SERVICES PLATFORM
Wireless connectivity provides unique opportunities to communicate in new and
powerful ways, but it also brings its own set of vulnerabilities, complexities and
management challenges. To get the best out of your wireless without risking its
worst, you need the right set of tools.
Motorola’s AirDefense Services Platform (ADSP) simplifies the management,
monitoring and protection of your WLAN networks. The platform supports four key
functions – security and compliance, network assurance, infrastructure management,
and proximity awareness and analytics – within a modular architecture to maximize
deployment flexibility and minimize the cost of implementation.
The ADSP combines the information collected from your network of sensors
or access points with the analytical power of an intelligent central console to
provide 24/7 network monitoring, automate security, and enable regulatory
compliance, multi-vendor management, remote troubleshooting and proximity-
based services.
