• Encryption
• 128-bit TKIP/AES-CCMP
• PEAP: GTC, MD5 & MSCHAPV2
• EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS: PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP, MSCHAPV2, EAP-MSCHAPV2, EAP-GTC & EAP-MD5
• LEAP

Cabling! An Expensive & Slow Speed Infrastructure

• The cost of installing RS232 cabling & infrastructure can be prohibitive besides locking your Machine Tool into a confined area which results in an inflexibility effecting your competitiveness.
• Long runs of Cabling limit the speed of data transmission and can result in data starvation. The recommend baud rate for 50' of RS232 Cabling is 9600 baud!
• Wireless Communications can reach 54 Mbit/s (IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11g) well above the limits of RS232 Cabling!

Wireless Communications Meets some basic Tenets of Lean Manufacturing

• One of the basic tenets of Lean Manufacturing is the need to reduce production time and costs. A Wireless communications infrastructure allows Companies to move their Machine Tools quickly to create lean Cells without adding additional Cabling Infrastructures which adds to direct and the indirect costs.
• The Tenet of "Continual Improvements" is another Wireless plus! RS232 Cabling limits the speed with which Data can be sent to your Machine Tool. Wireless is virtually instantaneous meeting any Machine Tool Future Communications Requirements.

Safety

• Installing RS232 Cabling in a Shop can result in several hazards:
• Loose Hanging Cable
• Tripping
• Conduit for Electrical Storm (Lightning Strikes)
• Conduit for Electrical Faults
• Accidents installing Cable Infrastructure

Mobility

• Access to your information anywhere, anytime and any place! ShopWireless enables high-performance mobile computing without compromising the confidentiality, integrity or availability of information.
• Take your laptop into the shop and look at the data being collected at your Machine Tools while being "Un-Wired".
• ShopWireless' Solutions comprehensively secures the wireless infrastructure with leading-edge encryption, authentication, rogue access point detection and WLAN intrusion defense.
