Featured Reviews

Kannan Venkatraman - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Reliable performance and long-distance coverage enhance connectivity
We have been associated with Cambium since its days as a Motorola product, for more than 20 years. The solution offers excellent product performance, long-distance coverage, and link reliability. No nearby product is available for distance and performance that can compete with Cambium. The uptime and reliability of the product are also excellent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is scalable. The XV2 model of the solution can support up to 216 people at a time."
"It is easy to deploy and has many specialists to help us handle complicated processes."
"The solution's coverage range is good, it is easy to use, and deployment is very easy and user-friendly."
"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."
"It is a good product for cloud management."
"Technical support has been good."
"The feature that I really liked is the mesh feature. Currently, we are in quarantine, and the request of home users is that they need to cover the whole house or the whole indoor house. Mesh solution works really nice in Cambium environment. Being able to set up access points in advance is a good feature. It lets you set up the whole environment in your lab or any other place before deploying the access points."
"It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"Alcatel-Lucent Teldat needs to reduce its price."
"I would like to see something for remote working."
"The price could be reduced."
"The solution could improve indoor coverage strength. Based on our experience, there is no indoor coverage beyond 40 meters."
"The installation and configuration are a bit complex."
"The solution's price could be better."
"It has voucher generation. These vouchers are provided to the customers. It would be great if there is a possibility to integrate these vouchers with the system that vendors use to print the receipts. For example, if you go to Starbucks, they provide you a receipt, and in that receipt, you have the code for the Wi-Fi network. I would like some kind of integration or API that can be integrated into any other system for generating such receipts. It would be a really nice feature. It has the cnMaestro portal that normally an integrator sets up. When you deploy this solution to a user, rather than generating a Cambium account, I would like to share this console with the users so that they can at least see the stability of the network and not necessarily trust what I said. It also allows the customers in visualizing the way that they are connecting and the way the network is behaving. I have been in touch with the Cambium team for these features, but they don't yet have the final answer. It is kind of hard to get these solutions immediately. It is a bit challenging to bring these devices to Lima, Peru, or to get Cambium from the distributors. They need to import these devices."
"The product could have more access points to increase the network coverage."
"More high bandwidth is required."
"The Cambium user interface and configuration should be improved."
"Pricing tends to be higher than its competitors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 don't find this solution expensive but pricing is relative."
"There are no licensing fees, it's a one-time cost."
"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."
"I rate Cambium Networks Wireless as 6 out of 10 since it is cheaper than its competitors like Ruckus, Cisco or Huawei."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is a free solution, we only pay for the hardware. The warranty of the hardware is for five years."
"When it comes to licensing costs we have been using the Cambium devices on a trial basis."
"I think the pricing is fine for Cambium."
"The price of this solution is expensive in Bangladesh. The cost is approximately 56,000 BDT for the XV2 which is expensive. They should reduce their price."
"There are not any licenses needed to use Cambium."
