Applied IP can implement mesh and wireless networks for voice and data communication on university campuses and in corporate environments. These networks offer a robust, cost-efficient, and straightforward means of establishing a redundant network. As an authorized Cisco reseller, we are on the leading edge of the rapidly evolving market for wireless technology.
Perhaps the only thing more important to your business than the data exchanged on your network is the ability to maintain the security of that data. Security fears have caused some network managers to avoid installing wireless LANs (WLANs), regardless of the numerous benefits that they provide.
Now the landscape of wireless security has changed, giving IT managers the confidence to deploy WLANs. Today via the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, Cisco offers an enterprise-ready, standards-based, WLAN security solution that supports the following features for Cisco wireless products, Cisco Aironet® products, and Cisco Compatible WLAN client devices.
• Support for the IEEE 802.11i standard
• Support for the Wi-Fi Alliance security certifications Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)
• Strong, mutual authentication and dynamic encryption key management via support for IEEE 802.1X
• Data encryption using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
• Support for the broadest range of 802.1X authentication types, client devices, and client operating systems on the market
• Mitigation of active and passive network attacks
• Integration with the Cisco Self-Defending Network and Network Admission Control (NAC)
• Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) capabilities and advanced location services with real-time network visibility
• Indoor/outdoor Wi-Fi security convergence with Cisco's wireless mesh solution
Cisco, the network leader and a driving force behind wireless networking, has made it possible for network managers to give users the freedom they crave without sacrificing the network security they demand.
