Recently we have received a lot of queries on whether Radiator AAA would be a good solution for replacing Cisco CPAR (Cisco Prime Access Registrar). As it is known, Cisco CPAR has a released end of support date in October 2024, after which it will not receive software maintenance updates. Therefore many operators are looking to replace their existing CPAR setups with alternative established robust AAA solutions. If you are among these companies, Radiator AAA is the solution for you.
