The NSE is designed for the following critical application areas:
Enterprise
! ! ! !
IT administrators can deploy NSE-enabled wireless Access Points to
enhance today's security implementations (that focus on the privacy of the
data) by providing a Web-based, vendor and client-independent solution that
securely authenticates the user to the network over SSL. The NSE enables
the deployment of policy-based access and easily integrates into existing
centralized authentication databases, providing greater security to the
wireless LAN. The NSE also enables transparent subnet roaming, allowing
the deployment of multiple wireless subnets and limiting the available
bandwidth of users per Access Point—enabling a more cost effective,
scalable deployment of wireless LANs.
Public-LAN
! ! ! !
By using an NSE-enabled edge networking device, service providers can
instantly deliver transparent broadband access to any customer at any public
access location—without requiring the user to reconfigure their computer or
use client-side software. Customers can create accounts at the public access
location in real time and receive local content and services from the service
provider or premise owner. The NSE can pass the necessary parameters for
authentication and billing to the service provider allowing settlement to
occur. The NSE provides the intelligence necessary to capture customers on-
site without the need for call center support functions or the provisioning of
expensive client-side software.
Residential
! ! ! !
Providers of residential broadband Internet access can deploy an NSE-
enabled gateway in the home to deliver broadband access to any consumer.
Our patented Dynamic Address Translation™ technology means customers
won't need to reconfigure their computer or use any special client-side
software, dramatically reducing technical support costs and product return
rates. The NSE automatically redirects consumers to the service provider's
portal page to create accounts and receive local content and services
generating an immediate revenue stream. The NSE passes all necessary
parameters for authentication and billing back to the service provider's
infrastructure for settlement to occur.
The NSE is completely modular, allowing you to choose only those features needed
for your specific application.
