Gartner Wireless & Mobile Summit
Booth “S”

AirMagnet Inc, the award-winning leader in wireless network assurance solutions, will share strategies for securing key wireless technologies, such as voice-over-wireless LAN (VoWLAN), at the upcoming RSA conference in San Francisco. Chief technology officer Chia-Chee Kuan will speak about the security challenges inherent in VoWLAN deployments in a panel titled, “Advances in Wireless Security,” taking place from 9:10 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 7. AirMagnet will also showcase its suite of security monitoring and troubleshooting solutions on the exhibit floor at the Moscone Center in booth No. 2543.

AirMagnet will also highlight its solutions at the Gartner Wireless & Mobile Summit in Grapevine, Texas, on Feb. 5 and Feb. 6. Located at booth “S” on the exhibit floor, AirMagnet will speak with executive-level decision makers about how to enforce wireless LAN (WLAN) compliance policies and reduce risks in wireless deployments using AirMagnet’s wireless network assurance solutions.

“AirMagnet is excited to speak one-on-one with executives about how our products are helping today’s global enterprises get the most out of their wireless technology investments,” said Dean Au, president and CEO of AirMagnet. “Through these types of events and speaking engagements, we’re able to demonstrate the ways network professionals can fully secure their wireless LANs, and make them reliable for all end users across the entire enterprise.”

Voice-Over-Wireless LAN Advocacy

In-Stat forecasts the number of VoWLAN users will reach more than 60 million worldwide by 2010.1 While enterprises are eager to adopt converged VoWLAN phones that leverage both internal office WLANs and external cellular networks to keep employees connected around the clock, the lack of VoWLAN security standards poses a challenge for enterprises. Leveraging his experience in developing the AirMagnet VoFi Analyzer — the world’s first VoWLAN analysis tool for solving voice-related issues on encrypted networks — AirMagnet CTO Kuan will classify common VoWLAN deployment pitfalls and security risks and share steps to combat them. He will also outline the necessary components of a complete, end-to-end VoWLAN security system.

Live WLAN Product Demonstrations

On both exhibit floors, AirMagnet will demonstrate its mobile suite — including the most recent version of its wireless LAN (WLAN) troubleshooting solution, Laptop Analyzer 7.0 PRO — as well as the company’s flagship product, AirMagnet Enterprise.

The newly released AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer 7.0 PRO includes significant integration with the company’s Layer 1 analysis tool, AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer. By monitoring all layers of the network and RF environment for sources of interference, this integrated solution gives network administrators a more comprehensive view of issues impacting WLAN performance and security. Laptop 7.0 PRO also includes support for the 4.9 GHz public safety band and virtual APs, enabling network administrators to quickly diagnose and solve security or performance issues inherent in modern wireless network setups.

AirMagnet Enterprise — which enables network administrators to centrally manage global WLAN deployments, streamline security policies across multiple sites, and actively diagnose and fix problems remotely — ensures wireless networks are as reliable as their wired counterparts.

Show attendees will also be able to learn more about the other products in the AirMagnet mobile suite — including AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer, AirMagnet Survey and AirMagnet Planner — designed to help network administrators plan, manage and troubleshoot their WLANs for optimal performance, security and compliance.
