Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 31, 2024

Huawei Wireless and Cambium Networks Wireless LAN are competitive products in the wireless LAN category. Huawei Wireless seems to have the advantage due to its rapid setup, coverage, and technology integration.

Cambium Networks Wireless LAN highlights its autonomous network architecture, removing the need for a controller, distributed network management, and extensive outdoor coverage.

Provides efficient, controllerless setup and supports high client numbers

Cambium Networks Wireless LAN was well-priced and offered a controllerless setup, which was more unusual at the time we first used them. This meant they could operate independently without a controller, unlike many other products that required a controller. Also, they had a software-based controller or management system that we initially used. The product was scalable, allowing for fewer access points to cover more area, and supported a high number of clients. We were able to deploy them across multiple sites within a limited timeframe, thanks to their efficient setup process.

More Huawei Wireless pros

Cons

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."

"The direct technical support from Cambium teams needs to be improved."

"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."

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

"Cambium currently lacks such extensive analytics capabilities."

"The product pricing needs improvement."

"We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment."

"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN cons

"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. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive."

"The manageability could be improved."

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."

"Cloud integration needs to be improved."

"The solution could be easier to use."

"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."

"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."

"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."

More Huawei Wireless cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive product compared to other competitors."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"The pricing and licensing might vary based on each country's specific needs and telecommunication regulations."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

"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."

"Right now, my company made a one-time purchase of Huawei Wireless. It depends, but in most of the projects where customers buy hardware with some software, it's a one-time purchase. Customers pay a yearly fee for other projects for support and additional software features, such as email protection firmware updates for cybersecurity. You'll also receive information about the latest attacks and get more protection if you pay an additional fee apart from the standard license fee. You'll also get an additional warranty for Huawei Wireless, a yearly contract."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."

"It is very cost-effective."

"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."

"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
