LAS VEGAS -- Wireless LAN vendors unveiled an array of software improvements to their core systems software at this week’s Interop Las Vegas trade show.
Several of the improvements are around location-tracking technologies. In general, the new software reflects the intent to make WLAN a more integral part of the corporate network infrastructures, and to make it a foundation for new network-based services, such as locating and tracking assets, wireless VoIP, and bridging between wireless VoIP and cellular networks.
Among the announcements:
• Aruba has released new code for its mobile access point, adding a built-in firewall and split tunneling to route data traffic locally to other wireless clients.
• Bluesocket’s new software image for its controller family creates for the first time a consistent software platform for that product line.
• Cisco adds code and a new application that make it possible for network administrators to manage groups of wireless controllers in very large enterprise WLANs.
• Meru, Siemens and Motorola have added software-based location tracking capabilities to their WLANs; while WhereNet released a new wireless tracking tag that can use two wireless technologies: 802.11 (Wi-Fi) or ISO 24730 RFID.
• NextHop Technologies has released a version of its Wi-Fi software (for controllers and access points) that makers of PBXs, wireless routers, and other network gear can use to add 802.11 data and control capabilities to “anything with a CPU and memory.”
Aruba announced its Mobile Access Point (MAP) last year as a portable access point that could be used from a hotel, coffee shop or home network to create an encrypted tunnel back to the corporate LAN. The new software adds to the MAP: 1) a stateful firewall, that can enforce corporate authentication and network access control policies for the remote user. It can also perform what Aruba calls “split tunneling” that switches traffic to a local wireless printer or another laptop without going through a central Aruba controller. The MAP software ships in July.
