Featured Reviews

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.
Fahad Doguwa - PeerSpot reviewer
Deputy Manager at Central Bank of Nigeria
Affordable platform with efficient analytics features
Huawei adapters have facilitated seamless integration with mobile devices, extending the LAN's reach. Additionally, including CampusInsight, a component offering analytics and visibility into wireless connectivity, has proven invaluable. This feature enables us to monitor network health and troubleshoot user-related issues efficiently. The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations. I advise others to go for Cisco if cost is not a factor. Otherwise, they can explore other options based on the availability of that OEM within the country. We have Huawei present in our country and provide all the necessary support, so we went forward with them. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."
"The product's initial setup phase is very simple and involves just a PnP process."
"The after-sales services are helpful."
"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."
"They have excellent support."
"What I like best about Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is that it's easy to configure, has no licensing hassle, and is a controller-based solution."
"Meraki products are better than Cambium Networks Wireless LAN because the quality of the Wi-Fi is better, and it is easier to manage."
"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"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."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"It can scale."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"The solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, it works very well, it does not crash, and the performance is very good, and so far we have not received any complaints or any faulty hardware or anything."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
 

Cons

"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"
"What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"Channel management required manual intervention, especially in environments with multiple floors, leading to potential signal interference issues."
"Obviously, one of the reasons we're getting ready to upgrade the equipment is that it's five years old."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"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."
"The scalability could be better."
"I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is cheaper than Aruba."
"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"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."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"It is very cost-effective."
