AirTight 802.11ac

 

Industry’s First  802.11ac WIPS Sensor

AirTight's patented 802.11ac wireless intrusion prevention (WIPS) technology allows for fully-automated 24X7 protection, with zero false positive / false negative operation, requiring minimal IT involvement for mitigation of wireless threats or compliance reporting. 

AirTight  WIPS sensors are unprecedented in scale, with the ability to monitor up to 2000 active wireless devices per sensor, this functionality is increasingly critical to the connected enterprise. Equally important is the capacity of AirTight's management system to scale to hundreds of thousands of devices being monitored across multiple geographies.

 

How does the new 802.11ac standard affect the AirTight WIPS system?

The 802.11ac C-75 WIPS Sensor is able to detect and neutralize threats sourced by legacy (802.11a/b/g), 802.11n and 802.11ac devices.

If C-75s are deployed, you have a comprehensive WIPS solution that can handle threats from all types of 802.11 devices.

 

High-value, No Compromises

The AirTight C-75 WIPS Sensor is ideal for delivering high performance in enterprise environments with 802.11ac clients or where distinct applications need to run on separate radios or frequency bands.

The Sensor operate on AC power or can be powered using the prevalent IEEE 802.3af PoE standard without any loss of 802.11ac performance eliminating the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades to PoE+ (802.3at) for full functionality. 

 

Centrally Managed plus Plug-n-Play Deployment

AirTight WIPS Sensors automatically connect and synchronize with the AirTight's management server, whether hosted onsite or in the Cloud, enabling true plug-and-play deployment at remote locations in minutes without the need for onsite configuration or support. Whether deploying 10 APs or 10,000 APs, the entire deployment can be managed from a single pane of glass.

 

Ready for the Internet of Things

AirTight 802.11ac WIPS Sensors are uniquely ready for the Internet of Things (IoT), and not just as it exists today. IDC predicts that 28 billion connected devices will exist by 2020 and AirTight is helping network professionals prepare for the onslaught of the IoT by scaling up network monitoring capabilities on its 802.11ac platform. It now has the ability to monitor 2000 active wireless devices per sensor, which is critical as industries of all kinds move into realms of wider connectivity.

Equally important is the capacity of AirTight's cloud management system to scale to hundreds of thousands of devices being monitored across multiple geographies.

This scalability is coupled with AirTight's patented 802.11ac wireless intrusion prevention (WIPS) technology, which allows for fully-automated 24X7 protection, with zero false positive / false negative operation, requiring no IT involvement for mitigation of wireless threats or compliance reporting.
