Md Anwar Hossain - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Manager Cambium Products at AFCwave
Uses zero-touch provisioning to simplify deployment and reduce reliance on technical expertise
Cambium should improve the product lineup for Cambium Networks Wireless WAN. Currently, when comparing it with other OEMs, the first lineup includes a product called 2x2 MU-MIMO, and if a customer needs a 4x4 MU-MIMO, they must go for a higher model. There should be an available model with a minimum cost in between. Both on-premises and cloud deployment models are applicable for Cambium Networks Wireless WAN, as both on-premises and cloud environments are used for deployment. The dynamic frequency selection is useful because there is an Auto RF feature that automatically and dynamically changes the channel to reduce interference, managing all aspects of the dynamic frequency.

Centralized features have simplified deployment and improved day-to-day network management
One of the best features of HPE Wireless WAN is Wi-Fi Direct, as it provides dual-band frequency and helps to connect Bluetooth with IoT devices. I am comfortable with this feature and find it beneficial for connectivity. I use centralized management features such as WLC. They have improved operational efficiency significantly. It is one of the best tools we have for centralized management because it is easy to manage, manually delete, and create sites. This makes it easy to implement policies across the network. I see measurable benefits from this centralized solution, which is quite easy to handle as people are comfortable managing the tool. Users do not need hardcore technical expertise to operate it on a day-to-day basis, making it quite comfortable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support has been good."
"It's a good product and works well when there is a lot of interference."
"My advice to others is they should choose the cloud version of Cambium instead of going with Unify or Aruba."
"The pricing of the product is very, very reasonable."
"It is a good product for cloud management."
"From what I have experienced so far, I would recommend the solution to other organizations."
"What I find valuable is the fact that you don't need to purchase any license. Basically you just get the hardware for the access points, configure an IP and connect it with a switch."
"The solution's coverage range is good, it is easy to use, and deployment is very easy and user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of this solution are it supports the newest virus technology, which helps with bandwidth, and is very stable."
"The reliability is good."
"We've found the scalability to be good."
"I like their features, such as reliability and high availability, and their network is more highly available compared to Cisco and others because they have features like Mobility Master and Mobility Conductors, and their solution is more stable compared to Cisco and others."
"HPE Wireless WAN provides reliable connectivity."
"The main benefit of this product is the lifetime warranty, up to 99 years."
"What's most valuable in HPE Wireless WAN is that it works fine for customers with existing HPE controllers."

Cons

"They could enhance the product's security features, particularly in analyzing and protecting against potential threats."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN could improve by providing a better signal range."
"The solution could improve indoor coverage strength. Based on our experience, there is no indoor coverage beyond 40 meters."
"The range of the product is disappointing so far."
"I did not like this solution from the get go and have no interest in it, as it is entirely not good for the end-user."
"Customer support for Cambium Networks Wireless WAN in our country is very poor. Their technical support is limited because there is no country office or principal office in our country."
"Integration might be improved, particularly with a single sign-on for Active Directory."
"In the next release of the solution, there should be better integration with other platforms."
"I would say that the integration with other vendors in areas such as management or the visibility of other vendors in the management tools could be improved."
"Scalability is an aspect of this product that should be improved."
"HPE should improve performance and stability."
