Securing wireless Local Area Network interconnections with Layer 2 encryption - Story

July 14, 2010
Enabling military and civilian government operations to dynamically interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs), wireless technologies are a lifesaver in environments where wired connections are cost-prohibitive or just not practical.
