Newbury for the Corporate Enterprise
Capabilities stemming from wireless networks are changing how organizations think about communications as well as empowering new business processes based upon on-demand, location-based services.

First however corporations must master the new and unique challenges of WLAN security and management, and since you don't know where the users and devices are roaming, the biggest challenge is to precisely physically locate all wireless traffic and devices in and around your facilities.

Without location information, enterprise IT and network security professionals can know traffic bottlenecks and security breaches exist, but cannot real-time locate where they are occurring. In many ways they are working blind.

Newbury Networks provides solutions that 24x7 real-time precisely locates all wireless network traffic giving IT professionals "802.11 goggles" to see the wireless traffic flows they must manage and secure.

Enterprise-Class WLAN Security
For powerful enterprise-class security, simple "detection" is not enough - you need to real-time locate and track all wireless devices in your area.

Newbury Networks' corporate security solutions allow you to precisely physically locate the following:

WLAN rogues devices and APs 

• Any WLAN devices sending unencrypted traffic 
• Employees are operating in "ad-hoc mode" 
• Employees free-associating with neighboring WLAN APs 
• Neighboring employees and businesses associating with your WLAN APs

Additionally, Newbury Networks' corporate security solutions allow you to identify & deny the following:

• Man-in-the middle attacks 
• SLEAP / dictionary attacks 
• Connection hijacking & DoS attacks 
• MAC storms & MAC spoofs

And when any of these situations are identified Newbury's security solutions allow you to disconnect offenders.

Wireless LAN Management
As with wired networks, wireless networks require tools and techniques to optimize overall network performance. However, there are some critical differences. At the highest level, WLAN management capabilities must:

• Identify when and where WLAN activity is occurring and analyze the quality and type of network associations being established enterprise wide; 
• Seamlessly integrate with existing network infrastructure technologies; and 
• Enhance and facilitate the fundamental mobility that 802.11 wireless networks provide.

Newbury Networks provides Enterprises-Class WLAN management so you can:

• Real-time, 24x7 locate & track all 802.11 devices 
• Dynamically optimize WLAN performance 
• Dynamically tune AP coverage, capacity and throughput 
• Centrally define & control WLAN access policies, WLAN groups & sub-nets 
• Locate, diagnose & resolve end-user problems 
• Real-time locate all WLAN traffic in and around your facilities 
• Generate flexible RF maps and management reporting 
• Create actionable alerts & notifications 
• Enable location-based network provisioning

To be effective, wireless network management tools and techniques must track and monitor location-based traffic and policy information and control the locations where various wireless network services are accessible. Newbury Networks gives you this capability.
