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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."
"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 is a stable and secure platform."
"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"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."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"At the moment, I only have experience with the on-premise deployment of Huawei Wireless, but the cloud solution looks good on paper. It looks perfect. I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods. My company has four devices running uptime for more than four years without stopping. I also like that the support for Huawei Wireless is swift, and support does precisely what you require, at least from the point of view of the technical engineer who communicated with Huawei support, as I'm more of a technical sales guy. Good technical support is vital to my company, partners, and customers. My company had this ongoing project with an ISP provider in Bulgaria that bought some routers. Still, the existing equipment was a completely different brand, so this provider wanted to migrate to Huawei Wireless and wanted help while migrating the existing infrastructure to Huawei, so the technical engineer assigned to raise the ticket with Huawei for checking and setting parameters correctly provided feedback about Huawei technical support being good quality-wise and TAT-wise. The technical engineer was also Cisco-certified and Juniper-certified and was not experienced with Huawei equipment. Still, he did mention that the Huawei Wireless router interface was straightforward, and even a person who's new to it would find it easy to configure. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly, which is another pro of the solution. It's easy to manage, and even the program language setting can be done with fewer commands than Juniper and Cisco equipment. Some of the features in Juniper need an external program, and the same features can be found in Huawei Wireless built-in, which I find remarkable."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"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."
"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."
"The direct technical support from Cambium teams needs to be improved."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"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."
"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"Technical support is not ideal. They sometimes cannot connect to the wireless access point or their connection drops."
"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. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."
"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."
"It is an expensive product compared to other competitors."
"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."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has a moderate pricing."
"The pricing and licensing might vary based on each country's specific needs and telecommunication regulations."
"If one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the product price as one."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is cheaper than Aruba."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It is very cost-effective."
"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 solution."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
