Support for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiatives in enterprise, education, retail and other verticals is a necessity today as smart phones and tablets use gain in popularity. Expectations by users to connect from anywhere to secure 802.1X wireless and wired networks at work or on campus is just as popular.One of the most complicated parts is device configuration to support 802.1X, as it is a challenge to reach all users and devices in a timely manner. ClearPass QuickConnect changes this by dramatically simplifying device configuration by providing a user-driven configuration wizard that can be reached from anywhere.The user is prompted for login credentials and then follows a step-by-step procedure to configure SSIDs, wired attributes and 802.1X settings on Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, and Android devices. Minutes later, the device is ready to go.This uniquely simplified workflow, facilitates and accelerates bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiatives, propagates the deployment of more secure 802.1X network access, and reduces helpdesk calls and IT overhead.
