Products > Medusa WiFi

Overview

Many centers fail to maximize their use of wireless (WIFI). Our new wireless management module automates many functions making it easy to control from the Medusa screens. Examples of controls include the setting of access keyphrases, and the option of secure isolation of users (so they can’t see each other). Medusa creates up to four separate wireless user groups which can be used for Hotdesks (Virtuals), roaming users, a private admin network for devices such as display screens and WIFI cameras, and a voice group for iPhones.

The Problem

Everyone wants wireless – it’s so convenient. But what starts off as something simple often becomes unreliable and messy. Users have difficulty connecting, and staff becomes entangled with ill-defined issues. Worst of all are those security questions from the users who know about wireless. Terms such as passphrases, security keys and encryption types can confuse the best of us, but the penalty for getting this wrong can be high. If your wireless signal spreads to the floor above, the street or parking lot, then your security must be good.

Medusa WiFi – Total Integration, Big or Small

• Medusa WiFi is easy to manage from the Medusa screens. This can be done on-site or remotely.
• The wireless access points are controlled directly by Medusa WiFi.
• Medusa makes it easy for you to decide where your wireless services reach in your building, and which of your users get access to them.
• Operators can control everything they need quickly and easily. You will relax knowing that security is integral to the design.
• Our solution scales from a single access point with one type of user to complex building layouts with multiple types of users and services.
• As always with Medusa, it is an Instant Infrastructure solution, which is under your control.

Users and Revenue

• Medusa WiFi creates different types of wireless service, as does our conventional wired equipment.
• WiFi extends our Hotdesk function for the many types of visitor and casual user, including virtuals
• We also support Roaming. Users can reach their physical suite network via wireless directly instead of requiring a VPN.
• Capture the iPhone market. Users today have hundreds of applications on their IPhones and similar personal devices. Let them maintain contact wirelessly by Skype, IM, and a hundred other applications from the App Store.
• Gain efficiency from an admin service. Use this for staff mobility, security cameras, access devices, digital signage, and much more.

How it Works

• Medusa Wi-Fi consists of two parts – the Wireless Manager software module and our wireless Access Points (APs). If you don’t have a Medusa Server, then we supply an Appliance that provides just wireless management.
• During installation, Medusa is told where the access points are connected.
• Staff may then manage each access point for the Groups (or “SSIDs”) on each AP.
• Finally the Groups created are allocated to one or more “Suites”, which can be companies, offices, Hotdesks or anything else configurable on Medusa.
