LucidLink Offers Free Small Office Security Package

By Glenn Fleishman

It’s pretty extraordinary when there’s competition for giving away security: On the small-office/home-office (SOHO) end of the market for Wi-Fi security products, there’s an increasing trend to just give away products that can help very small number of users in the hopes that those users then adopt the for-fee products when they grow in scale or need. But it’s a very nice development for SOHO warriors, to be sure.

LucidLink joins this trend by dropping the price of their three-user package for secure WLAN connections from $99 down to zero. My guess is that it was a hard sell for that user category, and that becomes a great test tool for offices considering LucidLink. They can hook up this three-user version as a test before buying a multi-seat license. The three-user limit is simultaneous users. More can be registered in the system.

LucidLink is a locally hosted 802.1X server package that uses proprietary client software for Windows 2000 and XP to make the connection. The server software requires Windows 2000 (any edition), XP, or Windows Server 2003.

The next step up is a 10-user version of LucidLink for $449.
