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.
Shahnawaz Nusrat - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Technical Operations at ITE
Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management
We have deployed Huawei CCTV solutions at multiple universities in Pakistan. This includes Huawei Wireless for Smart Campus projects, where we provide blanket Wi-Fi coverage and Safe Campus projects, where we deploy security cameras and multiple devices to monitor the campus Huawei Wireless has…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides strong coverage for outdoor areas."
"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"Cambium, in my opinion, completely outperforms them."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"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."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"The product's initial setup phase is very simple and involves just a PnP process."
"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."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"The solution's roaming feature is very nice; when you move to another place it automatically changes the access point, and it's one of the most valuable features."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"Overall, we've been quite pleased with the solution and its capabilities as well as its pricing."
 

Cons

"The problem with the tool is that its prices are on the higher end."
"The solution’s technical support could be faster."
"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"I do not see any benefits compared with other products. I do not see things which Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has and the others do not."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"I do not see any benefits compared with other products. I do not see things which Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has and the others do not."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"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."
"The scalability could be better."
"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is much cheaper than Meraki. For example, I have to pay $200 for one AP from Cambium, while for a Meraki AP, I have to pay $450 including the user license. Meraki has a higher price over Cambium Networks Wireless LAN."
"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."
"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."
"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."
"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."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is cheaper than Aruba."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"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.""
"The product has a good price."
"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
