Sentinel 1000 Wireless Sensor Sentinel 1000 Wireless Sensor

The Highwall Sentinel 1000 is a wireless sensor that monitors the airwaves for all WiFi activity, capturing key information on every device that connects, receives or transmits wireless data in the covered environment. Available in both a high-range (Model 1000) and low range (Model 500) architecture, the Highwall Sentinel appliance can easily scale to identify rogue access points and unauthorized wireless clients throughout your entire building or campus setting.

The Highwall Sentinel provides continuous surveillance of the entire environment, immediately alerting the network administrator of any new device that creates a threat or vulnerability to the network as well as key performance data important to managing authorized wireless networks.

Security

Left unprotected, wireless LANs (WLANs) make easy targets for malicious intruders ­ those seeking access to search, steal, or destroy. Some simply want a free ride on the Internet, but others want to take data or vandalize your network. So how do you keep your vital networked assets protected from airborne attacks?

The first step is to implement “best practices” for safe-guarding your WLAN. You also need to monitor and identify potential WLAN weaknesses that leave you open to intrusion. Even if you haven’t deployed a WLAN, you still need to monitor your wired network for unauthorized, rogue wireless use.

Performance

The ability to monitor airwaves allows administrators to troubleshoot performance issues and assure maximum performance of authorized wireless networks. Monitoring client connections, bandwidth and channel usage becomes valuable information during deployment and management of enterprise wireless networks.

Benefits

The Scout provides two key features required by enterprise deployments extended coverage and location. For corporations or government agencies that have multi-story buildings, the Highwall Scout reduces the number of sensors that need to be deployed in order to monitor 100% of every building effectively.
