Periodik Labs updates Elektron for SMB Wi-Fi security

Periodik Labs today announced the release and immediate availability of Elektron 1.2, the latest version of its award-winning software for securing small business Wi-Fi networks. The software brings easy to use, enterprise-level Wi-Fi security to businesses without a full time IT staff.

Elektron provides RADIUS authentication services to WPA Enterprise capable wireless access points, including popular hardware from manufacturers like Apple, Linksys, D-Link, Cisco, and Netgear. WPA Enterprise is the standard specified by the Wi-Fi Alliance for the strongest available wireless network security. Elektron is the first non-proprietary server solution to bring WPA Enterprise security to small businesses.

Elektron contains support for the latest Wi-Fi security standards, including PEAP and TTLS. Elektron is compatible with the Wi-Fi client software built into Mac OS X 10.3 and later and Windows XP. No additional software is necessary for clients using either of these platforms.

Elektron 1.2 for Windows 2000/XP/2003 is available at a price of $299.99. It may be purchased directly through the Corriente Networks web site or through one of Periodik Labs’s value added resellers. Elektron is licensed on a per-server basis, with each server licensed for an unlimited number of clients.

Max OS X version of the software is also available.
