Wireless networks can grow with your business without replacing equipment or requiring re-cabling. |

What security will you require?
The type of access desired determines which WLAN security approach is appropriate.
Public access may call for no security, no Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), and Broadcast mode.
Telecommuters and small businesses often need basic security with Wi-Fi technology and static WEP of 40-bit or 128-bit.
Mid-market enterprises often require enhanced security with Dynamic Key Management System, mutual authentication, and 802.1x via Extensible Application Protocol (EAP).
Some mobile users and public access require specialized security with end-to-end security using virtual private networks (VPNs). We recommend you consult with us on your wireless network security requirements, to save you time, money and protect your business against security threats.
