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.

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.

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

"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."

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

"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."

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

"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."

"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."

"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."

"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."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN pros

"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."

"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."

"The solution is easy to set up."

"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."

"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."

More Huawei Wireless pros

Cons

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

"The direct technical support from Cambium teams needs to be improved."

"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’s technical support could be faster."

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

"The problem with the tool is that its prices are on the higher end."

"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."

"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN cons

"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."

"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."

"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."

"The solution could be easier to use."

"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."

"The scalability could be better."

"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."

"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."

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."

"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."

"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."

"High-end products from Cambium PTP, point-to-point radio, maybe cost around $1000 per year."

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

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has a moderate pricing."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."

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