Network Products Guide


Performance Throughput: AirMagnet Sensors are passive wireless scanners and as such are not in-line with traffic and don’t apply to traditional throughput measurements. However, sensors are designed to generate the least amount of traffic from the sensor, therefore preserving WAN bandwidth. Typical bandwidth consumption is around 4 kbps.

Interfaces: The AirMagnet Sensor includes a multi-band 802.11a/b/g wireless interface, an optional spectrum analysis interface, and a standard Ethernet 10/100 base-T port (802.3af compliant).

Key Features and Benefits: AirMagnet Enterprise detects and defends against the latest classes of wireless LAN exploits, delivers the industry’s only forensic analysis for spectrum/RF threats and introduces a complete threat intelligence system to classify and prioritize all wireless events for simple management. AME provides organizations with unfettered visibility over all wireless assets and quickly allows staff to prioritize events based on their impact to the network and enterprise policy. AirMagnet Enterprise also delivers multi-dimensional, proactive WLAN defense, automatically tracing and classifying all wireless devices and suppressing both wireless and wire-side threats.
