Got VPN? You'll still want new 802.1x hotspot

Re: Got VPN? You'll still want new 802.1x hotspot: I had not realised that web-based logons are bad news for Wi-Fi-enabled VoIP phones. Thanks for the insight. I agree that 802.1x could be a solution to this obstacle.

Could you elaborate on the part about transparent proxied logins? Is it safe for companies to rely on third-party wireless providers? The username/password cannot be intercepted by these providers, right?

802.1x could even enable roaming between different wireless providers (like GSM today). And perhaps it could even be a boon to ordinary home users who buy an 802.1x enabled wireless router and start earning money by accepting connections from roaming users.; Posted by: jacco Posted on: 01/22/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
