Fine Point Technologies Now Supports MPPE: Crucial Security Technology Ensures Safe Data Transfer Over 802.11 Fixed Wireless.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUPERCOMM 2003 Booth #11931 NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2003 Fine Point Technologies, Inc., developers and distributors of world-leading internet subscriber management software and hardware, today announced that its ServPoET Broadband Management System (BMS BMS abbr. Bachelor of Marine Science ) now supports Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE) is a protocol for encrypting data across Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Virtual Private Network links. It uses the RSA RC4 encryption algorithm. (MPPE (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption) An encryption method from Microsoft that is used to secure virtual private network (VPN) transmissions. See PPTP and MPPC. MPPE - Microsoft Point to Point Encryption ). This, among other things, enables its use in the termination of PPPoE for 802.11 fixed wireless. ServPoET is a hardware/software solution specifically designed to terminate PPPoE sessions in broadband networks  This article or section needs copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone and/or spelling.You can assist by [ editing it] now. . It is a vastly more efficient and less expensive alternative to other routers and network access concentrators See remote access concentrator. . Entirely complementary to routers such as Cisco and Redback, (which may already be built into the service provider's network,) ServPoET offloads PPPoE aggregation from those machines, allowing them to efficiently maximize their power for routing. For newer networks, ServPoET can extend beyond PPPoE termination to work on a stand alone basis as a complete back-end solution. MPPE is a form of encryption that secures the transfer of data from the server to the subscriber's computer. This is particularly important in the deployment of fixed wireless, to deflect de·flect intr. & tr.v. de·flect·ed, de·flect·ing, de·flects To turn aside or cause to turn aside; bend or deviate. [Latin d the attempts of hackers to access information. ServPoET can now be used as a secure back end solution in the fixed wireless space. This holds particular relevance for various deployment scenarios, including hotels and multi-tenant units. The recent growth in the fixed wireless space has made the development of an MPPE compatible access concentrator central to Fine Point Technologies' strategy. Many utility companies will use the electrical grid for the majority of the data transfer, but will then rely on fixed wireless technology to complete the data path to the subscriber's computer. Supporting MPPE allows ServPoET to be a truly viable option for a wider range of service providers. John O'Keefe The name John O'Keefe, sometimes spelled as O'Keeffe may refer to:
WinPoET, the industry leading PPPoE client, has recently been upgraded to support wireless networks with its v6.5. This makes it the ideal complement to ServPoET for wireless deployment scenarios.
