- Product Description
- Symbol secured a market leadership in the wireless LAN switch market by utilizing an innovative central management, thin access port architecture. This same approach is extended to Wi-Fi security, allowing Symbol to provide the most comprehensive Wi-Fi security solution. Some of the key benefits of Symbol's approach include: Comprehensive Security Coverage Symbol's use of "thin" sensors allows customers to provide security coverage throughout the campus - inside the building, around the perimeter and parking lots - enabling the unprecedented ability to monitor and prevent over-the-air security threats. Built-in Redundancy Overlapping sensors provide redundancy, thus the Symbol security network will never be caught "off- guard." Central Management Sensor intelligence forwards only essential information for security analysis to the server for low-bandwidth sensor-server communications. Sensor-to-server traffic is encrypted and mutually authenticated to preserve the confidentiality of the security information. Accurate "Locationing" and Attack Detection By comprehensibly deploying "thin" sensors, a Symbol wireless network provides accurate "locationing," or pin-pointing, of malicious devices or activities. Centralized correlation makes detection of more sophisticated attacks possible.
- Market Opportunity
- Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) are essential security components for enterprise Wi-Fi networks today. Wireless IDS/IPS enables comprehensive security monitoring and management capability. However, these high-value systems come with a high price tag, both from a hardware and operational perspective.
- DEMO Says
- “When Symbol first introduced its Branch Office wireless switch technology at DEMO last year, the company widened the Wi-Fi marketplace for wireless networking by making it easy and affordable to deploy and manage WiFi networks from central operations to remote locations. Symbols introduction of Wireless Switching has disrupted the Wi-Fi market place and caused the major players to follow Symbols lead. Symbol continues in that tradition today, adding intrusion detection and prevention with location services to its distributed wireless networking system in a way that keeps purchase and operational costs so low that it will again open up the market to a much wider adoption of this technology”.
