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

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.

"It has all of the features that we need."
"The solution offers very good value for money."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"The main difference between Ubiquiti and other solutions is the wireless coverage and the equipment, and the device in itself is solid with all the functionality that I need."
"Great management interface."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution has a pretty simple approach to WLAN, you can manage it for free with a one-off purchase, and it offers a very good hotspot manager with very good interfacing, very nice documentation, and an initial setup that is quite easy."
"The pricing is reasonable; there are no licenses required to use the solution, and that's one of the benefits of using the product."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be better."
"The scalability could be better."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."
"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."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"I think the coverage could be increased."
"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."
"The technical support could improve, they are slow."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"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."
"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.""
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"The tool is affordable."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN's pricing a five to six out of ten."
