Wireless networking technology uses radio waves to send data to and from the network. Since wireless local area networks (WLAN) use protocol standards to transmit data, these radio waves are available to all network cards and access points--including unauthorized users. WLANs are particularly susceptible to “sniffing”--passive listening and data collection within the range of a wireless network device. Access control lists (ACL) and authentication servers can usually limit unauthorized access to your network. In addition, VPN, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), or WPA2 offers encryption of wireless data, rendering it unreadable to anyone sniffing your network.

 

 

Wireless Networking

For any organization looking to increase productivity while reducing cost, wireless local area network (WLAN) technology may be the answer. Wireless networks provide the mobility that users and workgroups require to operate at peak efficiency. WLANs also drive significant savings and return on investment by eliminating the costs associated with installing and maintaining a wired network. In addition, they reduce the operational expenses of administering end-user moves and changes on the network.

 

SysNet Technologies' WLAN practice offers complete consulting, design, implementation, and maintenance services for wireless Ethernet and wireless LAN-to-LAN bridging products. The products we use are all IEEE WPA compliant, and include both 11Mbs (Wi-Fi™) and 54Mbs Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology.

 

SysNet Technologies provides all pre-sale, implementation, and post-sale services you need to get your wireless network up and running quickly and securely—including site survey, engineering and design, and installation.

 

 

Security in a Wireless Environment

The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) standard is vulnerable to sophisticated listening and hacking techniques. The IEEE is well aware of this, and is sponsoring continued efforts to improve the standard security suite for Wi-Fi products. SysNet Technologies is well-versed in configuring the latest security solutions—including WPA and WPA2--and can help you enhance the security of your existing wireless network.
