Scaling to millions of subscribers takes more than just bandwidth. You need to build authentication infrastructure that won't buckle under the load. 

That's why InkBridge Networks is hosting a focused, technical webinar on RADIUS design patterns built for scale and resilience.   

If you're architecting authentication systems for an ISP, this session will walk you through what actually works when uptime is non-negotiable and subscriber growth is measured in six figures. 

Whether you're dealing with performance bottlenecks, planning for high availability, or trying to future-proof your infrastructure, this webinar cuts through the noise and gives you practical architecture guidance you can use. 

What we'll cover: 

  • How to design RADIUS systems that scale to millions of active subscribers 
  • Architecture patterns that support true high availability requirements 
  • Common design mistakes that create single points of failure - and how to avoid them   

Format: 

30 minutes. 20-minute presentation covering real-world design patterns, followed by 10 minutes of live Q&A. No fluff, no sales deck - just technical architecture guidance from someone who's been designing large-scale RADIUS deployments for decades.  

You'll hear from Alan DeKok, CEO of InkBridge Networks and creator of FreeRADIUS, the world's most widely deployed RADIUS server. 

Who should attend: 

  • System administrators and network architects for ISPs 
  • Engineering leaders planning authentication infrastructure upgrades 
  • Technical leaders responsible for subscriber access and availability
