Our Setup
The Radioactive Networks wireless setup is pretty simple. Our deployment
of wireless is in direct proportion to our needs. With a very limited number
of roaming clients, Radioactive Networks does not have a business need to
extend it's wireless network past having a single base station.
We have deployed a Linksys WAP-11 Ethernet Wireless Access Point which will
allow maximum equipment re-use when we want to expand this network at some
point in the future.
Whilst the WAP-11 supports WEP encryption, Radioactive Networks does not rely
on this for our security. We feel that any traffic that goes over a wireless
network might be examined by hackers. For this reason we have dedicated
seperate port on our firewall for 802.11 traffic. This allows us to tightly
control the traffic that appears on this link.
For example we may decide to allow TELNET inside our network, but SSH is required
on the wireless link.
On the client side we use a number of different cards - mainly from D-LINK and
ICOM. Of all the cards, the D-LINK USB cars is the best because of the antenna
on this unit. This allows the best signal to be obtained leading to faster speeds
