How Radiator can be used in different test use cases

Radiator AAA Server Software can be used by different vendors to perform authentication tests, whenever they need their equipment to be connected to different networks in a secure and flexible way, such as Wi-Fi networks or mobile networks. Over the years, Radiator team has acquired a lot of experience in these scenarios.

Secure authentication is especially important for vendors developing IoT-products, such as medical equipment used in mission-critical hospital Wi-Fi networks. Secure authentication, and various supported authentication methods, help the products to be connected securely in different environments.

Radiator can be easily deployed and configured when automating these tests. Whenever a new version of a product needs to go through authentication and other tests, the process is easy and time-efficient with Radiator. In addition to authentication tests, Radiator provides logging in a variety of formats, making it easy to interoperate with external testing systems.

Additionally, for many utility appliance vendors, such as water sensors or electricity meters, Radiator can handle the accounting data, which can then be used to integrate with different reporting and management systems. The Radiator team has plenty of experience with interoperability testing from different use cases.

In recent years, Radiator has been an integral component in the Wi-Fi Alliance ® testbed for Wi-Fi authentication certification purposes, which is used by vendors to acquire the Wi-Fi Certified ® certification. Authentication methods included in the testbed are EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-FAST, EAP-PEAP, and EAP-PWD. In other similar test cases, Radiator has been used for testing IMSI privacy encryption, which is supported by Radiator SIM Module.
