Wi-Fi Array
8 Introduction
The latest and most effective wireless encryption security standards, including
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 with 802.11i AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) are provided with the Wi-Fi Array. In addition, the use of
an embedded RADIUS server (or 802.1x with an external RADIUS server) ensures
user authentication—multiple Arrays can authenticate to the optional XMS,
ensuring only authorized Arrays become part of the wireless network. Rogue AP
detection, site monitoring, and RF spectrum analysis are performed in the
background by the Array automatically.
