Aruba Wireless Networks will lead the eNet wireless focus, providing next generation 802.11 Wi-Fi switches, access points, air monitors and wireless security capabilities. The system will be used for centralized control, RF management and security of the 802.11a+b/g infrastructure. "Merely the existence of wireless threatens every company's network security model," said Keerti Melkote, vice president of Marketing and Product Management for Aruba Wireless Networks. "Companies have spent millions of dollars building walls around their networks to protect them from outsiders. But with Wi-Fi, those walls are crumbling. Add to this an increasingly mobile workforce who need to access information wherever they are to do their jobs, and you quickly understand the profound impact that wireless technology is having in today's enterprise." Melkote noted that Aruba is proud to have been chosen for the second year to provide centralized wireless security products for this year's NetWorld+Interop eNetz. "Interop has been a showcase for the best practices the industry has to offer across a wide array of network and computing technologies. This year wireless will be front and center." According to IDC, the worldwide wireless infrastructure and application services market size will reach $34.6 billion in 2003, increasing to $68.3 billion by 2007. Another highly anticipated wireless area at NetWorld(SM)+Interop(R) is the Network World-sponsored iLab, 'LAN Access Security - Wireless and Wired.' In response to a strong demand from attendees for more education on securing the 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. , this iLab will emphasize protecting the enterprise network at the point of entry.
