Harris Offers Very Secure Wireless LAN

For those that think Wireless LANs cannot be made secure, Harris Corp. begs to differ. Harris has begun offering their Secure Wireless Local Area Network - SecNet 11. The product is based on 802.11b technology, but considerably enhanced with US Government-only encryption suffiencient to allow its use for classified data. More information at http://www.govcomm.harris.com/secure-comm/

Recall that wireless LAN chipset powerhouse Intersil, developers of the ubiquitous Prism family of WLAN chipsets, is formerly the semiconductor division of Harris Corp.

  • About Steve Stroh

    In 1996, I was fascinated to discover that providing Internet Access via license-exempt wireless technologies was not only possible, but being done routinely by a small band of pioneering Internet Service Providers.

    By mid-1997, I was writing professionally about Broadband Wireless Internet Access (BWIA) as a monthly columnist in Boardwatch Magazine.

    In 2000, I began writing about BWIA full time in my own blogs, for numerous other publications, and my own subscription newsletter.

    From 2008 - 2015, I took a hiatus from writing about BWIA, but my interest in BWIA did not wane. From 2016 - 2020 I worked to resume writing full time.
