Satellite POP · IPAM & RADIUS
Subscriber authentication and IP management, engineered together.
Bring IMSI-based authentication, address allocation, RADIUS server health and subscriber mappings into one operational view. Mobilware POP environments can use redundant FreeRADIUS-based services and centralized configuration management, helping engineers understand which terminal is authorized, which address it receives and how the network is performing.

One source of truth
Subscriber, address and authorization data in one place.
Faster troubleshooting
Look up an IMSI and see its address, session and history.
Resilient authentication
Independent RADIUS nodes with coordinated configuration.
Capabilities
What engineers see
IP pool utilization
Capacity and usage per pool, with warning levels.
Subnet inventory
Assigned and unassigned addresses, dedicated and dynamic ranges.
IMSI lookup
Find which address and policy a subscriber receives.
RADIUS node status
Health and replication state of primary and secondary nodes.
Active sessions
Current sessions per subscriber, pool and customer.
Alerts & audit log
Configuration changes and exceptions, recorded with who and when.
How it works
Authentication sequence
- 01
Session request
The satellite network forwards an access request with the subscriber identity.
- 02
Authorize
RADIUS validates the IMSI against the authorized subscriber list.
- 03
Assign
An address is returned from the customer's dedicated or dynamic pool.
- 04
Account
Session start/stop records support monitoring and usage workflows.
Security
Secrets stay private
Shared secrets, credentials and private topology are never exposed in portals or documentation shared externally.
Role-based access
Lookup and change rights are limited to authorized engineering roles.
Audit trail
Every mapping and pool change is logged.
FAQ
Questions we're often asked
Is FreeRADIUS mandatory?
Mobilware POP environments can use FreeRADIUS-based services. Other designs can be discussed as part of an architecture review.
Can customers have dedicated address ranges?
Yes. IPAM supports dedicated and dynamic allocations mapped to customers.
How are the RADIUS nodes kept consistent?
Configuration is coordinated via POP Manager where deployed, and replication state is visible in the monitoring view.
