Md Anwar Hossain - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Manager Cambium Products at AFCwave
Uses zero-touch provisioning to simplify deployment and reduce reliance on technical expertise
Cambium should improve the product lineup for Cambium Networks Wireless WAN. Currently, when comparing it with other OEMs, the first lineup includes a product called 2x2 MU-MIMO, and if a customer needs a 4x4 MU-MIMO, they must go for a higher model. There should be an available model with a minimum cost in between. Both on-premises and cloud deployment models are applicable for Cambium Networks Wireless WAN, as both on-premises and cloud environments are used for deployment. The dynamic frequency selection is useful because there is an Auto RF feature that automatically and dynamically changes the channel to reduce interference, managing all aspects of the dynamic frequency.

Centralized features have simplified deployment and improved day-to-day network management
One of the best features of HPE Wireless WAN is Wi-Fi Direct, as it provides dual-band frequency and helps to connect Bluetooth with IoT devices. I am comfortable with this feature and find it beneficial for connectivity. I use centralized management features such as WLC. They have improved operational efficiency significantly. It is one of the best tools we have for centralized management because it is easy to manage, manually delete, and create sites. This makes it easy to implement policies across the network. I see measurable benefits from this centralized solution, which is quite easy to handle as people are comfortable managing the tool. Users do not need hardcore technical expertise to operate it on a day-to-day basis, making it quite comfortable.

Cons

"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is stable but sometimes the 2.4 gigahertz network is sometimes not as stable as the 5 gigahertz. The 5 gigahertz works smoothly with everything, but 2.4 has some problems. If we change the configuration I am not sure if it would fix the problem."
"The Wifi coverage and throughput performance of Cambium could improve."
"It is kind of hard to get these solutions immediately. It is a bit challenging to bring these devices to Lima, Peru, or to get Cambium from the distributors."

"One drawback is that Cambium's on-premises controller needs internet connectivity for installation, which can be a problem for clients who want it offline."
"I think this product could be improved if It were SMS based. If I have a visitor in my office, I'd like to be able to send them the wireless password as a message via SMS, so I don't have to give it out."
"Pricing tends to be higher than its competitors but that's really all I have to complain about."
"The range of the product is disappointing so far."
"The license cost of the product is an area where the prices are neither expensive nor cheap, leaving a scope for the prices to be lowered further."
"The sales sync should connect with and sync up with the customers."
"HPE should improve performance and stability."
"Technical support is appalling."
"Technical support could be improved. They could respond a bit faster."
"The solution works smoothly unless more than twenty users connect to a single access point, at which point it becomes overloaded."
