SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
AirMagnet Inc., the leader in security, performance and compliance solutions for
wireless LANs (WLANs), today announced that the U.S. Senate is using the
company`s award-winning AirMagnet Survey PRO and AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer PRO for
the ability to secure and manage the wireless networks in the Senate`s private
chamber area. 

"Any time you provide a technology solution to the U.S Government, it undergoes
the highest levels of scrutiny. All of our products are designed to deliver
maximum performance and help ensure network security and compliance," said Chris
Roeckl, vice president of marketing at AirMagnet. "AirMagnet`s products give
those managing the Senate`s wireless infrastructure instant visibility into the
state of these private chamber networks, so they can troubleshoot to maintain
security, performance and compliance. In addition, our products include support
for 802.11n, so the U.S. Senate can easily transition to the new standard in the
future." 

AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer PRO gives the Senate a tool that can perform regular
security sweeps of its wireless networks, identifying and locating any
unauthorized devices that may pose a risk to the overall security of the
network. In addition, the product helps monitor the overall health of the
network, allowing administrators to instantly scan device inventory, identify
interference, and remediate any performance issues quickly. Furthermore, it
offers built-in guidance to help solve common Wi-Fi issues (and the AirMagnet
Learning Assistant), the ability to lock down security policies, live
interactive network testing, detailed packet and frame analysis, model and
optimization of 11n networks, continual interference analysis, Wi-Fi reporting
and much more. 

AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer is also equipped with a variety of compliance tools (to
address the latest standard such as FISMA, HIPAA, PCI and more) that help
customers meet regulatory requirements. Users can choose from a set of built-in
policies for any regulatory standard. Once policies are set, the system will
automatically monitor the wireless LAN and generate alarms when it detects any
events or devices that are out of compliance. 

AirMagnet Survey PRO allows the U.S. Senate to accurately design and deploy a
wireless LAN optimized for performance, security and compliance. The solution
collects live signal, packet and spectrum data during site surveys, enabling IT
professionals to simulate and measure network performance in the most scientific
way possible - with the most accurate depiction of a real-world user experience,
which ultimately results in a better performing network for the Senate.
