Sandia National Laboratories Provides Secure Wireless LAN Access to All Its Employees with the Trapeze Mobility System.PLEASANTON, Calif. -- Trapeze Networks(TM), today announced that Sandia National Laboratories Sandia National Laboratories, which is managed and operated by the Sandia Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation), is a major United States Department of Energy research and development national laboratory with two locations, one in Albuquerque, New , a major research and development laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration, has implemented Trapeze's 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 Mobility System(TM) for wireless access throughout its Livermore campus. A couple of years ago Mark Mitchell Mark Mitchell refers to:
Once the next generation of wireless products started to emerge, Mitchell began testing products from other vendors -- from startups like Trapeze to the large, incumbent networking companies. He wanted a wireless LAN system that would support a thin AP architecture, locate and suppress rogue APs, handle multiple VLANs, and feature 802.11 a/b/g radios. Ultimately, Mitchell ended up replacing the "fat" Cisco APs with the Trapeze Mobility System. He chose Trapeze based on security considerations, the responsiveness of the technical support group, the price/performance gain and the time-saving capabilities of the RingMaster planning and management tool suite. "The Cisco wireless gear posed a security risk because all the information is stored on the APs," said Mitchell. "The Trapeze architecture is inherently more secure than anything we tested. The value of the Trapeze Mobility System, and the myriad of features that are built into it, are absolutely without peer." The Trapeze wireless LAN Mobility System has proven to be a huge hit with the Sandia employees, providing mobility and productivity gains to those that use the system. A majority of employees now use the Trapeze's Mobility System for accessing the Internet and checking email during meetings and on the run. Recently, the on-campus medical department developed specialized applications for tablet PCs that enable physicians to download the latest vital patient information in real time, while ensuring full compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1996. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) website, Title I of HIPAA protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families when (HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191) Also known as the "Kennedy-Kassebaum Act," this U.S. law protects employees' health insurance coverage when they change or lose their jobs (Title I) and provides standards for patient health, ) of 1996. "I am truly impressed by all the amazing breakthrough wireless capabilities Trapeze has built into the Mobility System," noted Mitchell. "We pride ourselves on being in the forefront of the technology curve and Trapeze is the type of company we can rely on to help us make advancements in the way we do research."
