WiMetrics Corp. attempts to answer the growing problem of unauthorized access points on the corporate LAN with its new WiSentry Wireless Access Point Detection System. WiSentry uses several identification methods to detect enterprise-class access points from the likes of Cisco and Symbol, as well as consumer-class products from Linksys, SMC and others. By employing an intelligent combination of active and passive scans on the network, WiSentry's patent-pending solution scours the network passively (and without the need for radio-probe hardware) for "footprints" that are unique to wireless access points.
Tasman Networks claims its recently released Tasman 1004 multiscalable T1/E1 router will provide customers with the bandwidth of up to four T1s/E1s. The router, which includes four T1/E1 ports and two 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports, comes with 256 MB of SDRAM and 32 MB of flash memory. The router saves time by using such technologies as OSPF (open shortest path first), RIP and RIP2 routing protocols. It is rounded out by a complete Layer 2 software suite and uses PPP/MLPPP, FR/MFR and HDLC (high-level data link control). Starts at $1,995.
