Cipherium Launches a New Advanced Series Solution for Wireless Network Management and Deployment (Jan 16, 2006)

Easily Set Up a Secure and Hassle-Free Wireless Networking with ONE Single Point of Control

TAIPEI, Taiwan, January 16, 2006 - Cipherium Systems Co., Ltd. today announces a new generation of M-series Network Access Controllers , delivering scalable centralized management architecture and advanced wireless network management capabilities for Public Access and Guest Access, to fulfill demands of different levels of wireless deployments: from small-size businesses to large-scale wireless service operations.

Driven by market demand for robust wireless networking , the latest Cipherium wireless solution consists of a remote central Network Control System NCS20 and a line of Network Access Controllers ─ M6000, M5000, M3000 and M1000 ─ each one can work independently as well as cooperate with each other as "a team" to accommodate a variety of environments. The whole solution is designed to help customers build their wireless networks with high scalability, flexibility and manageability and, at the same time, easily gain full control of network users, services and devices. Furthermore, by adopting the latest wireless and security standards such as IEEE 802.1 b/g, WPA2, and IEEE 802.1x, the solution ensures privacy and security of end-to-end network communication.

PRODUCT BRIEFING
  M6000 M5000 M3000 M1000

Managed APs Up to 120 Up to 40 Up to 12 Up to 4

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS for customers include:

  • Centralized management and highly scalable deployment architecture simplifies network management and enables flexible deployment combinations; meanwhile, allows network administrator to rapidly integrate the WLAN into an existing wired infrastructure and remotely control the entire network from a single point.
  • User account roaming provides convenience and mobility for users to enjoy wireless networking services across different geographic locations with only one account. On the contrary, administrator can turn off the roaming function on request to limit the roaming service area.
  • Role-based and policy-based access control defines and enforces network usage policies, providing convenience for administrator to easily manage multiple user groups as well as every individual user to reduce complexity and cost of network administration.
  • Easy Guest Access allows companies or hotspot owners to fast generate guest accounts, facilitating their visitors or customers to grant secure, instant access to the Internet.
  • Unique network equipment management functions allow administrator to remotely configure, update, and monitor network devices including Network Access Controllers and Access Points (APs) from a unified secured Web interface. The solution presents the advantage of role-based policy management for APs, such as scheduled access time and bandwidth control, to allow efficient network resources allocation, eg. offering higher bandwidth for workplace and lower for public area to optimize network resources utilization.
  • Built-in accounting engine and billing profiles for on-demand accounts support different service levels based on time and volume for hotspot operation. By providing customizable login page, the solution enables end-user branding and value-added advertising services.
  • Regular monitoring and reporting not only blocks out unauthorized access of users or devices but also provides a trouble-free way for administrator to maintain the entire network, especially a large-scale network.

The most crucial benefit of this solution is the scalable and easy-to-use centralized management functionality. Cipherium's solution allows customers to start off establishing the WLAN with one Network Access Controller in a single location, and to easily scale up their network deployments when needed by combining with other Controllers to serve hundreds or thousands of users across multiple locations, while each Controller can function as an independent network manager or be managed by a central Network Control System NCS 20 for remotely and centrally managing a large-scale environment. This magnificently handy feature offers the best return on investment especially for those who are not ready for full wireless network rollout.
