Legra Systems has released a wireless switch that includes
a high-performance cryptography engine that performs encryption-decryption
(multiple security suites) functions for up to four data streams
simultaneously on a priority basis.
Lok Technology has announced “an open-systems 802.11
infrastructure appliance” that provides access control,
stateful firewall, intrusion detection, packet capture, SSL
proxy, transparent Web cache, bandwidth management, routing,
and network administration.It can handle between 100 and 500,000
simultaneous users in an SSL-based virtual private network
(VPN) depending upon model and the amount of cache.
At an automobile test track north of Tokyo, NEC says it successfully
demonstrated in-house developed software that allows for a
fast sign-on and hand-over between standard access points.
The test involved four 802.11b access points placed at 500-meter
intervals. The access points were connected to a router that
used NEC's high-speed handover software was installed. A car
traveling at 205 miles per hour sped past the access points
while software managed the switch from one access point to
the successive one, according to the NEC source.
