Symbol Wireless LAN Security Solutions for U.S. Government Applications

Overview Wireless LANs (Local Area Networks) are now in use in almost every application currently available on hard-wired LANs. But the adoption of wireless LANs, especially in government locations, has been slowed due to security concerns. Security is one of the most significant, but also least understood elements of data communications and information technology. Securing sensitive information and preventing unauthorized access to networks is a vital function in wireless network administration. This white paper provides a security solution which stresses simplicity and ease of implementation with no compromise in mission or effectiveness.
