Do SpectraLink wireless telephones support 802.1x based security provisions like EAP-TLS or LEAP?
SpectraLink has evaluated a number 802.1x security methods. These advanced methods require a back-end authentication server to authenticate users and generate new keys. This authentication and re-keying process can take up to several seconds and is required each time a user roams from one access point to the next. While this is taking place, the Wireless Telephone is not associated to an access point and there is an interruption in the voice transmission. Because this delay in the authentication process is unacceptable for a voice conversation, SpectraLink wireless telephones do not support 802.1x authentication.
