Hornet 802.11b Security Monitor

The Hornet™ is a self-contained 802.11b WLAN Monitoring System that detects and responds to unauthorized access attempts and sources of channel interference on any local DSSS network. By continuually running through a checklist of valid MAC addresses, Hornet is able to instantly identify unauthorized “hackers” and distinguish them from valid AP traffic on the network. Hornet is a wireless instrument but also contains a RS-232 serial port for wired updating and monitoring as well as an AC connection for secure monitoring 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
