rogue and misconfigured access points and insecure or unauthorized
client connections. SpectraGuard 2.0 also provides pinpoint tracking
of all Wi-Fi devices and events, and the ability to accurately determine
the best placement of sensors to eliminate coverage holes and dead
spots. Pricing for a Starter Kit begins at $7,500 for the software
version of the Policy Management Server (also available as a 1U
rack-mount appliance) and dual radio 802.11 a/b/g SpectraSensors.
