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.

Well-suited for mobile and portable device usage but issues with stability

The problem is that when the number of users increases, TP-Link automatically drops the speed, and in terms of coverage, it falls short. We are not using any industrial-level equipment or accuracy. We are looking for something at the industrial level, advanced Access Points, not the basic ones from TP-Link. Omada Access Points could be improved in terms of connectivity and speed. That is the main thing. The other thing is security. Currently, most people are sharing their passwords, allowing unauthorized users to access Wi-Fi networks. So, the main areas for improvement are security, accessibility, and speed.

Cons

"The product pricing needs improvement."

"Channel management required manual intervention, especially in environments with multiple floors, leading to potential signal interference issues."

"I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration."

"Channel management required manual intervention, especially in environments with multiple floors, leading to potential signal interference issues."

"Cambium currently lacks such extensive analytics capabilities."

"The capacity and coverage could be improved."

"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."

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

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN cons

"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."

"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."

"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."

"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."

"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."

"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."

"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."

"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the product price as one."

"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."

"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is cheaper than Aruba."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"I would place it in the mid-range market segment, balancing affordability and profitability."

"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."

"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."

"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."

"There is no need to pay for the licensing costs since my company is in South Africa. Omada Access Points can be termed as a medium-priced product."
