Wireless switch specialist Aruba will bring same security to wired networks next year. The Aruba 2E Grid Point provides a secure IP tunnel to one of the company’s ‘wireless grid’ switches. Each wired grid point can be powered by the Ethernet link itself. Aruba said it doesn’t expect enterprises to equip every LAN port with an E2. Instead, it’s pitching the boxes for use in more public ports, such as those located in meeting rooms. The E2, 6000 and 6100 are set to ship in Q1 2005.
