Pre-booking airport parking is quick and easy and saves you money; you can print out your airport-parking voucher from the website or receive an instant e–mail as confirmation. Find the same airport parking service for less, within 7 days of booking and we will match the price or refund the difference. Airport parking can be booked on the day of travel.

Depending upon the airport of your choice both on and off airport parking options is usually available. When parking at Heathrow, Manchester, Gatwick, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Birmingham a choice of more than one off airport car park is also available.

Off airport, car parks are at a substantial discount compared to parking on airport. An off airport car park can sometimes be has much has 50% cheaper than an airport drive on price.

Our on airports prices are also cheaper because they are pre booked are also much cheaper than the drive on price.

Regular transfers to and from the airport operate 24 hours a day at each car parking facility.

The Best UK Airport Car Parks

Holiday Extras offers car parks that are on site at the airport and off airport at 24 UK airports. You will not find a better deal when you pre-book a parking space at any of the 36 secured airport car parks.

Security

All car parks, which we are associated with, have 24 hour manned security and high security fencing. The Chief Police Officers Association has accredited most of the car parks for security, which requires a rigorous annual inspection and CCTV is now widely used.

Wireless access points (APs) translate the hardwired electronic signals in the network to radio signals that are sent across the air. Plugging an access point into the existing network and a wireless interface card
directly in the PC can extend networks quickly and easily. With very little configuration, one is able to set up a wireless network, and roam anywhere within a 300 foot region without the traditional network ethernet.Unfortunately, this also makes the same network available to any other PC that is also equipped with a wireless network card. Without proper security precautions, intruders can freely access your network. While IT managers would never think of installing an Ethernet drop outside the front door of the building,unprotected wireless access is virtually the same approach, with two significant differences. With a small amplifier and antenna, a hacker can sit undetected in a more remote location than the front door of the building, and hackers are posting unsecured networks and their positions on the Internet for others to access.Unprotected wireless networks essentially “open the front door” of your network to intruders that can access shared drives and data, sniff every packet on your network, read emails, access web sites, and capture data for further analysis, and take as long as they need to crack the rest of your system. Three real-world experiences illustrate the reality of WLAN vulnerabilities:
• At a seminar on WLAN security, an instructor showed the entire class how to find the open wireless LAN
access points with freeware available on the Web. Within 15 minutes, students were able to sniff and
record all of the network traffic and monitor Web pages and email packets sent to the network.
• An IT consultant, scheduled to install new software on a customer’s IT servers over the weekend, was able to begin the installation process and shut down the servers from the parking lot, while waiting forthe customer to arrive, through the company’s wireless network. While this was an authorized user, an unauthorized intruder could have done the same thing.
• The well publicized network intrusion at a major commercial retail center earlier this year where an intruder captured credit card numbers in the parking lot using tools available over the Internet.Capturing unsecured data anywhere in the range of a wireless LAN is very easy. The issue of security isn’t limited to the standard wireless range of 300 feet indoors and 1000 ft. outdoors. Wireless hackers with antennas and power amplifiers can access your network completely out of sight, and usually without your knowledge. While the advantages of wireless are tremendous, the security issues are real. Without physical security that can be used to protect wired networks, wireless users need to protect their networks with other tools that can provide the same level of security as wired networks. These solutions can be layered to provide the level of security required for any user or organization.

Radio receiver net (WLAN) applied science embodies the most bolted prospering segment of the communications securities industry.
Harmonizing to Gartner Research, worldwide shipments of WLAN units are forecasted to grow at an annual rate of 42% through 2007.
The major driver fueling this growth is the strong return on investment afforded by much lower installation costs, higher availability, and mobile data connectivity. Another significant advantage of WLAN technology is that there is no “killer app” required to deploy wireless networks. WLAN components hoopla into the extant Substructure as plainly as extending a phone line with a wireless phone. Unlike traditional network technology adoption that starts with enterprises and moves to the SOHO and home markets as the technology matures, WLANs are being adopted in the opposite order. While galore Tummies and lines of work are taking over wireless LANs, the SOHO and home users are adopting WLANs at a much faster pace. By removing the need to wire a network in the home, the cost of adoption and benefit of mobility within the home and low cost of components make wireless networking a low-cost and efficient way to install a home network. This segment of the market is much less aware and concerned about the security implications associated with wireless networks. At the same time, wireless adoption within the corporate and medium-sized businesses has been severely inhibited by security concerns associated with placing sensitive corporate data over the air. While home users are less aware and less concerned about the security implications associated with wireless networks, WLANs have struck a nerve with security conscious IT departments. Until recently, there has been no straightforward, cost effective way to deploy wireless security. IT departments have been forced to either forbid the deployment of wireless networks, overlook the security concerns, or install costly VPN solutions to build protected data tunnels between each wireless user, and the core network. This paper discusses the 3 layers of wireless security and the options available for securing the network:
• Physical layer encryption, including WEP which has proven ineffective against hackers and intentional
intruders;
• 802.1X standards-based security which provides cost effective, easy to use network security; and
• VPN-based security for the most security conscious requirements.
