Motorola tightens up on WLAN security
Summary
Combining the WISP sensor with the access points will lower wireless deployment costs since many businesses apply a separate security network layer for their wireless LANs, said Kevin Goulet, senior director of product marketing for enterprise WLANs at Motorola. However, Goulet said that a business might save $200 (£123) per access point because it would not need to spend that much for a separate sensor and installation. The AP-7131 will provide 802.11 a/b/g/n functionality, but a customer can also gain the combined sensor and AP capability with the AP-5131 for 802.11 a/b/g only, Goulet said. Jasyn Voshell, manager of enterprise security at Textron, said the company is researching the Motorola APs for future use. "The ability to deploy one hardware unit and combine the infrastructure would decrease overall costs."
