Aruba Wireless Networks, a start-up based in San Jose, California, unveiled its wireless LAN switching product line. Aruba's new products include:
- the Aruba 5000, a modular WLAN switch designed for structured wireless deployment in the enterprise,
- the Aruba 800, a fixed configuration stackable WLAN switch for branch offices
- AirOS, a first suite of embedded WLAN switching applications that "lock" the enterprise airspace, self-calibrate 802.11 networks and track mobile users, and
- the Aruba 50 access points (APs), dual-purpose APs that provide both user access and air monitoring
Aruba's WLAN architecture combines sophisticated air traffic management, active user management, multi-layer security and advanced wireless switching services into a single, centralized system. Aruba features "Rogue AP protection" that lets network managers detect unauthorized APs and unauthorized users on their network. It also automatically stops rogues from accessing the enterprise network with active control of the air.
