Name:	KoolSpan Secure WiFi Solution
Product URL:	http://www.koolspan.com/enterprise_solutions/secure_wifi.htm
Description:	KoolSpan delivers strong WiFi security inside and outside the enterprise in a remarkably easy-to-use solution. Until now, WiFi security has been more complex than it needs to be, forcing enterprises into expensive and complex solutions. The 802.11 security standard offers limited, hardware-dependent security inside the enterprise and virtually no protection in public hotspots where WiFi-equipped employees often connect. Consequently, organization-wide security is often reduced to the lowest common denominator, and is only as strong as the weakest WiFi link. KoolSpan can safeguard both an organization’s internal WiFi network and all public WiFi communications, whether the user is connecting from the office or the field. This revolutionary solution is based on trusted crypto hardware contained within the KoolSpan Lock and Key, which together deliver secure communications. Simply plug in a KoolSpan Key, enter a user-defined PIN, and a secure connection is established. The connection process is identical whether initiated from an employee’s desk, a hotel, a client site, an airport, or any public hotspot. Your Existing WiFi Equipment Instantly Secured KoolSpan works seamlessly with any existing infrastructure, is network agnostic, and can be deployed in minutes. KoolSpan operates independently of the WiFi access points (APs) and network interface cards (NICs) in current or future deployments. By abstracting the authentication and security from the WiFi gear itself, KoolSpan enables all users to run per-packet 256-bit AES encryption, even on deployed fleets of laptops with legacy WEP air network security. As new APs and NICs are added to the network, enterprises will continue to benefit from the same award-winning AES, Layer 2 security. The Layer 2 approach provides transparent security to all protocols, networks and applications. In addition, KoolSpan supports existing 802.11a/b/g implementations, and will work with all future implementations (802.11n/WiMax) as well. Key Features Works on any network Secure remote and local connectivity at Layer 2 Award-winning 256-bit encryption Mutual authentication Two-factor authentication Identification by user, not device No VPN client required Layer 2 protection 256-Bit AES encryption Internal security beyond the network perimeter Proven Smart Card-based solution
