WLAN monitoring

Communications News, April, 2004

The Firefly is an 802.11 Wi-Fi analyzer that helps IT managers maintain network throughput and security by recognizing and identifying abnormalities in 801.11 a/b and Bluetooth network traffic. The solution's software creates relational databases of information about a wireless network of remotely configurable Fireflies, with each containing up to 10 calibrated receiver modules. WLAN parameters collected include MAC, SSID, RSSI, PER and WEP, as well as failed authentication attempts and channel usage. Optional motorized direction-finding antenna rotate to scan all channels and/ or resets on one channel to remotely survey and protect a WLAN's perimeter. Database results are available remotely through the Internet.--Berkeley Varitronics Systems
