Re: Wireless range limiting

(Disclaimer: I actively develop the RFprotect products for Aruba Networks)

RFprotect Mobile, like Air Magnet Survey, gives you the ability to do
surveys of wireless coverage and plot them on imported floor plans. In
addition to survey functionalaty RFprotect provides the ability to do walk
around vulnerability assessments, compliance reporting, and location
analysis. RFprotect Mobile also costs significantly less than $18k

RFprotect Distributed, like the Newbury RF Firewall, allows you to deploy a
24x7 infrastructure that can monitor and secure your networks against
unauthorized users and attackers. Unlike RF Firewall users are given
complete control of the enforcement policy to determine precisely how
prevention and access control is applied.
