Aegis Client

Meetinghouse Data Communications Inc.

Portsmouth, N.H.


One problem we discovered with our Cisco wireless LAN is that its implementation of Lightweight Extensible Access Protocol (LEAP) authentication works only with Cisco's wireless PC cards and software. Meetinghouse Data Communications' Aegis Client addresses this issue by providing LEAP authentication support that works with most vendors' wireless client software.


Our installation was painless, and I was up and running with LEAP and my Proxim Orinoco wireless card in minutes. I still had to run Proxim Inc.'s client software and then run the Aegis Client software on top of that. But a new version incorporates client software and LEAP support in one package. Pricing starts at $39.99 per workstation.
