Cheaper/better security for corporate WiFi?
If your eyes start glazing over when you read about securing your small company's wireless network with "802.1x" and "RADIUS" versus "WSA PSK", you're not alone. But there's hope for making security manageable by normal people, according to an article in Glenn Fleishmann's WiFi newsletter.
The solution is called LucidLink, and it comes from a company called Interlink. What they do is start with the highest-security option for a WiFi network and then write software that does what you need (like authorizing temporary employees) instead of forcing you to become a security consultant just to set up your network.
Their product is for Windows-only networks, at least for now. Their starting price is $449 to allow 10 simultaneous connections.
