 If you already have a RADIUS server then you may be able to configure it to act as an ORPS at no extra cost. If the software doesn't allow it, or you want to separate your services then the ORPS you add will only be handling the authentication requests destined/source to/from offsite, which will by about 1% of your total authentication requests. If you already have a RADIUS server then you may be able to configure it to act as an ORPS at no extra cost.

-As for the software - any modern RADIUS server can handle Govroam. There are no odd requirements. Having said that through, there should be a preference for servers which can handle Server Status (for resilience), CUI (Chargeable User Identity for audit), Operator-Name (for logging) and RADSEC (for the future).+As for the software - any modern RADIUS server can handle Govroam.

 If you value the service then resilience should be considered. At least two RADIUS servers at each level are recommended and three is quite common. Many RADIUS servers (and wireless controllers) offer load balancing options so hardware load balancers shouldn't be needed. The servers themselves are generally stateless and require no intercommunication.  If you value the service then resilience should be considered.
