Motorola has announced it’s acquisition of AirDefense, maker of wireless LAN (local area network) security solutions.

The acquisition will complement Motorola’s existing portfolio and its “all-wireless enterprise vision,” Motorola’s Enterprise Mobility business President Kathy Paladino said in a statement.

AirDefense, founded seven years ago, produces a wireless intrusion prevention system, designed to monitor wireless networks for rogue traffic and conduct incident analysis, forensics and remote troubleshooting, according to the company’s website.

News of the deal comes on the same day as Motorola announced it was reorganizing its non-handset business into three units.
