Newbury Networks' WiFi Workplace Named Best of Show at Wi-Fi
Planet Spring Conference and Expo
Location-Based Management and Security Solution Selected for its Breakthrough
Approach to Optimizing 802.11 Networks
BOSTON, June 15 /PRNewswire/ --
Newbury Networks Inc.,
(http://www.newburynetworks.com/) the industry's first and only provider of
location-based management and security solutions for wireless networks, today
announced that its WiFi Workplace(TM) was named Best of Show at the recent Wi-
Fi Planet Conference & Expo in Baltimore, MD. WiFi Workplace was chosen for
its technical achievement in the Enterprise Security and Management category
over a number of other 802.11-based WLAN management and security products.
WiFi Workplace is an enterprise software system for both management and
security of 802.11-based WLANs. By utilizing Newbury's patented location-
based detection and tracking for 802.11, WiFi Workplace optimizes overall
network performance by identifying where WLAN activity is occurring and
analyzing the quality and type of network associations being established
enterprise wide.
"WiFi Workplace contains all the features of Newbury's WiFi Watchdog but adds
on network management features such as VLAN tagging and a 'weather map' of what
client has associated with what access point," said Eric Griffith, managing
editor, Wi-Fi Planet.com. "When matched up with policy enforcement based on
the location of the client, you're looking at the first major product to bring
effective location-awareness into corporate WLANs."
WiFi Workplace leverages the security capabilities found in Newbury's
award-winning WiFi Watchdog(TM) product (named Best of Show at Wi-Fi Planet
Fall 2003) and works in conjunction with industry standard switches and access
points, such as those provided by Cisco and Proxim, leveraging and enhancing
the enterprises' existing investment in WLAN infrastructure.
"This back-to-back award demonstrates the importance of location for managing
and securing wireless LANs," said Michael Maggio, president and CEO, Newbury
Networks. "WiFi Workplace will make a significant performance and security
impact on the enterprise wireless network with its patented location- based
usage and authorization policy capabilities."
WiFi Workplace was announced last week at the Wi-Fi Planet Spring Conference &
Expo.
