Colubris Secures WLAN

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Colubris Networks, a leading provider of intelligent wireless LAN (WLAN) solutions, today announced RF management and security features for its intelligent multiservice system that set a new standard in the industry for security, and satisfies enterprise requirements for an RF infrastructure that is secure, easy to deploy and operate.

The InCharge RF Manager is an option for the award-winning Colubris Intelligent MultiService System. The solution provides customers with a single integrated infrastructure with best-of-breed network access and RF security capabilities. Until now, customers were faced with a trade-off between investing in specialized WLAN security systems deployed as a separate overlay infrastructure, or settling for WLAN switch systems with integrated, but limited, first-generation security capabilities. Overlay solutions incur significant additional equipment cost and management complexity while switch systems suffer from weak threat detection and prevention, and limited scalability. The Colubris Intelligent MultiService System eliminates this compromise, providing a highly scalable infrastructure that is secure and cost-effective to deploy and operate.

“McGill University has 3 years of experience operating an extensive WLAN service for 30,000 students, faculty and staff and we've built the best available security, based on Colubris products, into the network from the beginning,” said Mr. Gary Bernstein, Director Network and Communications Services, McGill University. “Our users have come to rely on this network for their daily work. We are excited to see Colubris adding strong RF-layer protection and security capabilities to mitigate threats arising from rogue access points."
