With almost 10,000 customers, including three-quarters of the Fortune 100, Fluke Networks’ AirMagnet is releasing the latest version (9.0) of AirMagnet Enterprise, its wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) for managing and securing enterprise WLANs. Wireless communications is exploding, and security is a huge and growing problem. The company says that by the end of the year, 70 percent of all new worldwide voice and data client-to-LAN connections will be wireless, with 802.11n becoming the de facto standard (with 50 percent of unit shipment in 2011, 63 percent in 2012 and 75 percent by 2014, according to Infonetics).
