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

"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"The product is easy to use, the signal is very stable with very good performance, and for network devices it is great."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."
"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 web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"The scalability of Ubiquiti WLAN is very good, and my customers are small, medium, and enterprise companies."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"We've received positive feedback from our clients after deploying Ubiquiti WLAN, which has improved our confidence and reputation as a service provider."
 

Cons

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."
"The manageability could be improved."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"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."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"The stability could be improved."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"The coverage could be increased."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
