EF Johnson Technologies, Inc., announced that its 3e Technologies International (3eTI) subsidiary has released an update to its FIPS 140-2 validated 3e-010F client software that is compatible with Intel's wireless adapters. This new capability enables U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other Federal users to employ secure wireless LAN systems using FIPS 140-2 validated IEEE 802.11i technology.

"Federal government users today are buying laptops with built-in wireless communications based on Intel Centrino 2 mobile processor technology," said Michael Jalbert, president and chief executive officer of EF Johnson Technologies, Inc.

"Intel's Ultimate-N WiFi Link 5300, delivers advanced 802.11n multi stream capabilities to both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks, offering users business class coverage and performance. Users requiring FIPS 140-2 support can now use Intel's 802.11n adapters."

Jalbert added, "As a provider of FIPS validated crypto client software compatible with Intel's mobile technology, this new software positions us to increase our market share in the Secure Wireless Client software market for the Federal Government and will create additional opportunities for our wireless broadband product portfolio."
