Wireless provider lands Navy contract
Tampa Bay Business Journal - 10:59 AM EST Monday

Fortress Technologies has been awarded a contract by General Dynamics 
NASSCO to implement secure wireless communications for the U.S. Navy. 
The work will be on the next generation replenishment ships under the 
Navy's Dry Cargo/Ammunition Ship program.


This contract serves as one of the first major wireless awards since the 
Navy lifted its ban on wireless networking, a release said. No financial 
details of the contract were disclosed.


General Dynamics NASSCO, a unit of Falls Church, Va.-based General 
Dynamics (NYSE: GD), currently is under contract to the Naval Sea 
Systems Command to build eight T-AKE class ships. Each T-AKE ship is 689 
feet long and has a capacity for about 6,700 metric tons of dry cargo 
weight and nearly 2,400 metric tons of fuel.


The ships are designed to provide ammunition, food, fuel, repair parts 
and other necessities to ships at sea and to contribute to the Navy's 
ability to maintain a forward presence.


Fortress is providing a product that enables a secure wireless link 
between the Navy's warehouse management system and the end users.


Securing more than 12,000 wireless government networks, Tampa-based 
Fortress specializes in deployable networking, mobile edge applications, 
fixed wireless and office wireless LANs, it said in the release.

LOL!

Good for the cops.

I just signed up a customer last week, a convert from a different system.
He had a 24 db grid, using a 1 watt powered over coax amp connected at the
antenna, and a linksys WET-11 attached to that through about 30 feet of
LMR-400.   Said it was unstable that way, which is why he switched...
That calculates to a theoretical 250 WATTS EIRP.  He was about 3-4 miles
from the access point, with a single tree in his backyard blocking the path.
I have customers at his distance using a VAGI and 16 dbm radio  Which is
like... 8 - 9 miles..   He had asked if I'd hook him up using his
equipment... Seemed quite disappointed I switched him out and made him buy
mine...

I was recently asked by a couple of wireless consultants about a poorly
working setup they had.  It seems they have an omni on a tall downtown
rooftop.  It's a 9 or 11 db omni with a .5 W amp attached.  Just .7 miles
away, in direct line of sight, is one of their homes, which has a 24 db
grid pointed right at the omni, and the connection, they said, was up and
down.  They wanted to know if an amp would improve the throughput, which
was apparently quite... erratic.

After a lot of discussion, they finally told me that a competitor has
another omni IN LINE between them and the home and that they thought it was
a 15 db omni with a 1 watt amp.

I think I finally convinced them that they were signal overloaded, and that
changing out the client end for...say.. 9 to 12 db gain antenna would
probably help solve the issue...  They still seemed taken aback at the
notion that they needed less signal, they had assumed that a bi-directional
amp was the key...

I wondered why everytime I tell someone in that town I provide wireless
broadband, they ask how soon I'm moving in...

 Only one warning in that advice.  If the FCC takes any interest which they
ususally don't (think CB) the first one they will require testing on is you.
We had a person running 40 watts and a quick call around found that the FCC
likes to make sure the complaintant is also above board.  We've been
beseiged with competitors who take the philosophy that causing us
interference is their business model.  I don't like them as much as any of
you but we just had a person in Spokane, WA who praised the police, whom
they called, for catching a burglar who was in their house.  This was said
as they were being hauled off to jail for a pot growing operation in the
house that was being burglarized.  They called Police then they went to
jail.  Just remember the law is looking for all abusers not just the one you
want them to take out.

 Me?  I'd make a few calls about it.

 First to them.  It's amazing how often management doesn't know the rules.

 If that won't fix it, I'd call Motorola.

 If that doesn't work, I'd call the FCC.

 The last thing this industry needs is people screwing with the one thing
 that the FCC has been a stickler on.  EIRP is a sacred stone.  Mess with
it
 and someone at the commission will be getting pissed.

 Make DAMN sure you know what they are doing and with what frequencies
first
 though.  Nothing worse than making that kind of false accusation.

 And sometimes having someone else call the company and ask around is a
good
 idea.  If you can get me a name and number I'd be happy to make a call for
 you.  As would, I'm sure, anyone on the wispa board.

 Good luck.

[WISPA] Fingerprint Wi-Fi Security Continues to Grow for Broadband Wireless Networks

2006-11-28 Thread Dawn DiPietro

Fingerprint Wi-Fi Security Continues to Grow for Broadband Wireless Networks

11/28/06 - silex technology america, Inc. announced a partnership with 
Bountiful WiFi to provide the most reliable fingerprint-based access 
control system for WiFi local area networks (WLANs) on the market by 
bundling silex's SX-650 NetGuard WiFi network access control device and 
the S1 biometric fingerprint reader with the Bountiful Router.


Reliability is a concern when working with biometrics. If a user has 
unusually wet or dry hands it can affect the sensors ability to get an 
accurate reading. Other factors such as electrostatic discharge, cuts or 
narrow fingerprint ridges and valleys can cause inaccuracies in many 
biometric fingerprint readers. The S1 uses radio frequency (RF) 
technology to scan the inner layer of the skin allowing the sensor to 
more accurately capture minutiae data points and providing the 
reliability desired when protecting confidential information over a 
wireless network connection.


In today's workforce, mobility is a tremendous asset that allows 
workers the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere at any time, 
said Gary Bradt, silex vice president, biometrics division. However, 
even with the constant invention and upgrade of WiFi network security, 
overall public and corporate paranoia about security threats continues 
to build. By bundling the SX-650 NetGuard with the S1 fingerprint reader 
and the Bountiful Router silex and Bountiful WiFi provide IT executives 
with the most reliable WiFi security solution on the market today.


While there is no doubt that dependence upon WiFi and mobile devices 
will continue to grow, the continued security threats and actual 
breaches can give cause to worry whether a laptop or PDA is really 
secure from hackers in a home WiFi network, corporate or public hotspot.


Security problems commonly associated with WiFi networks are the ability 
of unauthorized users to see data as it is being sent or received to and 
from a wireless network and unauthorized users being able to connect to 
a network and use it for unauthorized or illegal activities.


The Bountiful Router was developed in response to businesses' demand for 
a constant, abundant and reliable wireless signal. It offers the 
unprecedented differentiation in a wireless network by expanding the 
footprint or coverage area by two to four times those of other solutions 
in the industry.


The Bountiful Router is the most powerful wireless Internet router 
allowed under FCC regulations, said David Egbert, President and CEO of 
Bountiful WiFi. By combining a reliable wireless signal with a reliable 
security solution like the SX-650 NetGuard users can now have peace of 
mind that they can enjoy a constant and abundant wireless signal over a 
secure network.


By combining the latest WiFi security and biometric identity 
verification technologies, SX-650 NetGuard provides a finishing layer to 
any WiFi network's security strategy. A fully-contained authentication 
device, SX-650 NetGuard conforms to the latest WiFi security standards 
of WPA/WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access), RADIUS (Remote Authentication 
Dial-In User Service) and PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication 
Protocol) and works with the latest off-the-shelf access points and 
network adapter cards.


SX-650 NetGuard

The SX-650 NetGuard provides effective access control for WiFi LANs. By 
combining the latest WiFi security and biometric identity verification 
technologies, the SX-650 NetGuard provides a fully contained network 
authentication device that works with any WPA-compliant access point. 
802.11a/b/g and 802.11i compliant Works with the latest off-the-shelf 
access points and network adapter cards Conforms to WiFi security 
standards, WPA/WPA 2.0, RADIUS and PEAP Fully contained authentication 
device DSP-based


S1 Fingerprint Reader

The S1 is a USB-interface fingerprint reader that uses radio frequency 
technology to read below the surface layer of skin to the corium or the 
inner layer of the fingerprint so that surface abnormalities don't 
affect the scan. A key feature of the S1 is its ability to track the 
rate at which a finger crosses the sensor which further enhances the 
fingerprint reader's ability to provide a much more accurate reading. 
Resolution of 508dpi High speed 2.0 USB device Compact, simple, portable 
and comes with a replaceable mini USB cable. Supports Win XP/2K. Full 
feature SX-Biometrics Suite software High performance minutiae matching 
algorithm.


Bountiful Router

The Bountiful Router reduces contention in the network, lessens packet 
loss and has huge ears that allow it to easily hear the clients. The 
router extends existing networks at a fraction of wired network costs, 
providing an economical, FCC Certified solution to businesses of all 
sizes. Simultaneously supports 802.11b+g Rich advanced WLAN security

Re: [WISPA] Wireless Security biting you in the ass?

2006-11-28 Thread Mark Koskenmaki
One of my clients is a maker of prosthetic limbs... and he has two offices.

He is covered by HIPAA considerations, so we spent considerable time trying
to figure this out, using the information supplied to him, concerning HIPAA,
from the feds and by trade organizations.

We eventually came to the conclusion that he must encrypt any data leaving
his network, or going over wireless, and that he must password his
computers.  At first, they were going to build a VPN between his two
facilities, now they're re-thinking it and probably going to use an
application service provider to meet thier data sharing needs (mostly
scheduling, and some patient data) since they didn't want to pay someone to,
or build thier own in-house client-server system for cooperative scheduling.
They have 3 machines in the local office, which are 2 wired and 1 wireless,
and his wireless is encrypted, the machines are behind locked doors, and
require passwords to start up.

Again, as the provider of data transport, that data MUST be encrypted before
it reaches you, in order to be compliant, period.   Unless you're getting
involved in helping them with thier internal network, or IT system, HIPAA
considerations have no impact on your network, how its run, or how secure
or insecure you are, because it must be encrypted before it reaches ANY
point accessible by non-approved personell.   This means their internal
network must be secure, machine physical security to prevent unauthorized
access, etc.   We came to this conclusion while doing a read through his
info, and he understood it perfectly.   Emailed patient data must be
encrypted using something like a passworded zip file, or using an industry
standard encrypt / decrypt method using keys.   Client-server applications
must use an SSL tunnel or session to be compliant ( like https when using
web based ) even on an intranet, much less internet based.  Any data leaving
any physically secure location (like access from a nurses station to patient
records database, where the database server is in a locked room and the
nurses station is not) must be encrypted, and must require login
user/password, and users must log out when not in physical control of the
workstation, for instance.   If the ethernet network can be plugged into in
ANY phsycially insecure location, then all data on that network must be
encrypted either by encrypting the data stream, or by the applications that
move the data.

There are no specific technological requirements for HIPAA compliance...
Instead, there's a set of specific standards that start with keeping the
machines physically safe from non-approved personell, and it goes from
there.   It's not bank or pentagon type security, but it does require
thinking through the whole system end-to-end to be compliant.  Again, none
of this has any impact on you, as a transport provider, since everyting MUST
be encrypted long before it reaches your network or it's out of compliance
anyway.

Re: [WISPA] Wireless Security biting you in the ass?

2006-11-28 Thread Carl A Jeptha

John,
Ask them to supply you with the HIPPA compliance list point-by-point.
Then you show how you can comply when it is your responsibility and also 
point out where they are responsible for security.
Then summarise this and they will see that they are more responsible for 
this HIPPA thing than you or any other carrier is. Because as has been 
pointed out before, if the data is encrypted when it leaves the 
terminal, the rest doesn't really matter. Point out also that this way 
they are free to change their providers anytime they want to, because 
they are in control of their security not an outsider.

Right now perception of the hospital corporate officers is that

that they are not allowed to buy from me or any wireless operator due 
to security issues. I believe it will require some type of HIPAA seal 
of approval from some source or another before we can start selling

Re: [WISPA] Wireless Security biting you in the ass?

2006-11-28 Thread Tom DeReggi
Also note: the Wireless in not secure perception is not just about Hippa, 
but also Homeland security, or any government job, or any industry that 
deals with end user information such as finance industry.


One of the best example I saw where a compnay beat the perception is 
Allconet (Connx), where their design boasted top security and reliabilty 
using Alvarion as their transport medium. But the reliabilty of their 
network was not jsut about wireless, it was the whole solution, the quality 
of their data cewnter, cell tower cabins, Use of license where appropriate, 
and Layer2 VCs linked to VLANs. Maybe this was easier for them as it was a 
network built for the government initially.


I guess what I'm saying is that  Wireless in not secure  is not only a 
perception of wireless, but a perception of the wireless provider.  People 
are surprised when they hear WISPs doing  carrier class offerings.


I think announcements like ATT is doing Wireless, will actually help us more 
than harm us (via competition), just because  it starts to validate the 
industry by companies that ahve tons of highly qualified respected 
engineers.  And we can say they are copying us :-)

Back to your problem:  Wireless = Unsecure.

You have a Marketing problem.
The onus is on you to get him to tell you why your network is unsecure.
Objections are made to be hurdled, after all.

Explaining that cable and DSL are LAN based topologies is not going to 
help you.


You need describe how your Alvarian Fixed Wireless network is capable of 
providing fiber like capabilities in the private transport arena. (Maybe 
get some help from your Alvarian Support Engineer).

Good insight, I did not catch what you meant at first.

I agree that the ultimate goal is to find a way not to interfer, and I'd 
rather them be illegal and be off my spectrum.

Unlicensed 5.8G belongs to me, right :-)
Also Stategically, the fact that they are illegal, and you aren't, and you 
know about it, can work to the legal party's advantage at a later time in 
negotiating co-existence.  The card doesn't have to be played, while/if

Then you show how you can comply when it is your responsibility and also 
point out where they are responsible for security.
Then summarise this and they will see that they are more responsible for 
this HIPPA thing than you or any other carrier is. Because as has been 
pointed out before, if the data is encrypted when it leaves the terminal, 
the rest doesn't really matter. Point out also that this way they are 
free to change their providers anytime they want to, because they are in 
control of their security not an outsider.


You have a Good Day now,


Carl A Jeptha

Why don't you order service installed at your house from them? Then you'd 
know exactly what they are doing.

Hey guys / gals, in my attempt to offload some
of my spare equipment, I've got a few Canopy 900
Advantage CPEs and APs laying around that are
barely used.

I'll let the APs go for $1,250 each, and the SMs
for $250 each. We'll add shipping later, and
they're all connectorized with standard Mot P/S.

I can get 'em out this week.

I thought I would share this photo of the WISPA Board. It was taken at
ISPCON earlier this month. If I am not mistaken this is the most board
members ever assembled in person at any one place.

Why not post it to your picture gallery?  I believe the ability to 
send attachments to the list have been removed.
