Guest Wireless (Wireless NAC)

Wireless LANs provide convenient access to the Internet and network resources throughout the workplace or campus environment. WiFi networks make it easy for Guests and Non-employees to access Internet resources or reach their home offices through VPN. However, the convenience of offering WiFi access often comes with a price:

IT Overhead to Provision Connections
Separate "Guest" Infrastructure
Constant ACL Adjustments
Weak Encryption for Easier Deployment
No Isolation of Internal Resources

WiFi access should not compromise your network's security, overburden your IT staff or increase your costs.

Wireless NAC

With the Guest Wifi access control, powered by the Edge7200i platform, you can still enjoy the convenience of offering Wireless Access, but with the comfort and confidence that the network remains secure. The Edge7200i technology acts as a wireless nac and allows you to implement granular, identity-based access control to secure your wireless networks for all types of users - Employees, Guests, Contractors. Control features include:

Admission control for all users onto the Wireless LAN
Differentiate network access between Guests, Employees & Contractors
Enforce access control based on the user's credentials, time of day and location
Provide differentiated access over common infrastructure (shared SSID)
Seamless integration with existing authentication services
Provide a captive portal to interact with users
Track all user activity on the network
Control the visibility to networks, servers or applications to all Wireless LAN users

Regardless of your wireless deployment, the Edge7200i used as your wireless nac can seamlessly integrate into your Wireless LAN and start enforcing access control with minimal impact to your users or your IT staff.

The Edge Series can be used in many different scenarios depending on your needs. However, you can be confident of one thing - the Edge platform will provide you the comfort and control to ensure that the Network and Critical Resources remain Operational and Secure.
