Colubris Networks, a global provider of intelligent wireless LAN (WLAN) access equipment and software, will participate in six top-rated conferences during the coming three months – highlighting the benefits its products deliver to enterprises, government agencies, educational institutions and hotspot service providers.
Built on nearly three years of WLAN field experience, Colubris Networks recently announced a new line of intelligent access devices, adding powerful VLAN-based security features, background rogue scanning capability, and support for 802.11i security standards. Paired with a centralized WLAN management system, the new products enable network managers to deliver secure Wi-Fi access cost-effectively – without requiring WLAN switches or a separate, overlay network.
Colubris Networks intelligent access devices incorporate the industry’s first implementation of “Virtual Access Point” (AP) technology. Virtual AP enables a single access device to deliver up to 16 different Wi-Fi services and can be used to expand roaming services in public hotspots, or enforce tiered security policies in enterprise networks. Virtual AP technology ensures a high degree of security by enabling network managers to tailor services to unique requirements of specific user groups, such as different classes of employees, contractors, supply chain partners and corporate guests.
