and Manageable in United Kingdom through WiFi Manager
Pleasanton, California, February 9, 2005
AdventNet, Inc., a leading provider of affordable
network and systems management software for enterprises, equipment
vendors, and service providers, today announced that it has selected
Networks Unlimited as the authorized reseller of ManageEngine™
WiFi Manager software in UK. The solution enables IT teams to offer
the benefits of Wi-Fi technology to mobile users, while minimizing
the associated security risks and administrative workloads. WiFi
Manager is available immediately to customers in the United Kingdom
through Networks Unlimited.
WiFi Manager is a combined WLAN security and management
software for 802.11 a/b/g networks. It enables WLAN administrators
in large corporations, educational institutions, hospitals, and
WISPs to seamlessly secure, configure, and monitor their wireless
networks, while significantly reducing the costs associated with
those tasks. WiFi Manager supports wireless LAN hardware from most
leading vendors, including Cisco, Proxim, Symbol, 3Com, Avaya, HP,
Dell, and more. The software presents a Web-based view of all wireless
networks, access points available inside each network, status of
those access points, the channel at which they operate, mobile clients
connected to them and their signal strength/ noise values, and association
history. It also helps to configure/ upgrade firmware of access
points. When integrated with RF sensors, WiFi Manager becomes a
full-fledged wireless IDS system detecting more than 40 unique security
threats including: rogue APs, intrusions, denial-of-service attacks,
and vulnerabilities.
"I firmly believe that the AdventNet ManageEngine™
suite is precisely what the market needs at this time. It addresses
key business issues faced by small and medium-sized enterprises
(SME's) in managing their IT infrastructures, at a compelling price,"
