Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 31, 2024

Huawei Wireless and Cambium Networks Wireless LAN are competitive products in the wireless LAN category. Huawei Wireless seems to have the advantage due to its rapid setup, coverage, and technology integration.

Reliable connectivity and robust support enhance customer experience

We are working with version 2.0, which is usually the latest one.Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is 100% reliable, as I have never faced any issues in our deployment after deployment, and the support is also very good. It takes a maximum of 15-20 minutes to configure one particular site of Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. The usual deployment process involves inspecting the hardware at our warehouse, dispatching it to the customer location, where the vendor installs the access point, and once it has internet, the configuration will be directly pushed from the cloud to the access point, making it up and running. Currently, around 100 plus of my customers are using this solution. My customers are a mix of medium and enterprise businesses. The least amount my customers usually pay is around $1,000, and the largest amount is approximately $10,000 per year. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Cambium Networks Wireless LAN a 9 overall.

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

"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is 100% reliable, as I have never faced any issues in our deployment after deployment, and the support is also very good."

"Cambium is more economical compared to Cisco or Ruckus, which makes it suitable for budget-conscious customers."

"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."

"The cloud-based management provided by Cambium Networks is particularly valuable to us, as it allows us to efficiently manage Wi-Fi, point-to-point connections, firewalls, and switches across various locations from a centralized platform. This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients."

"The after-sales services are helpful."

"What I like best about Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is that it's easy to configure, has no licensing hassle, and is a controller-based solution."

"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN pros

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."

"The solution is easy to set up."

"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."

"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."

"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."

"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."

More Huawei Wireless pros

Cons

"I would rate the initial setup of Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as seven out of ten. It's not easy to do some of the access point configurations sometimes, as the policy cannot be mapped easily, which is the reason for my rating."

"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"

"The solution’s technical support could be faster."

"What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better."

"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 product pricing needs improvement."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN cons

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"The stability could be improved."

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."

"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."

"Technical support could be better."

"They should include more security features in the solution."

"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."

More Huawei Wireless cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In general, the way we purchased it was we purchased it at the beginning, was with five years of support, once our initial cost was met, we didn't have to pay for anything else."

"If one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the product price as one."

"It's a good price, but not the best price. It's on the higher end of what I would call affordable for small to medium-sized businesses."

"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."

"It is an expensive product compared to other competitors."

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has a moderate pricing."

"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."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."

"The product has a good price."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."

"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.""
