Managing an academic network requires flexibility. Servicing a large number of users with a wide variety of equipment on a limited budget is a major challenge. Elektron helps you meet that challenge by providing all of the widely deployed RADIUS protocols in one easy-to-use package. From the latest authentication options (like PEAP, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-FAST), to the oldest (like PAP, CHAP, and LEAP) Elektron can bridge the authentication gap between your network access equipment and your existing user directory.
Layered Security
Elektron can provide your academic network with multiple layers of security, limiting access based on a user's identity and that user's role in your organization. Students can have limited internet access, faculty can be given access to your research network, while your administrative network can be limited to protect access to sensitive records.
Multiple Authentication Options
Whether you have a directory server (Active Directory, Open Directory, or generic LDAP source), legacy RADIUS server, or even an ODBC-compliant database, Elektron can use your existing user accounts to provide network access. In the latest release, Elektron can direct itself to use multiple authentication sources based on a user's domain.
Academic Pricing
Special pricing for educational users is available, making it even easier to roll out wireless network security on an academic budget.
