Senior Manager Solutions at iBus Network & Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.
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.

AI insights have improved wireless visibility and now proactively prevent network issues
I am somewhat uncertain about the room for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points because I am sure that some concepts will be incorporated in the future. Recently, HP acquired Juniper, and now under the HP umbrella, we have both Aruba and Juniper Mist, which raises questions about how to compete in the market. Customers often ask me to compare them, and I have to pitch both even though they are from the same organization. Regarding gaps for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points, I think pricing is a complicated issue since Cisco can drastically reduce prices, unlike Juniper.
