Additionally, the solutions are also Cisco Avvid certified.
"We have no doubt that South African companies will also benefit from Bluesocket`s leading range of products that will indeed improve the management of security in today`s vulnerable IT environments."
Bluesocket`s family of Wireless Gateways, for example, supports enterprise WLAN deployments from the network edge to the core.
The Bluesocket WG-400 supports branch and regional offices; while the WG-1100 can support entire office floors of up to 100 users, the WG-2100 offers hardware-based encryption acceleration and WG-5000 provides a core infrastructure platform supporting up to 1 000 users with 2 Gigabit copper or fibre ports.
Looking at the BlueSecure Intrusion Protection System, it is an economical way to deploy RF-based monitoring and analysis for WLANs. BlueSecure provides real-time updates of security and performance exceptions, determines how a WLAN is being used, where security holes are and when intruders are trying to access it.
