Introduction
The AirMagnet AM-5020-11AG Sensor provides 24x7 remote monitoring and troubleshooting of
802.11 wireless networks. Sensors are deployed near clusters of access points, and provide
security assessment, performance monitoring, network fault detection and remote
troubleshooting functions. Management staff can easily monitor the security measures in use on
every station and access point device to insure compliance with established policies, and also
automatically scan for dozens of wireless network attacks.

These analysis functions can be monitored and controlled from both centralized and distributed
operations centers. These centers can be located in the building, on the campus, or anywhere in
the world without requiring high travel costs or excessive delay of sending IT expert staff to
remote locations.
