In today's connected world, more and more embedded devices are adopting network connectivity to provide enhanced functionality, convenient management, and sophisticated control. Frequently though, it may be inconvenient or impractical to use a wired network for such connectivity. However, as untethered computing comes of age and security takes center-stage in the wireless world, devices unfettered by wires in various embedded application domains are not far off. New applications for wireless technologies beyond the standard LAN setup are fueling the demand for more secure, more standardized embedded middleware running on standard embedded OSes. Wireless technologies do not stop at any traditional network boundary, so security efforts for wireless networks cannot be concentrated at the boundaries. Instead, security has to be built right into the device at the protocol layer.

The SecureAire Family provides a range of secure wireless connectivity options for embedded devices - from thin or fat Access Point functionality, to 802.11 client-side functionality and WLAN switch functions. Standards-based and interoperability tested, SecureAire opens up a wide range of possibilities has opened up for embedded devices and expanded their connectivity services.

The SecureAire Family comprises of:
