NOTIFICATION OF UNAUTHORIZED WIRELESS NETWORK DEVICES

摘要

Apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media relating to an unauthorized wireless network device notification system (“WNS”) are described. The WNS may be configured to notify the presence of an authorized wireless network device. (“WND”) The WNS may include an unauthorized network device identification service (“UNIS”) as well as one or more detect/notify devices (“DNDs”). The DNDs may be placed in multiple locations around a monitored space and may be configured to detect wireless network signals from a WND in their vicinity. The DNDs may then send information identifying the WND to the UNIS to determine whether the WND is authorized. If the UNIS determines that the WND is unauthorized, it may determine a location for the WND and send commands to the DNDs to notify persons in the area. This notification may include use of lighting or sound. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

1. An apparatus comprising:
one or more wireless networking transceivers; one or more computer processors coupled to the one or more wireless networking transceivers; a network detection module to be operated by the one or more computer processors to:
receive signals for one or more wireless network devices via the wireless networking transceivers; andbased on the received signals for the one or more wireless network devices, facilitate determination of a presence of an unauthorized wireless network device; and a notification module to be operated by the one or more computer processors to issue a notification of the determination of the presence of an unauthorized wireless network device.
