Week of December 6-10, 2004

  • AirWave Wireless has released version 3.1 of its AirWave Management Platform (AMP). Greg Murphy of AirWave says 3.1 includes enhanced rogue detection and will better integrate with Cisco's WLSE architecture. In fact, it can use Cisco Aironet APs to scan wirelessly for other APs. It includes an API for integration with other third-party intrusion detection systems (IDS) that use proprietary hardware sensors, as well.

    AMP 3.1 will also include better handling of overlapping channels, dual-radio configuration, and more access point support -- and will now work with third-party site planning tools to help IT set up the RF design they want through AMP.

  • Speaking of site surveys, AirMagnet has a new 2.0 version out of its Surveyor tool. There's now a standard edition for network administrators, and a Pro edition for people who do nothing but build Wi-Fi networks. Both versions can do larger-scale surveys and have support for AutoCAD formats, plus more simulation features to try different options without first having to deploy wireless equipment (with "before" and "after" pictures). The Pro version adds support for global positioning systems when doing outdoor surveys, multiple floor displays so you can watch wireless on four floors at a time, and detailed reports that installers can share with potential customers.

  • Gamers get priority with the new D-Link GamerLounge Wireless 108G Gaming Router (model: DGL-4300). Company media relations manager Darek Cannole says that the built-in GameFuel technology "analyzes packets, looks for games, and gives them priority. It will allow connections for FTP, P2P, surfing, e-mail—it allows them through—they just don't have priority." Gaming traffic recognized includes consoles like the Xbox and PlayStation2, as well as PC games. The $179 product uses Gigabit Ethernet on its ports to better support fast games, and has Atheros-based Super G 108Mbps 802.11g on the wireless side to squeeze out the fastest connections it can get. A sister product, the DGL-4100, does just Gigabit Ethernet.

  • InfoExpress has released version 3.0 of CyberGatekeeper, a network access controller that forces end-points (clients) to meet all network security policies before they can log on, whether they're local on a LAN or WLAN, or remote (even using a VPN). CG 3.0 comes on appliances distributed throughout a network—it's made specifically to work with whatever the existing infrastructure is. The previous version didn't support 802.1X, but the 3.0 version will, as long as you provide the RADIUS server and supplicant software. Clients have to run an executable, or have open a specific ActiveX client, to get on the network -- or, at the very least, meet the criteria set in CG as a device ID, whether it's based on MAC address or other. Pricing is based on the number of end-points: a CG 1000 unit will handle 50 users at once for $10,000 to start.

  • Patronsoft's hotspot management software, FirstSpot, is now hitting version 3. The Chinese company provides software and hotspot services for WISPs, and they say the new software provides "unprecedented control" over hotspots. New features include the ability to exclude certain IP addresses when using DHCP, support for Microsoft and Funk RADIUS servers, tracking data usage to specific users, client isolation to prevent unwanted users on a client PC, and more.

  • Fortress Technology will be providing its security features to long-range wireless broadband in a partnership with Redline Communications. Redline's pre-WiMax/802.16 equipment, they say, will be suitable for government and military applications—it will meet FIPS 140-2 and the Army's Wireless Best Business Practice policies for authentication and encryption.

  • Roku has a new unit for streaming digital audio from a PC to your home stereo over the wireless home network. The tube-shaped SoundBridge M500 works with most audio files (WMA, WAV, MP3, AIFF), including AAC files and Apple's iTunes software, unlike many other similar products. It costs $199, and sells at Radio Shack.

  • Cranite Systems' WirelessWall shot up to version 3.3 this week. The client software part now auto-detects Wi-Fi cards so IT can swap network cards without having to reconfigure the software.
