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 :-)

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Wireless Security biting you in the ass?
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).
I need to think about it some more before I can give you a better answer.
