VOP Radius allows Network Managers and Service Providers (ISPs) to monitor and centralize "authentication", "authorization" and "accounting" of their local and roaming users. VOP Radius is a robust, high-performance RADIUS server application optimized to run in a multiple-CPU Windows Server environment for cost-effective scalability. VOP Radius also keeps database maintenance to a minimum, with flexible ODBC schema support that allows VOP Radius to authenticate by reading directly from 3rd party accounting/billing packages, NT SAM files, LDAP, UNIX password files, any ODBC database, or by using an RSA ACE server.

The high-end functionality in VOP Radius provides all the functionality and features that are usually found in more expensive Radius products at a far lower cost than you imagined. Whether you need a RADIUS server for a central location, as a proxy, or to handle roaming WiFi and VoIP users, VOP Radius has the flexibility to suit your needs.

KEY BENEFITS:
Lowers set-up costs Minimizes database maintenance Supports implementation of flexible & comprehensive security policies Broad vendor support Comprehensive technical support included
WiFi: bridging billing and hotspots Radius is the protocol of choice for WiFi and VOP Radius is the server of choice for a large and growing list of WiFi hotspot providers. Through partnerships with WiFi billing and provisioning partners like Logisense VOP Radius provides authentication and authorisation services in tens of thousands of hotspots worldwide through hundreds of providers. Implement Internet Telephony with our VoIP support Implemented in conjunction with Cisco and RODOPI, VOP Radius can let you provide VoIP (Voice over IP) support using Cisco hardware in conjunction with the RODOPI billing package. You can even use our VoIP roaming technology to establish peer-to-peer relationships with other Cisco-based VoIP providers, with the potential of providing global VoIP coverage. Why use proprietary protocols with other VoIP hardware when you can use industry standard RADIUS-based authentication instead? The most flexible database support of any Radius server VOP Radius supports a wide range of authentication sources - from simple text files, ODBC databases, NT/SAM files, LDAP directories, RSA ACE database, to UNIX password files and roaming IDs. VOP Radius can authenticate concurrently against different databases, as well as multiple data sources based on the realm and can even fall back to another data source in case of failure. This means you need less time to do the initial set-up, since you don't have to convert or migrate existing data. It also means that you reduce day-to-day maintenance efforts because you can make changes to user databases once, and VOP Radius will instantly be reading updated information. Seamless integration with popular ISP billing and accounting systems VOP Radius seamlessly integrates with many of the top billing and accounting systems including: Internet Back Office Billing (iBOB), RODOPI, ISP-Power, Platypus, EngageIP, Emerald. Click here for a complete listing. With integration at both the authentication and the accounting levels, changes made to customer information through an accounting system can automatically set up or modify customer service profiles in VOP Radius. This delivers cost savings not only because customer data is updated/added only in one place, but also because changes can be made at a clerical, rather than systems level. Some accounting packages provide web-based user administration that allows customers to register for service or change their own service profiles, reducing your workload even more. Enhance existing capabilities - use VOP Radius for roaming & as a proxy Increase service options to your customers. If you have a Radius server that doesn't support roaming, caching or dual login control, use VOP Radius to act as a Proxy & Backup server. VOP Radius supports Roaming by realm ID, and can handle an unlimited number of realms. It also supports roaming via DNIS ID. In all cases, it collects roaming statistics so that you always know how many users are on your roaming facilities and bill other ISPs. Flexibility and functionality to implement your security policies Whatever your corporate decisions are for security and policies, VOP Radius is up to the challenge. It comes with several login-control features that allow you to enforce service profiles and prevent abuse. Most of these can be set using customized profile information. Limit the number of ports that users can log into, deny ISDN or DSL connections to users who only have access to standard dial-up access, restrict usage by connect time or time-of-day, block or allow via caller-ID, IP address or DNIS-ID. For further security options, create your own custom attributes or vendor-specific attributes. Manage better by keeping tabs on login activity The VOP Radius user interface gives you online information about users, IP addresses, and the status of ports. You can also write out real-time access information to ODBC files to work with 3rd party monitoring tools. Set up VOP Radius to generate email or pager alerts. SNMP and Finger support let you synchronize user and status information with your NAS. To analyse usage, VOP Radius can support a variety of logging options, including continuous logging to an ODBC database. Reliability and performance for 24 x 7 mission-critical operations A true 32-bit, multi-threaded program, VOP Radius maximizes Windows NT/2000 system resources for efficient and scalable operations and will take full advantage of dual-CPU machines. The VOP Watch application ensures continuous operations by constantly monitoring the state of VOP Radius, and automatically restarting it should one of the threads freeze or crash. VOP Radius' cache stores the most recently active usernames, passwords and session limits; therefore, should the connection to the main data source fail, VOP Radius can continue authenticating against its internal cache. As a further failsafe, VOP Radius can be directed to authenticate against a secondary or backup source instead of relying on cached information.
