Reliable connectivity and robust support enhance customer experience

We are working with version 2.0, which is usually the latest one.Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is 100% reliable, as I have never faced any issues in our deployment after deployment, and the support is also very good. It takes a maximum of 15-20 minutes to configure one particular site of Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. The usual deployment process involves inspecting the hardware at our warehouse, dispatching it to the customer location, where the vendor installs the access point, and once it has internet, the configuration will be directly pushed from the cloud to the access point, making it up and running. Currently, around 100 plus of my customers are using this solution. My customers are a mix of medium and enterprise businesses. The least amount my customers usually pay is around $1,000, and the largest amount is approximately $10,000 per year. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Cambium Networks Wireless LAN a 9 overall.

Wireless projects run smoothly with more access point support and competitive pricing

D-Link Wireless offers more supported APs to the WLC with the default license compared to other brands like Cisco. With Cisco, only four to five APs are connected with the default license, but D-Link Wireless provides more flexibility. Local support in Pakistan is necessary for those with limited budgets, creating a reach in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is 100% reliable, as I have never faced any issues in our deployment after deployment, and the support is also very good."

"The cloud-based management provided by Cambium Networks is particularly valuable to us, as it allows us to efficiently manage Wi-Fi, point-to-point connections, firewalls, and switches across various locations from a centralized platform. This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients."

"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."

"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."

"We can scale it if we need to."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN pros

"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."

Cons

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."

"The solution’s technical support could be faster."

"Channel management required manual intervention, especially in environments with multiple floors, leading to potential signal interference issues."

"Cambium currently lacks such extensive analytics capabilities."

"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."

"Channel management required manual intervention, especially in environments with multiple floors, leading to potential signal interference issues."

"I would rate the initial setup of Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as seven out of ten. It's not easy to do some of the access point configurations sometimes, as the policy cannot be mapped easily, which is the reason for my rating."

"Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN cons

"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."

"The tool's technical support can get difficult sometimes. We got a technician only after complaining for 10-15 days. The tool's technicians need to be made available everywhere."

"Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password)."

"D-Link Wireless’s stability needs improvement."

"The solution's performance could be improved."

"The solution doesn't have hotspots. Users can't set it up so that visitors can log in via Facebook or social media as they can at, for example, airports. D-Link should include hotspots that offer integration with social media. That way, visitors don't need to be asking people for passwords. They can just use Facebook."

"D-Link Wireless should include the 'cleaner' feature similar to Cisco's APs. This feature reduces signal interference with access points."

"The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration."

More D-Link Wireless cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is cheaper than Aruba."

"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."

"The pricing for Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is much cheaper than Meraki. For example, I have to pay $200 for one AP from Cambium, while for a Meraki AP, I have to pay $450 including the user license. Meraki has a higher price over Cambium Networks Wireless LAN."

"The licensing costs for this solution are calculated per asset, and depending on the model of the equipment, it starts at $230, and goes up to roughly $1,200. The benefit of this solution is that there are no hidden costs; no cost for managing the equipment, and no cost for maintaining the equipment during its usable lifetime."

"If one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the product price as one."

"High-end products from Cambium PTP, point-to-point radio, maybe cost around $1000 per year."

"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."

"It's a good price, but not the best price. It's on the higher end of what I would call affordable for small to medium-sized businesses."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

"There is no licensing fee for the solution."

"The cost can range from $100 to $400."

"D-Link Wireless' price is the same as Aruba's. You need to pay one-time costs for the product."

"The product is affordable."

"D-Link pricing is very competitive when you consider other OEMs."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
