Overview

Seamless and Simple Communication

With Sygate Wireless Network, Sygate Technologies has continued its tradition of developing cutting-edge software that enables greater mobility and productivity by enabling secure and seamless communication with the Internet and other networked computers in your WLAN environment. Sygate Wireless Network has dramatically simplified deployment of 802.11b WLAN solutions and enabled roaming with automated access point detection and configuration.

No other product available in the marketplace offers complete seamless connectivity between different WLAN environments.  The ability to locate and connect to different access points and automatically configure the TCP/IP settings, in conjunction with the ease of installation and configuration, set Sygate Wireless Network apart.  Sygate's patented automated access point selection is unique in the market and separates Sygate Wireless Network from the competition.  Enterprise, business, and consumer wireless LAN users that use an Intersil® chipset-based 802.11b WLAN card will all benefit from Sygate Wireless Network functionality.



Roam Freely in Wireless Network Environments

Current wireless LAN environments operate somewhat independently, each with its own configuration.  Although the IEEE802.11b standard allows for roaming between Access Points, the standard does not address the complexities of the wired infrastructure. Sygate Wireless Network bridges the gap between wireless roaming and wired network diversity.  The Sygate Wireless Network permits users to travel between and amongst different wireless environments--without the traditionally complex configuration that is required each time the user moves between network environments.

Simplify Wireless Set-up and Configuration

Wireless LAN deployment with Sygate Wireless Network saves time and money.  During installation, the wireless configuration and TCP/IP settings are automatically set.  In addition, connectivity can be established in Infrastructure and Ad Hoc mode; as well as DHCP and Static IP network environments.  These features save IT administration time and reduce application maintenance support costs.

Dynamically Discover and Switch Access Points

As laptops and other wireless devices become less expensive and more available, they are increasingly utilized in varying business applications. Businesses are now depending on these devices to facilitate communication and increase productivity.  Using notebooks and hand-held devices allow employees to be mobile and more productive.  In the past, mobility between both wired and wireless networks has been constrained by the complexities of subnet-dependent network configurations. Sygate Wireless Network facilitates mobility and productivity by allowing users to easily discover Access Points and establish a wireless network connection.

 

Features/Benefits:

  • Simple, Convenient Installation -- Sygate Wireless Network provides default setting selection during installation.  When combined with clean install and uninstall processes with minimal reboot and silent option, deploying a wireless LAN becomes routine.
  • Automatic Network Discovery -- By automatically scanning, Sygate Wireless Network discovers all wireless networks within range of the laptop.
  • Dynamic Access Point Switching -- Dynamically or manually switch to any Access Point that has been set up in a user's profile.  At the same time, let Sygate Wireless Network dynamically change the wireless configuration and TCP/IP settings without rebooting.
  • DHCP and Static IP Network Support -- Sygate Wireless Network supports quick, seamless switching between DHCP and Static IP networks without user intervention.
  • Infrastructure and Ad Hoc Configuration Support -- Sygate Wireless Network will support dynamic switching between Infrastructure and Ad Hoc wireless environments.
  • Wireless Diagnosis -- The software will enable users to determine when there are problems or inconsistencies with the current networking parameters.
  • Selective Access -- New Internet applications, such as games, require communication between the Internet and your network. In other words, traffic not normally allowed, must pass through the firewall. Sygate Home Network offers an "AppRule" feature that permits specified software to pass certain traffic to designated computers behind the Sygate Home Network firewall.

  • Increased Productivity - Your 802.11b WLAN users will be more productive with Sygate Wireless Network as they are able to roam freely in multiple work environments and at home while staying connected.

  • Decrease Deployment Costs - Sygate Wireless Network cuts down on management of 802.11b WLANs with auto-configuration of required parameters and auto-access point scanning.
  • Simplify Configuration - Sygate Wireless Network sets the required parameters during installation and lets users select from the available Access Points.
  • Secure Your Network - Secure your WLAN with built-in wired equivalent privacy (WEP) communication between your laptops and access point.

 

Business Cases:

Seamless Connectivity at Work and Home

In today’s demanding and flexible work environment, laptop connectivity is essential at work and at home. Sygate Wireless Network enables professionals to easily stay connected in both locations.  Sygate Wireless Network allows professionals to move between an enterprise and home network without reconfiguring the network settings or rebooting.  Sygate Wireless Network automatically recognizes and connects to the correct wireless access point at home or at work.

Roam Freely in the Enterprise

In traditional WLAN enterprise environments, professionals are limited to their immediate work area because both wireless settings and TCP/IP changes are required to maintain connectivity.  Using Sygate Wireless Network, professionals can move between floors and buildings on campus, automatically scan for a local Access Point, and re-connect to the enterprise network.
