| What Cisco Motion brings to the FMC table Cisco recently announced a fixed mobile convergence (FMC) strategy and unified platform to improve delivery of enterprise mobility applications between Wi-Fi and mobile networks. Cisco will team with ecosystem partners ... Cisco overcomes 11n AP power, form-factor issues Cisco has tackled the power-consumption and form-factor criticisms of its hefty Aironet 1250 Series Access Point in a new pre-standard 802.11n AP platform, officially announced this week. The new Draft N Aironet 1140 ... Cisco takes aim at mobility with appliance line Attempting to tackle a whole problem that has been attacked in parts, Cisco plans to try consolidating enterprise mobility technologies on Wednesday, introducing a series of appliances to help enterprises take better advantage of mobile devices and location information. Space invaders: You and WIPS This situation points to the need for a wireless IPS even if you haven't implemented wireless LANs internally, because all of your new notebooks have built-in wireless. 802.11n support added to wireless intrusion defense AirTight Networks this week announced the planned mid-September release of its SpectraGuard Enterprise wireless IPS, which will let network managers identify and manage 802.11n access points and clients. Enterasys to unveil distributed intrusion prevention package Enterasys Networks next week is expected to unveil a distributed intrusion prevention system (IPS) designed to detect and respond to threats across multivendor wired and wireless networks. AirDefense redesigns wireless intrusion software A new release of AirDefense's wireless intrusion prevention and detection software features a major user-interface redesign, big boost in speed, and greatly expanded reporting tool. Security service monitors WLAN intrusions AirTight's SpectraGuard wireless intrusion prevention software is now available as a monthly online service. Wi-Fi spectrum is monitored by plug-and-play radio sensors installed at the customer's site. Enterprises still neglecting WLAN security Most European enterprises are neglecting their wireless LAN security, with an alarming number using only the most basic security protection for their wireless networks. Analyze this: Low-cost wireless spectrum analyzers do the trick While it's seldom necessary (post-installation, anyway) to test the physical-layer behavior of a wired LAN infrastructure, the same cannot be said for wireless LANs. AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer fills out top quality WLAN management suite Spectrum Analyzer suffers from the installation complexity we noted in our review of the packet capture and analysis capabilities in the company's Wi-Fi Analyzer product, although the fact that we'd already registered with AirMagnet simplified matters somewhat. Beware, though, that the installation process binds the product to a particular PC, which may not be convenient in every case. Berkeley analyzers tuned for daily use BVS has been building mobile spectrum analyzers of many forms for quite some time, and today offers a broad product line covering both WLAN and WWAN technologies. Metageek defines low-end WLAN analyzer space Metageek's Chanalyzer application is geared towards casual users. Three key "views" are presented: Spectral, which shows energy over time; Topographic, which displays waveforms by frequency ("popularity" indicated by color); and Planar, which shows instantaneous, average and maximum energy by frequency.
