*Malmö, Sweden and Montreal, Canada - October 27, 2014 - Anyfi Networks
and Inverse today announced that they have successfully interoperability
tested Anyfi's Software-Defined Wireless Networking (SWDN) Gateway with
PacketFence.*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PacketFence is a fully supported, free and Open Source network access
control (NAC) solution. Boasting an impressive feature set including a
captive-portal for registration and remediation, centralized wired and
wireless management, powerful guest management options, 802.1X support
and layer-2 isolation of problematic devices, it can be used to
effectively secure small networks to very large heterogeneous networks.
The Gateway is part of Anyfi's suite of SDN-based carrier Wi-Fi products
enabling service providers and enterprises to build and manage large
scale Wi-Fi networks with unprecedented security, flexibility and
economies of scale. The Gateway, running as a virtual machine or on bare
metal x86 hardware in a corporate data center or service provider core,
terminates Wi-Fi over IP tunnels coming in from ultra thin access
points. Access points can be from multiple vendors, installed anywhere
there is Internet access, or even carried around as a 3G hotspot.
While the Anyfi Gateway represents an entirely new class of product to
interoperate with PacketFence, it connects on the same interfaces as a
classic WLAN controller: RADIUS for AAA and Ethernet for payload data.
"/It was a pleasure working with Anyfi on this integration, and from our
perspective it was very similar to what we've previously done with WLAN
controllers from Aruba, Meru, Extricom and Ruckus, commented Ludovic
Marcotte, CEO of Inverse./"
The combined solution is compatible with any access point integrating
Anyfi.net software. This software is already available on request from
many leading residential gateway vendors and Anyfi is working with
partners to make it a standard component in Wi-Fi routers and APs. For
the impatient there's CarrierWrt, a third party firmware for many
popular Wi-Fi routers that comes with Anyfi.net software pre-integrated.
