e-models now support WPA-Enterprise 802.1x WiFi


WPA/WPA2-Enterprise/802.1x Certificate based Wi-Fi access is now available in MOTOTRBO radios which support this (i.e. -e models with WiFi enabled).  This allows MOTOTRBO radios to be deployed on Wi-Fi networks that require WPA-Enterprise based access.

A WPA-Enterprise network uses a certificate for authentication, unlike a WPA-PSK network, which uses a password or pre-shared key. It supports the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) for Certificate Management and covers enrollment; renewal and rollover.

To support this, radios simply need to be upgraded (and the WiFi licence added if need be).
New (new to the system) radios will however need to be added via an enrollment Access Point that has been configured with WPA/WPA2 Personal. Once enrollled, the enrollment Access Point is no longer needed.

The following protocols are therefore also now supported:

EAP TLS
PEAP with Phase 2 authentication as TLS, MSCHAPV2
EAP TTLS with Phase 2 authentication as PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP, MSCHAPV2

SCEP also supports X.509 v3 certificates; RSA key size of 1024, 2048 and 4096 bits as well as MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 Signature Hash Algorithms.

NTP is also supported but requires a server or connectivity to one of the public time servers (e.g. pool.ntp.org).
