Secure Mobility

Wireless LAN and WAN technology is helping businesses improve productivity and cut telecom costs. But none of the benefits are worthwhile if they can potentially compromise your security. ProStructure Consulting can help you take advantage of secure wireless technologies without letting intruders take advantage of you.

Security versus usability? You can have both!

Ensuring security and high performance of wireless networks used to require the purchase of expensive, proprietary equipment and cumbersome procedures for end users. But newer standards have boosted the security and performance of wireless networks. Advances in technology allow for multiple levels of security to be supported without additional equipment and they can integrate “single sign on” authentication. But with all of these new capabilities there is complexity in making the best choices from the myriad of products, and balancing security versus usability.

Making wireless as secure as wired LANs

Like any information technology Wireless Networks can represent a security hole if it is not configured properly. But when designed, implemented, and managed well wireless networks can provide tremendous productivity gains and mobility advantages on the shop floor, at meetings, and for employees in general. The elements to rollout include:

• Adding encryption using WPA and WPA2

• Implementing RADIUS authentication

• Implementing single sign-on

• Doing site surveys to ensure 100% coverage in targeted areas

• Providing access for visitors without exposing them to your internal network

• Providing building-to-building connectivity

ProStructure Consulting provides consulting in all of these areas to supplement your staff and ensure that your move to wireless can be painless, predictable, and profitable.

Why Wireless Networks

1. Productivity. By targeting conference rooms, atriums, picnic areas and the cafeteria you can boost employee productivity by giving them network access wherever they go.

2. Easy expansion. As companies expand into nearby buildings and build campuses, wireless links allow you to reach buildings miles away without having to call the phone company or your ISP.

3. Agility. Manufacturing and Warehouse agility depends on the ability to rearrange equipment and manage inventory. By bringing your handhelds and manufacturing equipment onto a single wireless network your company can improve response times and streamline the logistics chain.

“Our executives were clamoring for a wireless network for convenience and cost-savings on the manufacturing floor. ProStructure designed and implemented a best-of-breed wireless network that solved our security issues, all while keeping an eye on our tight IT budget. The security is so seamless that our users now roam the building without even realizing that they are using an ultra-secure wireless network.”
