Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management

Reliable wireless coverage has supported busy operations and has improved daily connectivity
We have areas that are interference-prone. I am not using BeamFlex technology with Ruckus Wireless. We are satisfied, but there are some problems in the current Ruckus Wireless solution that we could not solve two years ago, and we are still waiting for a solution. These are lateral management problems, and we solved them with another type of tools. However, I do not know if the new versions of the product have resolved that issue. We had approximately 150 access points at that time, so we had many points to change. We had another solution five years ago, and we changed all the access points to Ruckus Wireless solution as well as the Ruckus Wireless platform to manage all the access points.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."
"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"The product is easy to use, the signal is very stable with very good performance, and for network devices it is great."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"The Unleashed is a 10 out of 10."
"It's just been a solid performer for us."
"All IPs can be managed and monitored by the customer from a single console."
"Ruckus Wireless is reliable. The most valuable features are BeamFlex technology, Wi-Fi 6, and channel management."
"The controller is most valuable. Through Ruckus ZoneDirector, we can easily manage the websites and the web."
"Ruckus, as a company, offers an absolute good product."
"The most valuable feature of Ruckus Wireless is its AI capability, which automatically scales up and down the coverage areas."
"The features of Ruckus Wireless that I have found the most valuable are sustainability, performance, and I think this has been a good experience to work with Ruckus Wireless."
 

Cons

"The stability could be improved."
"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."
"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."
"The manageability could be improved."
"From the user point of view, sometimes we face a little bit of a challenge in terms of the channels selection for Ruckus."
"The cloud solution is not mature enough."
"The price could be improved."
"They should work to make their licensing more affordable."
"The cloud controller needs work. My big issue is that all APs can't set static IPs. Also, adding customers to your dashboard is not that easy at all. I wish I could pop out some reporting from the dashboards as well."
"The response time of the support team needs to improve"
"I think it would be nice if Ruckus offered the option of a cloud interface for easy configuration of Ruckus Wireless."
"From my point of view, portal features are something missing in Ruckus Wireless. I want to see Ruckus Wireless integrate a Wi-Fi portal into its product. This would allow for easier user authentication for vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"It is very cost-effective."
"The price is high and I give the price a four out of ten."
"Its price is reasonable for me."
"I would rate their pricing 3 out of 5. There is no annual licensing cost."
"The only complaint I have about Ruckus is the price, but considering other enterprise WiFi products are similarly priced, I feel Ruckus is a superior product."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"It depends on the client. You have an initial license cost that you need to buy to bind the access point with the controller. This is a one-time fee. You also have to pay the support fee that, if I remember correctly, is about $25 per access point. Its pricing and licensing can be improved."
"​The cost can be prohibitive for many as it is a high-end product in the WiFi market.​"
"It is a pricey solution."

Hi, You can purchase WiFi access points from any of the above vendors. But it must be a commercial access point as in AP a few connect to the limited devices and a few can connect large devices with a single AP. It will totally depend on your work environment and access point signals covering the area. In the hall, AP can cover a large area but there is a concrete wall between two rooms or a corridor then it can down the signal to 50 DBM. So, when deciding on a WIFI/AP keep all these things in mind.

If you want high performance and stability, you should definitely go with Ruckus Wireless.  Ruckus Wireless APs have: - Adaptive antenna technology (called BeamFlex) This technology analyzes different paths to reach the client and electronically turns itself to a directional antenna, choosing the path that gives the best performance to reach each specific client. If the client is mobile or if the environment changes (such as a warehouse) the selection of paths/direction also changes instantly. Transmitting in a directional way allows a good Signal-to-Noise Ratio and also causes less interference for other nearby APs outside the path of the directional transmission. - ChannelFly technology This technology chooses the best channel based on performance rather than background scanning for noise. - Polarization Diversity This technology allows the clients not to lose signal strength when held at different angles (important for mobile devices such as tablets and telephones). - Better receive sensitivity compared to the competitors All these features make Ruckus Wireless a better choice than any other competitor (better performance, better coverage area, more stable and surprise-free communication especially in not so easy conditions such as noise, too many clients, too much traffic).
