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

"It can scale."
"It is easy to set up."
"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."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"As a turnkey solution."
"There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend."
"The scalability of Ubiquiti WLAN is very good, and my customers are small, medium, and enterprise companies."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has allowed us to deploy Wi-Fi as a vast service to allow the customer to get a feel for our internet and then come and purchase the service."
"Once they are in, and because you can have multiple access points, the handoff between different access points, one to another, is really nice, you are not losing signals, dropping connections, and other such things, it is all very good."
"This is a good product and I have already recommended it to two of my colleagues."
 

Cons

"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"I think the coverage could be increased."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"The product must provide better warranties."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Its price is reasonable."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"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."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."
"The tool's price is good and falls somewhere in the middle."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
