PheeNet WSW-1808A is a Wireless Switch, which is centrally managed smart Wireless LAN (WLAN) system developed specifically for small to medium enterprise (SMEs) and hot zone operators. It provides all essential service to simplify management, lower the cost of deployment, and provide multiple layers of security.
Simplify Wireless Management
Easy of management and troubleshooting comes from self-configuration and self-healing of the wireless networks. It accurately locates each user and recognizes all of the characteristics of the user along with the AP ranging from the location, MAC address (BSSID), channel, radio type, manufacturer, status on the network and network name for ease of management.
As the Wireless Switch is aware of the RF characteristics within a network infrastructure, it can easily detect interferences between nearby APs and re-configure their power and channel settings automatically. Through these principles, when the switch detects a coverage break due to an AP going down, it can instruct nearby APs to increase the power levels to fill the break.
Lowering the cost of deployment
Factors that contribute significantly to the high costs of deployment are pre-installation site-surveys for example, where to place the access point, installing new cables and power to APs and re-configuring the existing network infrastructure including configuring the individual access points which take time and money.
A Wireless Switch provides Power over Ethernet, eliminating the need to draw power to each access point. It does not required the access points to be directly connected to the wireless switch, the access Points can be deployed anywhere in the network and they will be discovered and configured by the wireless switch such as the power level settings, security and channel setting to optimize performance and coverage on a system-wide basis .
Unifying Wired and Wireless Security
A.Authentication
B.Authorization
C.Encryption
D.RF security
WLANs must simultaneously authenticate employees, guests and contractors using a variety of authentication methods such as 802.1x since wireless users cannot be treated as the same as wired users. One can control wireless user’s access privileges using a variety of deterministic criteria such as authentication method, device type, and the application requested is key to providing differentiated access to maintain security. WLAN must provide state-of-art encryption techniques to maintain security but must also identify all the security extended over the wire setup until all the security policies are applied. This means not stopping the encryption at the AP but keeping WLAN traffic fully isolated unit it has passed through a firewall at the WLAN switch.
Finally, being able to detect and stop unauthorized (rogue) APs and stop all unauthorized wireless connectivity in the network is a key component of WLAN security. Accurately identifying on AP as a rogue or simply as an interfering AP(i.e., “ neighboring AP “ ) along with precisely pinpointing its location is an essential part of providing complete RF security . In turn, Wireless Switch now let small and mid-sized business literally “secure the air”.
To conclude, PheeNet WSW-1808A is a must-to-have device for SME, Enterprise, or operator to manage their wired and wireless network efficiently.
