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

"The solution's most valuable feature is the network strength, which allows for coverage over a larger distance."
"The initial setup is easy to handle. It's quite simple."
"The solution offers excellent product performance, long-distance coverage, and link reliability."
"The most valuable features of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN are cloud management and links."
"My advice to others is they should choose the cloud version of Cambium instead of going with Unify or Aruba."
"In terms of performance, even in small items, everything is very good."
"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."
"One could say that Cambium is a scalable solution."
"What's most valuable in HPE Wireless WAN is that it works fine for customers with existing HPE controllers."
"The performance is good and it is easy to use."
"We primarily use this solution to back up everything and we use it for sharing files."
"The solution is easy to use, very user-friendly, and the access point capabilities are good."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable features of HPE Wireless WAN are high quality and capability."
"The most important is that the solution is stable."
"The main benefit of this product is the lifetime warranty, up to 99 years. For example, if your switch card fails after 10 years, and the hardware fails, it will be replaced with the very same switch or the equivalent model available at the time."
 

Cons

"The product could have more access points to increase the network coverage."
"Pricing tends to be higher than its competitors but that's really all I have to complain about."
"The installation is difficult."
"Cambium's solution is flexible for various connectivity needs, although there are limitations based on the specific equipment and metrics. The indoor coverage typically reaches up to sixty meters and may require external antennas for optimal performance and for outdoor connectivity, Cambium Networks offer excellent scalability and coverage, especially with sectorial access points."
"The installation and configuration are a bit complex."
"If someone wants to go to the location-based portal of the product, like the one available in Meraki, it would not be possible, and it is an area that needs improvement."
"More high bandwidth is required. A more high throughput radio is necessary."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"I would like for it to be faster. It should be a faster device."
"Scalability is an aspect of this product that should be improved."
"The solution works smoothly unless more than twenty users connect to a single access point, at which point it becomes overloaded."
"There are some areas that need improvement, such as connectivity issues and additional features that other products have."
"Technical support could be improved. They could respond a bit faster."
"The HPE Wireless dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The price of HPE Wireless WAN should be reduced."
"It's very old-fashioned, which is why we have made the decision to replace it."

"There are no licensing fees, it's a one-time cost."
"The price is affordable."
"Its price is in the middle range."
