Investigating Wi-Fi Security Trends at the 802.11 Conference in Boston

At the recent Boston 802.11 Planet Conference and Expo, the aisles and booths were bustling with activity, giving ample proof that Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, or more properly, wireless networking) has finally come of age. The hardware gear venders - switch, carriers, . . . . At the recent Boston 802.11 Planet Conference and Expo, the aisles and booths were bustling with activity, giving ample proof that Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, or more properly, wireless networking) has finally come of age. The hardware gear venders - switch, carriers, integrators, chip manufacturers, and antenna - were all there in force, of course. However, the big news was that the show was dominated by vendors addressing network security, with new solutions from the network, software, and hardware perspectives. Security has long been the Achilles heel of the wireless industry. Set aside the security issues, though, and the case for wireless networking is overwhelmingly compelling -- it's cheap, easy, and portable. Now that the industry is addressing the problem head-on with new solutions for manageable and acceptable network security, Wi-Fi may well be a choice that enterprises should be considering (or reconsidering). According to an article in the April 26 issue of Barrons, a one-hour cruise in lower Manhattan last March revealed 622 Wi-Fi networks, with two-thirds of them wide open to unauthorized use. And don't think just because you are located in a suburban office park you can escape -- this problem is not limited to dense urban areas. Wi-Fi networks in multi-tenant office parks and employees' residences can easily spill over into adjacent areas inside the same building, or into or across public thoroughfares. The link for this article located at CrossNodes is no longer available. . Delve into the innovative Wi-Fi security measures presented at the Boston 802.11 Planet Symposium aimed at enhancing network protection.. Wireless Networking, Wi-Fi Security, Network Solutions. .
