This means Motorola’s AirDefense
Services Platform v9.0 (ADSP v9.0) was added by DISA
to the Unified Capabilities-Approved
Products List (UC-APL), which identifies
equipment that is certified to be compliant with the Defense Department’s
security and interoperability standards.
For those
who unfamiliar, AirDefense features a wireless intrusion detection solution
(WIDS) that identifies and prohibits unauthorized users and devices from
connecting to a wireless network, regardless of its manufacturer.
According to
Motorola Solutions’, ‘’Enterprise products included on the UC-APL are approved
for acquisition by Department of Defense agencies, which are required to deploy
security systems to safeguard wireless networks at their facilities. AirDefense
is the first and currently the only approved product in the WIDS category on
the UC-APL.
There is a
large installed user base of AirDefense systems protecting wireless networks for
the military. With the placement of AirDefense on the UC-APL, Defense
Department customers can now secure their networks with the assurance that they
comply with DISA requirements.’’

“Until recently, the Department of Defense deployed wireless intrusion detection solutions simply to enforce policies that prohibited devices from being used at their facilities. But with the introduction of smartphones and tablets as approved equipment, Defense Department agencies now can use AirDefense’s security features to permit only authorized users with access to their wireless enterprise networks, and to manage and control their devices over-the-air.” Said Paul Mueller, vice president, U.S. Federal Government Markets Division, Motorola Solutions
