Introduction Introduction The AirDefense Model 510 Remote Sensor passively observes and collects all wireless LAN traffic, analyzes the 802.11 frames, extracts meaningful data points to determine key attributes and transmits these to the server appliance. This sensor has two radios (one 802.11a and one 802.11 b/ g) and scans both frequency bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) simultaneously.
