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.

Featured Reviews

Mike Scofield - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides efficient, controllerless setup and supports high client numbers
Cambium Networks Wireless LAN was well-priced and offered a controllerless setup, which was more unusual at the time we first used them. This meant they could operate independently without a controller, unlike many other products that required a controller. Also, they had a software-based controller or management system that we initially used. The product was scalable, allowing for fewer access points to cover more area, and supported a high number of clients. We were able to deploy them across multiple sites within a limited timeframe, thanks to their efficient setup process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN was well-priced and offered a controllerless setup, which was more unusual at the time we first used them. This meant they could operate independently without a controller, unlike many other products that required a controller."
"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."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"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 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."
More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN pros
"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 is easy to set up."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"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."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
More Huawei Wireless pros
 

Cons

"The product pricing needs improvement."
"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 problem with the tool is that its prices are on the higher end."
"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."
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"The direct technical support from Cambium teams needs to be improved."
More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN cons
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."
"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"The scalability could be better."
"The stability could be improved."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
