AirDefense provides advanced Wireless LAN monitoring with a distributed architecture of remote sensors and APs that communicate with a centralized server (appliance.) A basic AirDefense system consists of an AirDefense appliance and one or more sensors.
The AirDefense remote sensors collect frames being transmitted by 802.11a-, ac, b-, g-, and n-compliant devices, and sends that data to a central AirDefense appliance for analysis and correlation.
