Interoperability
To test 802.11b interoperability, I used Cisco's 350 client card. For 802.11g, I used Linksys' WPC54G and D-Link Systems' DWL-G650 802.11g cards. Operation was flawless, and throughputs were at the levels of the Proxim 11a/b/g ComboCard for all three client cards.
The AP-2000 is replete with security options. With support for WEP, WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), 802.1x and RADIUS, and promised support for the upcoming 802.11i security standard, the AP-2000 will likely meet any enterprise's security needs.
Management features include full SNMP support, telnet- and console-based CLI (command-line interface), and integration into Proxim's Wireless Network Manager software. The AP-2000 also supports load-balancing and up to two 802.1q VLANs.
Proxim's AP-2000 may not be a perfect fit for every install, but the modular design and availability of multiple radio cards make it an AP
to consider.
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
