802.1X Network Authentication
Overview
802.1X is an enterprise security standard that controls which devices are allowed to connect to a network.
For RoomHub deployments, it ensures that only approved AV systems can access the corporate network, automatically and securely.
Remember to work with IT to confirm authentication methods, certificates, and VLAN policies.
Why It Matters
802.1X delivers immediate, tangible benefits for customers:
Prevents unauthorized devices from connecting to the network
Aligns AV systems with IT security policies
Reduces risk during audits and compliance reviews
Eliminates manual network configuration
Keeps AV, IT, and guest traffic securely separated
It’s a foundational requirement in enterprise, government, healthcare, and financial environments.
802.1X with RoomHub
RoomHub supports enterprise-grade 802.1X authentication on its network ports.
This means:
Devices authenticate automatically when connected
Access is granted only if credentials are valid
Failed or unsupported devices are isolated or blocked
Security is enforced without adding complexity to deployment.
Works with Enterprise IT
802.1X integrates cleanly with existing IT infrastructure, including:
Certificate-based authentication (EAP-TLS)
Username/password authentication (PEAP)
Controlled fallback for legacy devices (MAB)
This allows RoomHub to fit into even the most tightly managed networks.
In Summary
802.1X gives customers confidence that their AV systems are secure, compliant, and under control.
With RoomHub, enterprise-grade network security comes built in, protecting the network without slowing down deployment.
