3Com Delivers High-Security Solutions to Meet WLAN Demands
3Com and Fortress Technologies have joined their strengths and experience to offer enterprise-class wireless solutions with government-grade security. The solution combines the award-winning and superior value of the 3Com® wireless product portfolio with Fortress Technology's industry-respected FIPS 140-2-certified network security products and services for U.S. government agencies.
3Com and Fortress Technologies components work together seamlessly over a standards based, pervasive security architecture that shields the entire network from every significant external and internal threat. 3Com's end-to-end integrated product offerings support a broad range of Wi-Fi-compliant devices, including PDAs and Intel Centrino-enabled laptops.
Fortunately for U.S. government agencies, the restrictive days of expensive, specially built, proprietary wireless equipment are over. Thanks to Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 8100.2, they can now choose from a variety of standards-based, competitively priced, commercial products. However, agencies are required to incorporate strict security measures that protect the infrastructure and integrity of the information traveling their WLANs.
Business Benefits Fuel Demand for Wireless LANs
The enormous potential of wireless technology is proving to be one of the most powerful enterprise tools since the advent of the LAN. Significant benefits include:
- Increased productivity. No longer tied to the office cubicle, employees can work from anywhere and access network resources
- Unfettered communication. Co-workers can stay in contact even during meetings and meals during critical project times
- Greater mobility. Visitors can conveniently log on as guest users using security cards or through a simple admin request
- Deployment flexibility and cost savings. High-speed networks can be installed inexpensively and easily in large open areas, hard-to-wire older buildings and temporary installations
- New applications. The convenience and pervasiveness of WLANs spurs ideas for new applications and for new ways to use existing applications to trim operating expenses and increase efficiency. This translates to further cost reductions in productivity gains and more fully utilized network assets.
