge, this module simplifies the process of adding wireless connectivity to product designs with existing serial interfaces. The module supports industry-standard RS232/422/485 interfaces, and incorporates a specific command set for OEMs who need to add 802.11b connectivity to products with a built-in serial interface. The module's interface supports UART data transfers up to 460.8 kbps. According to Zachan, no RF/wireless or WPA/LEAP expertise is required to deploy DPAC Airborne(TM) modules. "When it comes to 802.11b wireless connectivity, DPAC Airborne(TM) modules offer the best combination of cost, ease-of-deployment, performance and throughput. And with the addition of WPA/LEAP functionality and the enhanced security that it offers, the modules truly are ideal solutions for 802.11b remote monitoring and control in an enterprise."
