CristianRatoi - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Technology at THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF MEDICINE
Reliable Wi-Fi has consistently supported our restaurant, hotel, conferences, and offices
All the features are the same for all of them. The main difference we realized is that Cisco works better than Cambium Networks Wireless LAN, and it is obviously easier to manage as well. Meraki products are better than Cambium Networks Wireless LAN because the quality of the Wi-Fi is better, and it is easier to manage.
Shahnawaz Nusrat - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Technical Operations at ITE
Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management
We have deployed Huawei CCTV solutions at multiple universities in Pakistan. This includes Huawei Wireless for Smart Campus projects, where we provide blanket Wi-Fi coverage and Safe Campus projects, where we deploy security cameras and multiple devices to monitor the campus Huawei Wireless has…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN was highly scalable, allowing deployment of fewer access points while covering more area, adapting well with the evolution of wireless standards."
"Meraki products are better than Cambium Networks Wireless LAN because the quality of the Wi-Fi is better, and it is easier to manage."
"The product's initial setup phase is very simple and involves just a PnP process."
"It is a stable and secure platform."
"Cambium, in my opinion, completely outperforms them."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"The solution's roaming feature is very nice; when you move to another place it automatically changes the access point, and it's one of the most valuable features."
"It is easy to set up."
"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."
"The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point."
 

Cons

"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
"Cambium currently lacks such extensive analytics capabilities."
"I do not see any benefits compared with other products. I do not see things which Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has and the others do not."
"The capacity and coverage could be improved."
"The problem with the tool is that its prices are on the higher end."
"Cambium's initial price is a problem because it is more expensive than the others, but if you calculate the total cost of ownership over three years, Cambium probably works out better because there are no license fees."
"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."
"The solution’s technical support could be faster."
"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected."
"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good."
"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is cheaper than Aruba."
"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."
"In general, the way we purchased it was we purchased it at the beginning, was with five years of support, once our initial cost was met, we didn't have to pay for anything else."
"It is an expensive product compared to other competitors."
"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."
"High-end products from Cambium PTP, point-to-point radio, maybe cost around $1000 per year."
"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."
"The product has a good price."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
