Enterprise Level Wireless Network Management Package

摘要

For years, enterprise IT managers have had sophisticated network management tools, like Cisco's Airespace and Fluke Network's Airmagnet, to help them configure, manage and determine the health of their networks, both wired and wireless. Aerodel Director from SoftDEL Systems (www.softdel.com) aims to bring that functionality into the wireless sensor network world in industrial process plants. Wireless brings with it its own set of problems: primarily network management and security within a heterogeneous multi-vendor and multi-protocol environment. Wireless is difficult to manage, and the mass adoption of industrial wireless networks will be limited by the ease of deployment, configurability, maintainability, reliability and security of installations.
