AirMagnet Helps Prestigious School Ensure Wireless LAN Performance and Security

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
AirMagnet Inc., the leader in security, performance and compliance solutions for
wireless LANs, today announced that Lakefield College School is using the
award-winning AirMagnet Enterprise, and a suite of AirMagnet mobile analysis
tools, to plan, manage and secure wireless networks throughout the school`s
155-acre campus. The products allow school IT staff to plan wireless
deployments, evaluate and manage network performance, and ensure the security of
wireless networks.

Founded in 1879, Lakefield College School is a co-educational boarding school
and day school serving grades seven through 12 in Ontario, Canada. With nearly
500 wireless users across the heavily wooded campus, Lakefield maintains a
high-performing and reliable network for students and staff. The campus includes
more than 20 disparate buildings, 365 students and 120 faculty and staff.
Lakefield uses wireless access points that can support up to 500 users across a
range of approximately 120 to 150 feet.

"AirMagnet Enterprise enables us to monitor our network for outside intrusion
attempts and the attempts of our own students to use the network for purposes
that may result in negative consequences," said Jason Ayotte, wireless
administrator at Lakefield College School. "Lakefield has been the home to many
prominent and well-known students, and it is essential that their records - and
the personal information of all our students - are kept confidential and
protected. In the past year alone, there have been literally hundreds of data
breaches at educational institutions, including primary and secondary schools,
in which social security numbers, medical files and other confidential records
were leaked. We don`t want to become a statistic, and, as we transition to 11n
later this year, we`re confident AirMagnet will remain a key to our success."

AirMagnet Enterprise, the industry`s premier independent solution for continuous
wireless LAN security and management, provides Lakefield IT staff with
unfettered visibility over all wireless assets and quickly allows them to
prioritize events based on their impact on the network and organizational
policy. It detects and defends against the latest classes of wireless LAN
exploits, delivers the industry`s only forensic analysis for spectrum/RF threats
and introduces a complete threat intelligence system to classify and prioritize
all wireless events for simple management.

"The Lakefield campus presents unique challenges for wireless networking. Not
only do we deal with the typical problems that arise with hundreds of students
and staff accessing the network, but we also face the challenges of a heavily
wooded rural campus," Ayotte said. "When planning and managing our network, it
was essential we have tools in place to account for interferences from nature,
such as tree groves and water features. AirMagnet has allowed us to plan our
networks accordingly and continually monitor and manage them to ensure our
students and staff have continual and constant wireless access."

With AirMagnet Planner, Lakefield can use predictive mapping of Wi-Fi signal and
performance to ensure full coverage for students and staff. IT staff can easily
account for building materials, obstructions such as trees, access point
configurations, antenna patterns, and a host of other variables to ensure a
high-performance deployment. AirMagnet Survey enables the school to easily
collect live signal, packet and spectrum data during wireless site surveys - in
real-time. This allows IT staff to simulate and measure network performance in
the most scientific way possible and deliver the most accurate depiction of a
user`s experience in a real world scenario, resulting in better performing
wireless at the school.

AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer provides Lakefield with instant visibility into all
wireless channels, devices, conversations, speeds, interference issues and the
RF spectrum, making it the ideal product for pre- and post-deployment wireless
networks. The product addresses universal challenges associated with new
technologies - including 802.11n, which the school will upgrade to later this
year- and deployments and minimizes the impact on new or existing networks.

"Schools of all sizes are the ideal place for wireless networks, with mobile
students and staff always on the go. However, it is essential they are equipped
with the tools to manage the complexities of wireless LANs," said Chris Roeckl,
vice president of marketing at AirMagnet. "Not only can Lakefield offer students
the performance and availability of a well performing network, they can ensure
that the school is safe and secure from outside, or inside, attempts at
intrusion or breaches."
