Today's WLAN security market is filled with stopgap solutions while vendors wait for finalization of standards that include specifications for roaming, load balancing, management frame encryption, and management.

Top considerations when evaluating security strength of WLAN equipment vendors are:
  • Network resilience
  • Rapid hand-offs for roaming clients
  • Quality of services mechanisms
  • Two-way authentication vs Medium Access Control (MAC) authentication
  • Firewall functionality
  • WIDPS to protect against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and more
This report provides in-depth discussion around these security issues, and ranks vendor solutions based on their ability to deliver on the requirements.
