Smart Wireless Enterprise Access Server. (Network News).Madge Networks Madge Networks NV. founded by Robert Madge and best known for its work with Token Ring, was a global leader and pioneer of high speed networking solutions in the mid 1990s, and also made significant contributions to technologies such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and Ethernet. new Smart Wireless Enterprise Access Server simplifies the deployment of large, secure and managed Wireless networks. Major features of the solution are: Enterprise Wireless Security: The Smart Wireless Enterprise Access Server implements Madge's standards compliant 5element security model' launched in May 2002 that allows customers to select their Wireless security policies from a range of options. These include 802.1x certificate based client authentication (1) Verifying the integrity of a transmitted message. See message integrity, e-mail authentication and MAC. (2) Verifying the identity of a user logging into a network. with automatic assignment of encryption keys, as well as VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. , firewalls and integral RADIUS Server. Multi-vendor Access Point Management: The software provides scalable support from 10's to 1000's of enterprise end-users, and is built for quick installation on any LINUX supported server. The Server manages the Madge 802.11 Access Point, as well as Access Points from Wireless vendors including Cisco, Orinoco, Symbol, Intel, Avaya and 3Com. Supports Multiple Wireless Technologies: The sol, are manages Wireless LANs 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 operating to the 802.11a and 802.11b standards, and will upgrade to future Wireless LAN technologies and security standards with minimal change to the core management platform. In addition, the software manages Bluetooth devices for the Wireless connection of appliances such as PDAs and telephones. The server meets industry networking standards and can be implemented on any standard Linux platform. Ethernet, Gigabit and Token Ring A local area network (LAN) access method developed by IBM. Conforming to the IEEE 802.5 standard, Token Ring uses a token ring access method and connects up to 255 nodes in a star topology at 4, 16 or 100 Mbps. connectivity allow integration in high speed backbone networks A backbone network provides a path for the exchange of information between different LANs or subnetworks.[1] A backbone can tie together diverse networks in the same building, in different buildings in a campus environment, or over wide areas. . www.madge.com |
