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 most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"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."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"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 solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."
"The pricing is reasonable; there are no licenses required to use the solution, and that's one of the benefits of using the product."
"The only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"This solution gives me a lot of power to manage the WLAN for my company."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
 

Cons

"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."
"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."
"Technical support is not great. Whenever I open a case, I don't get any immediate support."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could 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 solution needs to include a captive portal."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"There seems to be a drop in service sometimes. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"The coverage could be increased."
"It does require some maintenance from my side, including troubleshooting and fixing occasionally."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"The new user interface could be improved - some of the features in the old UI are missing in the new UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I pay monthly for the solution."
"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."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"It is very cost-effective."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"The tool is affordable."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"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."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
