Wireless local area networks are being deployed at a record pace as the need for mobile connectivity both within and outside the workplace increases.

By equipping employees with mobile devices, leading-edge enterprises remove the barriers to networking and communication, increase productivity, and gain competitive advantage.

Even with the obvious cost savings and productivity gains, wireless LAN technology presents significant challenges for IT professionals.

How do you support a growing number of wireless devices and competing standards, protect valuable computer resources from the growing threat of Internet viruses and worms, overcome bandwidth limitations, protect the network from unauthorized users, and integrate your WLAN into an existing wired infrastructure?

The answer—Bluesocket’s BlueSecure Controller family

Utilizing Bluesocket’s Secure Mobility® technology for wireless data and voice applications, BlueSecure Controllers provide high-performance, reliable, policy-based WLAN security and management solutions that have been deployed by hundreds of large institutions, enterprises, and public access providers.

Enterprise-wide WLAN Solutions from the Edge to the Core

How it works

The BlueSecure Controller acts as a firewall between the wireless LAN access points and the wired LAN, and requires no changes to existing wired LAN hardware or user client software.

Additional BlueSecure Controllers can be connected to provide hot failover capability, as well as scalability and subnet mobility across the enterprise.

BlueSecure™ Indoor Access Points

BlueSecure™ Access Points are the next-generation, "thin" access point (AP) that works in conjunction with BlueSecure Controllers for enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) deployments.

The BlueSecure Access Point features dual radios supporting 802.11 a/b/g in a plenum-rated housing with fixed omni-directional antennas (Model AP-1500) and optional external antennas (Model AP-1540).

BlueSecure Access Points extend and complement the industry-leading, enterprise-class WLAN security and management capabilities provided by BlueSecure Controllers.

While providing industry-standard radio and security functions, role-based policy management and universal authentication functions are offloaded to centralized BlueSecure Controllers, making BlueSecure APs cost-effective and simple to deploy and manage.

BlueSecure™ Outdoor Access Points

The Bluesocket outdoor wireless bridge/AP utilizes 802.11a to support a point-to-pointor point-to-multipoint building-to-building bridge function, while simultaneouslyusing 802.11b/g to support wireless connection for outdoor user access.

The outdoorAP is designed with a rugged weatherproof housing, a durable mounting bracket,includes weatherproof Ethernet and console cables, and a PoE power inserter.
