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.

They have good specs, and the price is lower than competing solutions
Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development. They could also enhance the reporting capabilities. At the same time, Omada's reporting has improved considerably in the latest version. That was an issue for us, but now it seems okay. More carrier-grade integrations should be available on Omada access points in the future. They could also add a hot spot and maybe a mobile upload solution. I still have issues from time to time when switching access points. I'm still connected to the SSID, but my signal drops when I switch from 5 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz. I'm not switched to the other access point that is closer to me. I should have been switched automatically to the other access point. Occasionally, the handoff doesn't work. I have tried this with WiFi 6, and it worked fine, so I think they may have resolved this issue in the latest versions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The after-sales services are helpful."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"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 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 product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"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."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"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 initial setup is not complicated."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology."
"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable."
"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer."
 

Cons

"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"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."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"Channel management required manual intervention, especially in environments with multiple floors, leading to potential signal interference issues."
"The direct technical support from Cambium teams needs to be improved."
"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price."
"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
 

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 is an expensive product compared to other competitors."
"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."
"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 is cheaper than Aruba."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"There is no need to pay for the licensing costs since my company is in South Africa. Omada Access Points can be termed as a medium-priced product."
"On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
