The solutions provide for WEP key rotation and the detection of rogue access points anywhere on an enterprise’s wireless LAN. Like other Wavelink products, both solutions are cross-vender and support legacy devices from Cisco, Symbol, Fujitsu, Internec, PSC and others.

When asked to comment on Wavelink’s WEP security solution, Bill Rossi, vice president and general manager of Cisco Wireless Networking Business Unit, said the WEP key rotation enhancement is ideal for "organizations looking for secure connections between their Cisco Aironet wireless LAN infrastructure and legacy handheld devices such as those found in retail and on the factory floor."

• WEP in Rotation Solution automatically rotates the WEP keys before a hacker has time to collect sufficient data to break the encryption. The solution works with or without an authentication server and in single- and multi-vendor environments.

• Rogue Access Point Detection Solution does not require special equipment or the attention of an IT administrator. Using existing wireless LAN resources, the solution constantly monitors airwaves for unauthorized users and devices. In addition, it detects the presence of rogue access points from a central management console. Unauthorized access points operating on a wireless LAN pose a serious security threat because of their ability to provide unauthorized access to data on an organization’s wired network.
