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.

They have good specs, and the price is lower than competing solutions
Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development. They could also enhance the reporting capabilities. At the same time, Omada's reporting has improved considerably in the latest version. That was an issue for us, but now it seems okay. More carrier-grade integrations should be available on Omada access points in the future. They could also add a hot spot and maybe a mobile upload solution. I still have issues from time to time when switching access points. I'm still connected to the SSID, but my signal drops when I switch from 5 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz. I'm not switched to the other access point that is closer to me. I should have been switched automatically to the other access point. Occasionally, the handoff doesn't work. I have tried this with WiFi 6, and it worked fine, so I think they may have resolved this issue in the latest versions.

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 easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"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 is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"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."
"They have excellent support."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based management option, as it is very convenient to manage and this product is easy to use."
"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable."
"The performance and availability of Omada Access Points have met our business needs, particularly in improving network control and facilitating direct access for developers to branch services."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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 solution’s technical support could be faster."
"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 should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"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."
"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
"Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."
"We have not been satisfied with the performance of TP-Link Auranet EAP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive product compared to other competitors."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is cheaper than Aruba."
"If one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the product price as one."
"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."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN has a moderate pricing."
"High-end products from Cambium PTP, point-to-point radio, maybe cost around $1000 per year."
"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."
"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."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
"The cost of Omada is much better than Aruba and Cisco, and it does what we need it to do in most cases. Around 10 percent of our clients need a more carrier-grade solution for mobile platforms."
"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
