Head Of Technical Operations at ITE
Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management
We have deployed Huawei CCTV solutions at multiple universities in Pakistan. This includes Huawei Wireless for Smart Campus projects, where we provide blanket Wi-Fi coverage and Safe Campus projects, where we deploy security cameras and multiple devices to monitor the campus Huawei Wireless has…

Unified management of devices ensures a consistent network configuration
I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable. I appreciate that it has a controller instead of just a single access point, similar to how Ruckus operates. I utilize Ubiquiti WLAN unified management system, and it helps streamline network management by making consistent configuration of all my access points and switches. I also have cameras integrated, so I have everything managed through the system. I have seen benefits from utilizing Ubiquiti WLAN as it's a stable solution. I also see scalability as a positive factor for Ubiquiti WLAN.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to use, the signal is very stable with very good performance, and for network devices it is great."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."
"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."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"The management features are valuable."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"We've received positive feedback from our clients after deploying Ubiquiti WLAN, which has improved our confidence and reputation as a service provider."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"As a turnkey solution."
 

Cons

"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"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."
"The stability could be improved."
"Technical support is not ideal. They sometimes cannot connect to the wireless access point or their connection drops."
"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use. As a partner, you can use the solution for free, for thirty days, for example. On paper, everything looks fine, but you have to get permission and explain why you want to download the software, even if it's just for demo purposes. I don't get why I have to do this as a partner and still give an explanation that this would be for a demo setup. Downloading the solution isn't a click-and-install process that should go smoothly and efficiently. You have to get a lot of approvals and explain a lot, and in the end, you find out that you received the approval for one piece of software. It looks like you need additional software to use the software. My company asked for approval and received the approval three days later, but you need to install another software to use some of the features. In the past, most features were separate. Because Huawei wants a single pane of glass where all features should work with the Huawei equipment, Huawei decided to combine everything into the iMaster NCE Campus, which incorporates every other cloud solution. However, you still have to ask for approval for every piece of software, and without clear information on the features, the type of software, and the software files required, it's not so good from my point of view."
"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."
"The technical support is poor. Just a chat window. No actual person to talk with."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"It does require some maintenance from my side, including troubleshooting and fixing occasionally."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The coverage could be increased."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Right now, my company made a one-time purchase of Huawei Wireless. It depends, but in most of the projects where customers buy hardware with some software, it's a one-time purchase. Customers pay a yearly fee for other projects for support and additional software features, such as email protection firmware updates for cybersecurity. You'll also receive information about the latest attacks and get more protection if you pay an additional fee apart from the standard license fee. You'll also get an additional warranty for Huawei Wireless, a yearly contract."
"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."
"The product has a good price."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The tool's price is good and falls somewhere in the middle."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
