Freequently Asked Questions

Cnergee's Wifiguard solution is based on a "Make in India" embedded Linux and C-based firmware that is developed completely in-house. This approach avoids the security vulnerabilities and supply chain risks associated with using open-source operating systems. By building from the ground up, Cnergee has complete control over the firmware, ensuring a highly hardened and secure foundation for its WiFi solutions. This proprietary firmware is the brain behind the robust performance and security features.

Yes.
One of the key benefits of the Wifiguard solution is its flexibility. The Cnergee firmware can be deployed on many third-party access points. This provides immense value during brownfield deployments or network migrations, as it allows organizations to reuse their existing hardware, significantly reducing capital expenditure and the total cost of ownership. This flexibility ensures a smooth and cost-effective transition to a more secure and robust Wi-Fi network without a "rip and replace" approach.

Cnergee Wifiguard offers advanced security features, including integrated AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) functionality. This means that access points can handle user authentication and policy enforcement directly, providing a high level of security at the network edge. It also has the ability to create secure connections or tunnels within the AP itself. The solution also supports the creation of a mesh network by communicating with other third-party APs, which improves coverage and reliability while maintaining a unified security policy.

Cnergee's "Make in India" Wi-Fi 6 and 7 APs come with advanced, built-in security features. A standout capability is Rogue AP Detection, which automatically identifies and flags unauthorized access points connected to or near your network. This is a critical feature for preventing cybercriminals from setting up malicious hotspots (honeypots) to steal sensitive data. The combination of a proprietary OS and advanced hardware features ensures superior performance and security for modern, high-density environments.

The unified firmware, which can run on both Cnergee's and third-party APs, simplifies network management and provides a single pane of glass for administrators. Instead of managing multiple vendors' solutions, IT teams can monitor and manage the entire network, from authentication and security to performance and mesh creation, all from one centralized platform. This reduces operational complexity, streamlines policy enforcement, and enhances the network's overall efficiency and security posture.
