Reliable wireless connectivity supports seamless hospital staff mobility
We use HPE Wireless WAN for hospital purposes. In our hospital, all the staff have laptops and move around, hence the need for wireless connectivity. We also provide guest access to patient rooms, including ICU rooms, where patients stay HPE Wireless WAN provides reliable connectivity. We use it…

Software controller is very nice and provides excellent performance
Ubiquiti products are really good. I am a B2B wholesaler, and my type of business requires profit to sell to my installers or for my installers to sell to the end customers. Right now, Ubiquiti doesn't offer that. They are selling the product on their website. We face difficulties with Ubiquiti's supply chain because their products are usually out of stock. I would recommend Ubiquiti Wireless as a brand. However, we are no longer recommending it in my business. I am a wholesaler who recommends installing wireless or network solutions for other companies. I no longer recommend Ubiquiti Wireless because it is not profitable. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

"The production is not very stable in our experience."
"The Unifi controller software has a small issue."
"One area of improvement could be the inclusion of conditional forwarding."

"This solution is cheaper compared to others."
"Its price is more attractive when compared to competitor pricing."
