Featured Reviews

CristianRatoi - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Technology at THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF MEDICINE
Reliable Wi-Fi has consistently supported our restaurant, hotel, conferences, and offices
All the features are the same for all of them. The main difference we realized is that Cisco works better than Cambium Networks Wireless LAN, and it is obviously easier to manage as well. Meraki products are better than Cambium Networks Wireless LAN because the quality of the Wi-Fi is better, and it is easier to manage.
Fahad Doguwa - PeerSpot reviewer
Deputy Manager at Central Bank of Nigeria
Affordable platform with efficient analytics features
Huawei adapters have facilitated seamless integration with mobile devices, extending the LAN's reach. Additionally, including CampusInsight, a component offering analytics and visibility into wireless connectivity, has proven invaluable. This feature enables us to monitor network health and troubleshoot user-related issues efficiently. The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations. I advise others to go for Cisco if cost is not a factor. Otherwise, they can explore other options based on the availability of that OEM within the country. We have Huawei present in our country and provide all the necessary support, so we went forward with them. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN was highly scalable, allowing deployment of fewer access points while covering more area, adapting well with the evolution of wireless standards."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."
"Our company started with the solution ten or so years ago and after that, we developed fast."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"It can scale."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions and it has one of the most competitive prices out there."
 

Cons

"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration."
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment."
"The capacity and coverage could be improved."
"Obviously, one of the reasons we're getting ready to upgrade the equipment is that it's five years old."
"The direct technical support from Cambium teams needs to be improved."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"The manageability could be improved."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"Technical support could be better."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"High-end products from Cambium PTP, point-to-point radio, maybe cost around $1000 per year."
"The pricing and licensing might vary based on each country's specific needs and telecommunication regulations."
"If one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the product price as one."
"It is an expensive product compared to other competitors."
"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The licensing costs for this solution are calculated per asset, and depending on the model of the equipment, it starts at $230, and goes up to roughly $1,200. The benefit of this solution is that there are no hidden costs; no cost for managing the equipment, and no cost for maintaining the equipment during its usable lifetime."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has a moderate pricing."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
