Sygate®
Wireless Network™
Travel
between Wireless Network Environments with Seamless Connectivity
and Automated Configuration
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:

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

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.
