  • Pakedge Introduces Its W5N Wireless Access Point with Dual-Band Radio for Seamless Wi-Fi Roaming in Larger Wireless Networks
    pakedgedevice&software inc. Press Release for Pakedge W5N2 For Immediate Release Date: November 15, 2012 Contact: Nick Phillips, 650-385-8712, [email protected] Frank Doris / Media Relations, 631-645-5668, [email protected] Pakedge Introduces Its W5N2 Wireless Access Point With Dual-Band Radio for Seamless Wi-Fi Roaming In Larger Wireless Networks Foster City, CA – Pakedge Device & Software today announced the introduction of its W5N2 Wireless Access Point With Dual-Band Radio, which incorporates the company’s exclusive Residential Virtual Cell Technology to enable multiple wireless access points in a large network to function as a single “virtual” wireless access point (WAP). This enables seamless Wi-Fi roaming without handoffs for any Wi-Fi device, whether a laptop, touch panel, iPad®, touch VoIP Wi-Fi phone or other portable device. Here’s how non-virtualized or traditional Wi-Fi works: wireless networks that cover a large area require multiple WAPs to achieve adequate coverage. However, when a person moves from the coverage area of one WAP to another, there is typically an interruption in service as one WAP "hands off" to another. The result is an interrupted video stream, phone call or data stream, or lost commands from a touch panel. In contrast to traditional Wi-Fi, the Pakedge W5N2 and its companion CTL-W5N Wireless Virtualization Management Controller provide an extremely reliable Wi-Fi roaming solution. The W5N2 and CTL-W5N use Residential Virtual Cell Technology to link the operation of all the wireless access points in a network together so that they all appear as a single wireless access point to a device (client), even though many wireless access points are installed.

  • Enabling Carrier® Infinity® Networks in Large Applications Rev
    Enabling Carrier® Infinity® Networks in Large Applications rev. 20140418 rwp Wireless Access Point Range Extension Applications and locations that require a large number of Carrier® Infinity® systems in a large physical space may benefit from repeaters or Wi-Fi® range extenders to provide or improve wireless coverage across the entire space. This general guideline is designed to help extend the range of coverage of the Infinity® wireless network for locations and applications that cover more than 50-80 feet (15-25 meters) of lateral distance between the Infinity wireless access point (WAP) and any of the wall controls to be connected to that access point. Extended coverage is accomplished using Wi-Fi range extenders, also known as bridges or repeaters. This information may be useful if you are having trouble with signal strength due to obstructions between the WAP and a wall control. A repeater may be placed in a way that allows the wireless signal to be directed around an obstruction.

  • Public Wireless Access Security Assessment Tool
    WiFiCue: Public Wireless Access Security Assessment Tool GIAC (GCIA) Gold Certification and RES 5500 Author: Jonathan K Adams, [email protected] Advisor: Sally Vandeven Accepted: September 30th 2019 Abstract Public wireless access points are commonly provided by governments, businesses, schools and other organizations and provide access to the Internet for numerous use cases and can present varying degrees of risk to users. While there are steps that can be taken to mitigate public Wi-Fi risks, ranging from avoidance to the application of end-to-end encryption, application specific encryption, and other technologies and tools, these options are not always viable. This paper examines risks associated with Wi-Fi from on a network-by-network perspective. Recommender Systems are presented as part of a proposed mechanism for informing users of the risks of connecting to a specific access point. Implementing prototype architecture for this purpose is examined. WiFiCue: Public Wireless Access Security Assessment Tool 2 1. Introduction Public wireless access points present an untrusted computing environment for users, whether they are witting of the threat or not. One of the remedies often suggested is to utilize a Virtual Private Network [VPN]. On some wireless networks, VPNs may be disallowed. Even if allowed, Virtual Private Networks vary greatly in their security, and depending upon the vendor, may introduce additional risks and reasons for concern. Additionally, depending upon the application to be used, VPNs can inject network latency that makes some uses suffer, resulting in a poor user experience. Some key factors in assessing the security of a public wireless network are what version of 802.11 is implemented, whether the wireless access point provides the option for encryption, and if so, what the level of encryption is and what mechanism is used for key exchange.

  • Wireless Security: an Overview
    Communications of the Association for Information Systems (Volume 9, 2002) 269-282 269 WIRELESS SECURITY: AN OVERVIEW Robert J. Boncella Washburn University [email protected] ABSTRACT The physical transport methods used in wireless communication differ from wired communication. These differences affect how a secure channel can be established in a wireless environment. The purpose of this tutorial is to provide an overview of how a secure channel is set up in a wireless environment that uses the 802.11 or WAP standards. KEYWORDS: WLAN Security, WTLS, WAP, WEP, 802.11b I. INTRODUCTION Wireless and mobile networks are rapidly extending their capabilities. In addition to their increasing bandwidth and because of their flexibility and freedom they are becoming the communication infrastructure of choice. Wireless communication provides a user the capability of conducting commerce at anytime, with nearly anyone, from anywhere, using a mobile communication channel. This mobile communication channel can also be used as an access method to the Internet. As wireless communication and the Internet become truly interoperable, users will want this communication channel to be secure and available when needed. For a message sent using this communication channel, the user expects assurance of: • authentication (the sender and receiver are who they say they are); • confidentiality (the message cannot be understood except by the receiver); and • integrity (the message was not altered). The goal of this tutorial is to provide an overview of what is required to provide a secure communication channel in a wireless environment. The focus is on the security techniques available for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and for wireless devices (e.g.
