About AirTight Networks
AirTight Networks, Inc. was established in 2003 by Pravin Bhagwat, a former professor at IIT Kanpur. Bhagwat, who was part of the original team that developed the Wi-Fi protocol at IBM Research, recognized inherent security flaws in the technology and founded AirTight to address them. The company initially focused on developing technology to secure Wi-Fi networks, building its initial team at IIT Kanpur before establishing a presence in Silicon Valley to access the US market.
Read full description
The firm specialized in wireless security and compliance solutions, gaining early traction with clients like McDonald's. Its core product was a wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) that could detect, classify, block, and locate wireless threats. The business operated on a subscription-based model for its cloud-based services, offering hosted wireless security and compliance solutions. This model provided clients with 24/7 monitoring, security dashboards, and real-time alerts without the need for significant upfront capital expenditure on hardware. The company targeted a wide range of sectors, including finance, government, retail, and healthcare.
AirTight's product suite included the SpectraGuard WIPS family and AirTight Cloud Services, which delivered controller-less WLAN access and PCI wireless compliance in a single device. A key feature was its dual-radio access points that could function simultaneously as a Wi-Fi access point and a dedicated WIPS sensor, providing continuous threat detection. In January 2016, AirTight Networks rebranded to Mojo Networks to reflect a broader focus on cloud-managed Wi-Fi services, moving beyond just security. This strategic shift was driven by customer demand and the growing market for cloud-managed WLAN services. The company was ultimately acquired by Arista Networks in August 2018.
