Secure Management Interfaces to Protect Hot Spot Service
The Challenge
From mischief-makers and petty theft to serious political activism, the
Internet represents an opportunity for illegal activities of many kinds.
The past decade has seen online credit card fraud, unpaid service “hitchhiking,”
rapidly evolving email worms, and full-scale denial-of-service attacks
on major corporations. Without robust security measures, public wireless
technology makes the Internet accessible to criminal invasion from outside
locked doors. Consumer access points found in the home are not equipped
to handle professional hacking attempts to which public networks are susceptible.
They are optimized for easy access rather than careful service protection
and billing integration.
The Solution
Proxim access points are designed with security measures to protect
Wi-Fi service in the most publicly accessible locations in the world.
Proxim’s ORiNOCO AP-2500 integrates an access gateway which allows
only authorized, paying users to gain access to public Internet service.
Secure management interfaces on Proxim access points minimize the risk
of hackers accessing and altering the device settings. Rogue access
point detection proactively helps administrators find hackers that may
attempt to snag unsuspecting subscribers or flood the airwaves and create
a denial-of-service-attack. Proxim simultaneously supports multiple
security methods to prevent unauthorized access, ensuring that network
service is uninterrupted.
