Featured Reviews

Kannan Venkatraman - PeerSpot reviewer
Sales manager at Dyarco Technology W.L.L
Provides a lifetime warranty, is reliable, has good technical support, and includes security features
The stability is excellent. It comes with a lifetime warranty. Even if you're going through a difficult patch. If there is a failure in that scenario, it is very minor. We were never encountered that, but If it happens, it's probably due to a web party, such as a power fluctuation. Even our power supply includes a hardware replacement. As a result, there are no issues with the even power supply's lifetime warranty. In the general market, other competitor products, the power supply will not be covered, even though we are covering the power supply with a hardware replacement warranty. Which is where we have an advantage. Security features are included.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can use this solution for enterprise companies ranging from five to 5,000 users, and it is very versatile because you get both a cloud version and an on-premises version, so you can use it for unified communication."
"When you go on the website, everything is clear and you don't have to ask questions."
"The stability is excellent."
"The tool can work without distributor architecture or seller access points."
"The stability is excellent, it comes with a lifetime warranty, and even our power supply includes a hardware replacement, which gives us an advantage over competitor products where the power supply is not covered."
"It is easy to deploy, and it is not that complicated. There are a lot of systems that are very complicated, and they require a special kind of training. Their response is also very slow, especially with the Chinese vendors, but with Cambium, we have not faced any issues. Everything is going well in terms of cooperation from Cambium. We are happy with them, their services, their cooperation, and their quick response. They are just amazing."
"The solution's coverage range is good, it is easy to use, and deployment is very easy and user-friendly."
"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."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is more into the wireless and access points"
"It is easy to deploy and has many specialists to help us handle complicated processes."
"I find Cambium to be far more reliable; I've had the solution on my PC for three years now and haven't needed to do anything, it just keeps working."
"The features I appreciate most in Cambium Networks Wireless WAN include its licensing model."
"The performance is very good."
 

Cons

"Alcatel-Lucent Teldat needs to reduce its price."

"The range of the product is disappointing so far."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN's support services could be better."

"The Wifi coverage and throughput performance of Cambium could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't find this solution expensive but pricing is relative."
"The solution's licensing costs are one-time. It is not expensive. I rate its pricing a four out of ten. It provides us with a lifetime warranty."

"I rate the product price one on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
