Manage Local and Remote Devices

Manage onsite devices through a wireless LAN and support remote sites over any WAN connection. The central console lets you check and deploy the right settings for a host of popular devices and operating systems: Avalanche automatically handles the repetitive process of updating each unit.

Enhance and Extend Wireless LAN Security

Avalanche increases the security of your wireless network by enabling quick, easy updates to parameters such as SSID, WEP, EAP, LEAP and 802.1x settings—without adding new devices or infrastructure. When you use Avalanche in conjunction with Wavelink Mobile Manager (our solution for AP management), capabilities such as automatic WEP key rotation and rogue AP detection protect your network from unauthorized equipment and malicious intrusions.

Track Your Mobile Assets

To monitor and manage your installed base of mobile devices, Avalanche provides real-time visibility into their status. It also helps you keep track of all managed assets and even lets you export asset data to reporting applications.

Maximize Uptime and Productivity

When it’s time for updates, upgrades and other maintenance activities, Avalanche keeps mobile devices in the field where they belong. It automatically downloads new information directly to each device via the wireless LAN—no cradles, docking stations or serial connections required. Avalanche also minimizes downtime when a mobile device fails and you need to quickly configure and deploy a replacement, locally or at a remote site.

Handle Past, Present and Future Devices

Avalanche lets you handle today’s hardware while leaving room for growth and enhancing your ability to respond quickly to unexpected changes. Avalanche supports a wide range of leading and legacy devices, laptops and operating systems.
