Secure connection with BigAir.

There are wireless providers - and wireless providers. A poor network that sends signals over the airwaves can create the opportunity for a security risk in the form of data interception.

However, our BigAir network has the following techniques to provide protection at the physical, network and application layers of the network. The result is a highly secure and robust system without wireless eaves-dropping or malicious user attacks.

Proprietary Wireless and Data Formats
BigAir uses proprietary communications signaling and data-link protocols that make it almost impossible to intercept or spoof the wireless data streams.

Transmission Encryption
Encryption is employed on every wireless link.

MAC Address Authentication
The BigAir Base Stations maintain a user-configurable, password-controlled table of authorised BigAir subscriber unit MAC addresses. Subscriber units cannot talk to the network unless the BigAir Base Station Unit authenticates its MAC address and adds it to the network.

MAC Address Filtering
The BigAir Subscriber Units are configured to filter the downlink traffic stream to prevent a BigAir Subscriber Unit from outputting traffic that is destined elsewhere. The filtering restrictions can be based upon Ethernet addresses, VlAN addresses, or IP addresses. Only the BigAir Network Operations Centre (NOC) can configure the filtering controls.
