Guest Wireless
Wireless LANs provide convenient access to the Internet and network resources throughout the workplace or campus environment. WiFi networks make it easy for Guests and Non-employees to access Internet resources or reach their home offices through VPN. However, the convenience of offering WiFi access often comes with a price:
IT Overhead to Provision Connections
Separate "Guest" Infrastructure
Constant ACL Adjustments
Weak Encryption for Easier Deployment
No Isolation of Internal Resources
WiFi access should not compromise your network's security, overburden your IT staff or increase your costs.
With the Guest Wireless solution, powered by the Edge7200 platform,
you can still enjoy the convenience of offering Wireless Access, but with
the comfort and confidence that the network remains secure. The Edge7200
technology allows you to implement granular, identity-based access control
to secure your wireless networks for all types of users - Employees, Guests,
Contractors. Control features include:
Admission control for all users onto the Wireless LAN
Differentiate network access between Guests, Employees & Contractors
Enforce access control based on the user's credentials, time of day and location
Provide differentiated access over common infrastructure (shared SSID)
Seamless integration with existing authentication services
Provide a captive portal to interact with users
Track all user activity on the network
Control the visibility to networks, servers or applications to all Wireless LAN users
Regardless of your wireless deployment, the Edge7200 can seamlessly integrate into your Wireless LAN and start enforcing access control with minimal impact to your users or your IT staff.
