FORT LEE, N.J.-California Lutheran University has deployed at its Thousand Oaks campus the ConnectSystem developed by ReefEdge Inc., Fort Lee, N.J., which is designed to guard against rogue wireless networks, authenticate users, control access and maintain connectivity across sub-nets.
The W.M. Keck Foundation, a large philanthropy, donated the funds for the wireless local area network deployment, which includes the ReefEdge system and covers nine academic buildings.
“We see a wireless campus as a must-have in order to keep top quality students and faculty,” said Zareh Marselian, director of technical services for the university.
“We wanted to guard against people setting up multiple wireless networks, which would prevent user authentication for other network users or lead to sensitive information flowing out of the university. Rogue access points also tend not to be configured properly, putting the entire network’s security at risk.”
