Wireless Networks
We’ll design a secure Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) that will provide Internet access for your staff who require access to network resources and the Internet for browsing or email. WLANs are a convenient way to allow access from locations where there is wireless coverage, providing mobility within your organization that isn’t always available with a wired Local Area Network (LAN). Because wiring costs are reduced significantly, Wireless Networks can be a cost-effective solution for rapidly expanding your network.
Some of the steps we’ll take to secure your WLAN are:
- Use the strongest encryption available, WPA v2, to encrypt your connection session.
- Implement SSID hiding so that your WLAN ID is not broadcast.
- MAC ID filtering so that only known, pre-approved devices can connect to your WLAN.
We can also configure a guest WLAN in a DMZ, to allow guest access for partners or clients to the Internet for browsing and email without compromising your network security.
