What is most valuable?

The ease of management is the solution's most valuable feature.

The user interface is much better than older versions.

What needs improvement?

We're in the phase of deploying a new system, so I can't speak to what might be lacking in the solution just yet.

I'm curious to see how Wi-Fi 6 will function. You have access points supporting Wi-Fi 6, but no clients know about it really.

Pricing is very high with Cisco products. It's something that many people complain about. They should work to make it more affordable.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for 20 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The older version was very stable; I'm hoping the newest version will also be stable.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is very good.

How was the initial setup?

Deployment is easy. We're doing it in stages so as to not disrupt any service and are in the process now, so I can't speak to exactly how long it will ultimately be as a process.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Cisco pricing is very expensive.

What other advice do I have?

Our clients are mostly enterprise-level companies.

Our first test of the solution will be to see how the new features are implemented in Wi-Fi 6. The new access point is smaller than the previous one, and I find it's very good, very pleasant, because the 3700, and especially the 3800 were very, very weak.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. If the pricing was better, I'd rate it ten out of ten.

Best support for high speeds, once we got through the module compatibility issues.
Pros and Cons
  • "Cisco LTE WWAN provides an easy way to setup a high speed, robust and secure network with speeds of 100Mbps and above."
  • "While deploying the module, we had to struggle with the telemetry system server setup as it had some module compatibility issues with tracking system"

Valuable Features:

1.One of the reasons we selected this WWAN modem is the underlying support for all the high speed modules and speed which is higher than 100Mbps. 2.Can be used to easily setup a high speed ISP or mobile network 3.Another deciding factor was the support for large number of devices that can interoperate easily with Cisco WWAN card 4. Failover support. There is a secondary link which can take over in case the primary goes down. 5.It provides transparent handoff support for devices which are using older technologies. 6.Provides higher bandwidth to support high definition video calls. 7.Supports advanced features like quality of service (QoS)

Room for Improvement:

While deploying the module, we had to struggle with the telemetry system server setup as it had some module compatibility issues with tracking system

Other Advice:

Cisco LTE WWAN provides an easy way to setup an high speed, robust and secure network with speeds of 100Mbps and above. It supports a large number of network devices and can easily integrate with devices running on older technologies as well. We tested the HD video call feature as well and found it to be of very good in terms of video, voice quality and overall speed. We faced some module compatibility issues with Cisco WWAN while setting up the telemetry system server setup. Overall a good product and provides large number of features for providing high speed network.

IPv4 4G WWAN Module
Pros and Cons
  • "This product is fulfilling our technological requirements to setup a high speed 4G environment in a large ISP / Mobile network."
  • "When I tried to setup in Cisco ASA 5500 series IPv6 network then I faced a module compatibility issue."

Valuable Features:

This product is fulfilling our technological requirements to setup a high speed 4G environment in a large ISP / Mobile network. Easily manage and configure in existing network without any changes. This module provides automatic secondary link whenever the main link is down.

Room for Improvement:

When I tried to setup in Cisco ASA 5500 series IPv6 network then I faced a module compatibility issue. Cisco will remove this obstacle in future. It is not possible to setup a GPS tracking system and telemetry system server with this module.
