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.

Deployment meets needs with simple setup while improving customer support
We have deployed FortiGate 200F and 600E firewalls. The 600E was installed four years ago and is still running, and we deployed another 200F last year. We are continually adding base stations and wireless APs across our company network. For new users, there is a learning curve regarding installation, IP configuration, and technical issues. Since we have been using it since 2018, troubleshooting is not difficult for us. We have a server on premises that controls all the APs across our company. We have approximately 400 to 500 WiFi users across our company. We are not currently considering a different solution as it would require extra investment, which would cost too much for us now. I would rate Cambium Networks Wireless WAN a seven out of ten. Overall review rating: 5/10

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool can work without distributor architecture or seller access points."
"The stability is excellent."
"When you go on the website, everything is clear and you don't have to ask questions."
"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 offers excellent product performance, long-distance coverage, and link reliability."
"The initial setup is easy to handle. It's quite simple."
"The performance is very good."
"It is a good product for cloud management."
"Cambium Networks' PowerMax feature has been particularly beneficial for WAN connectivity, offering superior coverage compared to other solutions. The standout feature of Cambium Networks for me is its extensive coverage area."
"The product's scalability features are good."
"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."
 

Cons

"The price could be reduced."
"I would like to see something for remote working."
"Alcatel-Lucent Teldat needs to reduce its price."
"The installation is difficult."
"The installation and configuration are a bit complex."
"I think this product could be improved if It were SMS based. If I have a visitor in my office, I'd like to be able to send them the wireless password as a message via SMS, so I don't have to give it out."
"The Wifi coverage and throughput performance of Cambium could improve."
"The range of the product is disappointing so far."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is stable but sometimes the 2.4 gigahertz network is sometimes not as stable as the 5 gigahertz. The 5 gigahertz works smoothly with everything, but 2.4 has some problems. If we change the configuration I am not sure if it would fix the problem."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN's support services could be better."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't find this solution expensive but pricing is relative."
"There is a one-time licensing fee. There is no need to renew it."
"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’s pricing a two out of ten."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"The solution's licensing cost depends on the number of nodes."
"The licensing part of the solution is not very expensive."
"Pricing is fair enough."
"I rate Cambium Networks Wireless as 6 out of 10 since it is cheaper than its competitors like Ruckus, Cisco or Huawei."
"When it comes to licensing costs we have been using the Cambium devices on a trial basis."
