The fact that RADIUSdesk is more than a decade old and still going strong while many similar projects died a slow death should speak for itself.
Deployed around the globe, this system is used everyday to help provide Internet to thousands of users.
After Dirk van der Walt completed the FreeRADIUS Beginners Guide for Packt Publishers in 2010 he took that knowledge along with modern design principles to start work on RADIUSdesk in 2012.
Development on MESHdesk as a fully Open Source alternative to Meraki and OpenMesh with Cloudtrax started in 2013.
APdesk was added to manage OpenWrt based access points where mesh networks were not required.
Fast forward to today where the system evolved to be working with the latest versions of all the components involved.
