InkBridge Networks - A new name for Network RADIUS

Scale your ISP to 
Millions of Users
With the architects of the best RADIUS server for ISPs.

Your subscriber base is growing.

But your network infrastructure is holding you back.

Do you have the best RADIUS server for ISPs? Or are you running software that wasn’t  designed for scale?

Licensing costs spiral out of control.

Commercial RADIUS products charge $15-45 per  user annually. At 100,000 subscribers, that's $1.5 to 4.5 million per year.

Billing queries slow authentication to a crawl. 

When Accounting and Authentication  share databases, monthly billing reports block user logins.   

Single-site deployments create downtime risk.

One database failure takes down  authentication for all subscribers across all locations. 

Credential sharing costs you revenue.

Subscribers share logins with friends and  family. Without session tracking across sites, you're providing service to unauthorized  users.   

Enterprise RADIUS doesn't scale.

Solutions designed for 10,000 corporate employees  fail at 100,000+ ISP subscribers.

We deliver the best RADIUS server for ISPs and 
architecture expertise that you need to grow.

FreeRADIUS and InkBridgeRADIUS

The world's most widely deployed RADIUS server, plus commercial productization for  ISPs who need enterprise features, monitoring, and support. No per-user licensing.  Proven at 10-20 million user deployments.


ISP-specific architecture design 

We've architected authentication systems for ISPs worldwide for 15+ years. We know  how to handle heavy accounting demands, maintain multiple sites, prevent credential  fraud, and integrate with billing systems. Because we've done it hundreds of times.


24/7 support and custom development

ISP networks run 24/7. Our support does too. Need custom integrations with your  billing platform? Database optimization for your query patterns? We build it.


Proven best practices

We’re the global experts on ISP RADIUS design. Our team founded FreeRADIUS,  contributes to IETF RADIUS standards, and shares architecture patterns publicly so the  entire industry benefits.

RADIUS proxy consolidation

CASE STUDY 

RADIUS proxy consolidation for efficiency

This ISP was managing multiple RADIUS proxy servers across their network, creating  operational overhead and increasing costs.  

InkBridge consolidated their proxy infrastructure, reducing complexity whilst  maintaining multi-site redundancy.  

The streamlined architecture cut management time and operational expenses while improving system reliability.

Slow SQL server response

CASE STUDY 

Slow SQL server performance 

An ISP's authentication system was struggling with database performance issues.  

Instead of expensive hardware upgrades, InkBridge optimized their database  architecture and query patterns, reducing database load by 400x.  

The result: dramatically faster authentication response times using existing  infrastructure, saving both time and capital expenditure.

Frequently asked questions


Yes. National ISPs authenticate  10–20 million users on FreeRADIUS deployments. It's the most widely deployed RADIUS  server globally, handling 100+ million daily authentications. Scale is proven.

FreeRADIUS is  the open-source RADIUS server. InkBridgeRADIUS is our productized solution with  enterprise features, monitoring tools, templating for multi-site management, and  commercial support. Both avoid per-user licensing.

Small ISP deployments: 2-4 weeks.  Multi-site regional ISPs: 4-8 weeks. National-scale implementations: 8-12 weeks.  Timeline depends on your existing infrastructure and integration complexity.

Yes. We've migrated numerous ISPs from commercial RADIUS products. We assess your current  configuration, design the new architecture, handle data migration, and provide parallel  testing before cutover to minimize risk. 

24/7 support for critical issues, configuration  reviews, performance optimization, capacity planning, and custom development for  billing integrations or unique requirements. Support is tailored to ISP operational  needs.
