Reliable performance and long-distance coverage enhance connectivity
We have been associated with Cambium since its days as a Motorola product, for more than 20 years. The solution offers excellent product performance, long-distance coverage, and link reliability. No nearby product is available for distance and performance that can compete with Cambium. The uptime and reliability of the product are also excellent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is highly scalable. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the network strength, which allows for coverage over a larger distance."
"The product's scalability features are good."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is more into the wireless and access points"
"The performance is very good."
"The feature that I really liked is the mesh feature. Currently, we are in quarantine, and the request of home users is that they need to cover the whole house or the whole indoor house. Mesh solution works really nice in Cambium environment. Being able to set up access points in advance is a good feature. It lets you set up the whole environment in your lab or any other place before deploying the access points."
"The pricing of the product is very, very reasonable."
"It is easy to deploy, and it is not that complicated. There are a lot of systems that are very complicated, and they require a special kind of training. Their response is also very slow, especially with the Chinese vendors, but with Cambium, we have not faced any issues. Everything is going well in terms of cooperation from Cambium. We are happy with them, their services, their cooperation, and their quick response. They are just amazing."
"HP Wireless offers competitive pricing compared to Cisco and Fortinet."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable features of this solution are it supports the newest virus technology, which helps with bandwidth, and is very stable."
"It is a new product backed by HPE's expertise in networking and telecommunications. We can also work with 3Com products."
"The tool is easy to manage."
"HPE Wireless is easy to use. Integration is not an issue. It is easy to integrate HPE Wireless with any operating system and other brands of switches."
"The WiFi and high scalability are the most valuable features."
"The performance is good."
 

Cons

"If someone wants to go to the location-based portal of the product, like the one available in Meraki, it would not be possible, and it is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution could improve indoor coverage strength. Based on our experience, there is no indoor coverage beyond 40 meters."
"The product could have more access points to increase the network coverage."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN could improve by providing a better signal range."
"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."
"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."
"If they could move from the fixed wireless point to mobile, it will make a big change in the market. The cnPilot coverage should be covering big spaces. It should also have an external antenna, not a built-in antenna."
"They could enhance the product's security features, particularly in analyzing and protecting against potential threats."
"Technical support could be improved. They could respond a bit faster."
"In the next release of the solution, there should be better integration with other platforms."
"Scalability is an aspect of this product that should be improved."
"The solution works smoothly unless more than twenty users connect to a single access point, at which point it becomes overloaded."
"It should be a faster device."
"The sales sync should connect with and sync up with the customers."
"Mostly, I face problems with client connectivity and some devices, like Android."
"HPE Wireless WAN could provide better access points and better pricing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
