BURLINGTON, Mass. - February 14, 2006 - Bluesocket,
Inc., (www.bluesocket.com)
the leader in open wireless security and management solutions, today
announced that it has partnered with RealNet Solutions, Inc., to
bring to market the BlueSecure Access Point model 1500 and 1540.
RealNet Solutions, an embedded software and development company,
specializes in wireless access point software and management.
The product enables companies to design robust wireless networks
with the capacity, reliability and performance required to run the
most demanding applications.
"RealNet has been a critical partner in the success of the
Bluesocket Access Point program," said Jim Finucane, Sr VP
of Engineering at Bluesocket. "Working with the team at RealNet
has allowed us to achieve a WiFi Alliance Certified Access Point
in record time."
Bluesocket is leveraging the development efforts of RealNet as well
as their breakthrough Virtual Access Point technology. This technology
allows for the automatic assignment of SSIDs for each virtual AP,
unique VLAN assignment for each virtual AP and isolation of unicast
and multicast within a virtual AP domain. Additionally, Bluesocket's
existing strength in role policy enforcement can be applied to unique
encryption and authentication settings in each virtual AP.
A core strength of the BlueSecure Access Point is ease of use through
Bluesocket's Zero-Config technology, which reduces the time and
complexity to installation and maintenance, and reduces the likelihood
of configuration errors. The BlueSecure Access Point 1500 allows
administrators to simply plug in the AP and not worry about configuration,
individual firmware updates and having to re-configure their existing
wired infrastructure with wireless VLANs or special routing. BlueSecure
Access Points will automatically locate a BlueSecure Controller,
update their configuration/firmware and tunnel all their traffic
over existing infrastructure without changes.
"Combining the wireless and embedded development expertise
of RealNet with the WLAN security and management knowledge of Bluesocket
has created a strong solution for the market," said Uma Gopalan,
CEO of RealNet Solutions, Inc. "We are pleased to be a core
component of the BlueSecure Wireless network and a part of Bluesocket's
emergence as a complete WLAN solutions provider."
