PLEASANTON, California, June 29 /PRNewswire/ --

- Perimeter Security Solution: Ultimate Cyber Barrier

Today, Trapeze Networks, a Belden brand (NYSE: BDC), announced global
availability of the Trapeze RF Firewall(TM), a location-based firewall
securing wireless LAN networks (WLANs). The Trapeze RF Firewall is the first
application available on the new Trapeze LA-200E Location Appliance, also
announced today. (See June 29, 2009 press release, "Demand for Location
Services Driving Trapeze Networks to Deliver High Capacity Solutions.")

The Trapeze RF Firewall is a perimeter security application that works in
conjunction with the Trapeze LA-200E. For example, a company may decide to
deny network access to anyone located outside the building. The Trapeze
LA-200E Location Appliance is able to discern exactly where someone with
their Wi-Fi device is located. Based on that information, the RF Firewall
refers to the enforced policy, denying access to the network inside. This
type of firewall thwarts a wide variety of hacking / cracking techniques.

In what is possibly one of the largest cybercrimes committed to-date,
thieves parked outside a TJ Maxx department store used their wireless laptops
to read transactions processed by Wi-Fi-connected cash registers inside the
store. Ultimately, 45,000,000 credit card numbers were stolen. A Trapeze RF
Firewall running on a Trapeze LA-200E could have located the notebook in the
parking lot and stopped it from connecting to the network.

- Location-Based Perimeter Security - RF Firewall creates a virtual     
      location-based firewall around facilities and prevents unauthorized 
      access from attackers attempting to break into a wireless network 
      using high-gain antennas, spoofed MAC addresses, broken encryption 
      keys, and stolen credentials and devices.  Using location as a part 
      of authentication procedures, outsiders are kept off the network to 
      prevent systematic attacks commonly mounted from outside.
    - Location-Based Policy Enforcement - RF Firewall allows IT / security 
      personnel to define, manage and control a hierarchy of network 
      administration and security policies.  Strict access and 
      authentication policies are defined based on physical boundaries - 
      e.g., inside or outside the building, public spaces or employee 
      areas.
    - Actionable Alerts and Authentication History - RF Firewall provides 
      actionable alerts by identifying the precise location of the 
      potential security breach.  It also tracks user and Wi-Fi device 
      movements based on authentication requests to access the wireless 
      network.  A complete, detailed device list and the history of all 
      devices on the network, including attempts to connect to the 
      network, are displayed in real time.
    - Base Platform for Securing Business Applications - RF Firewall is 
      powered on the Trapeze LA-200E for a unified view into the location 
      of potential security breaches.  The Trapeze LA-200E with RF 
      Firewall provides a secure WLAN platform for additional business 
      applications such as ActiveAsset(TM) for asset management and 
      SmartPass(TM) for user provisioning and guest access control.

RF Firewall combined with the Trapeze LA-200E is priced at US$21,995 and
