Secure wireless networks accelerate your retail, manufacturing and/or warehousing operation beyond what you may have ever imagined. Excalibur’s years of experience can make your existing wireless infrastructure solid, resilient, and the critical work resource you need it to be.

A thorough Site Survey is the first and most important step towards a successful wireless installation. We have found, time and time again, that installations that have been done without the survey typically fail, or encounter unforeseen delays and problems. Excalibur is experienced in setting up wireless solutions for clients with millions of square feet in their factories, and warehouses. Our team has also setup wireless solutions for college campus and other educational facilities.

Our Site Surveys are performed with industry standard , state-of-the-art tools such as AirMagnet Survey and Planner, AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer, AirMagnet Spectrum Analyzer, and other equipment that allow plotting signal coverage, link speeds, and AP Placements.

As experts in network security, Excalibur manages security risks by providing excellent and comprehensive service in every step of the wireless installation process.

Contact Excalibur today to learn more about the importance of a Site Survey and properly planning your wireless networks. Our years of experience, our state of the art tools and our motivated team are only a phone call away.

What allows Excalibur to be successful?  Aside from the fact we have been providing wireless networks since 1989, we have a full wireless lab in our Chattanooga office that allows us to test customer scenario's before going on-site.  We can also use the lab to stage wireless hardware before it reaches the customer.  We have used this lab to test different authentication methods (802.1x, etc...), guest wireless, firewall rules, fail-over, handheld connectivity, etc...  Current hardware in our lab includes: 

• · Multiple Motorola WS5100's and a RFS6000 with multiple AP300's and AP5131's.
• · Multiple Aruba A200 Controllers with AP60, AP61's and AP65's.
• · Multiple Aerohive HiveAP20 and 300's with a HiveManager
• · Cisco 2106 Controller with 1242 and 802.11n AP's

Excalibur Wireless Networking Partners

Excalibur has partnered with Aerohive due to their innovative no controller solution.  Aerohive is a 3rd generation wireless solution, that places all intelligence in the Access Point - therefore does not require a wireless controller.  All fast roaming, security, IPS/IDS, routing, guest networking is done within the Access Point.  This technology is similar to how routers and switches work on the Internet - placing all intelligence at the edge.  This leads to a fast, fault tolerant wireless network and lower ROI.  Excalibur has implemented Aerohive solutions in Manufacturing, Warehouseing, Hotel and Medical environment.  We also have the ability to manage wireless networks anywhere in the world with the innovative HiveManager that is located in our Chattanooga, TN datacenter.  Call us today today for a free demo.

Aruba offers one of the most flexible wireless solutions on the market today.  Excalibur partnered with Aruba due to their flexible controller solutions that allow you to license the technology you need for your environment and not pay for what you don't need.  With Aruba you no longer have to purchase separate appliances for security, device tracking, QoS, etc...  Aruba also has the most comprehensive selection of Access Points on the market today.  Excalibur has sold Aruba into most every market vertical, and has two of the largest EDU deals in the Southeast with Aruba!

What company has sold more wireless switches than anyone else - are you surprised by Motorola?  Yes, Motorola (by their Symbol acquisition) has sold over 100,000 wireless switches to date.  Motorola may have the best wireless solution no one outside manufacturing / retail knows about.  Motorola may have the most complete wireless portfolio on the planet.  With their purchase of AirDefense, they have the most secure portfolio of anyone.  They also have multiple outdoor product lines, that are unmatched in the industry.  They also have a very low TCO with most all features provided in their switches with no licensing fees.  Call us today to see what Motorola can do for you!

Network Access Control - Bradford Networks

As IT staffs work to deliver network access anytime and anywhere to their user populations, their networks become increasingly vulnerable to threats from professional criminals and serious hackers and unintended incidents from employees and visitors. The only way to protect the integrity of the network is to architect and implement a comprehensive network access control solution.

Bradford Networks' NAC solutions deliver the three key elements of effective network access control - identity management, endpoint compliance, and usage policy enforcement - in an integrated, appliance-based solution easily added to existing networks.

Bradford NAC solutions automatically identify authorized users and registered devices and verify device compliance before granting network access. If the user's system is noncompliant, the system provides self-remediation options so the user can update their computer themselves, reducing impact on IT staffs and help desks.

Bradford NAC solutions then continuously enforce security policies, record detailed historical audit trails, and generate reports for security threat analysis and regulatory compliance.

NAC Director^TM delivers a complete NAC solution to enterprise customers in a variety of industries, providing identity management, endpoint compliance and usage policy enforcement.

Campus Manager delivers comprehensive NAC to educational institutions, actively monitoring and protecting campus networks.
