Comparison reflects typical capabilities of each category as of 2026; evaluate your specific vendor before deciding.
Three reasons operators consolidate onto ProxRad.
A deep RouterOS API integration with native RADIUS (MS-CHAPv2/PAP), instant CoA speed changes, and live Torch graphs — validated past 60,000 subscribers per node thanks to a batch-fetch architecture that sidesteps the RouterOS API broker bottleneck.
Billing, prepaid cards, QR/PDF invoices, multi-tier FUP and free-hours, reseller hierarchy with white-label, TR-069 CPE/WiFi management, account-sharing detection, and a customer self-service portal plus mobile app — one system instead of five.
Run ProxRad self-hosted on your own hardware or as a fully managed cloud SaaS. Either way you get a full REST API with API keys and an HA cluster option with 30-second failover to keep authentication online.
