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

"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."

"The solution offers very good value for money."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"The solution's most valuable feature is mobility or seamless roaming."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."
"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."
"The only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device."
"Great management interface."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
 

Cons

"The scalability could be better."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product."
"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."
"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 stability could be improved."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"I am not going to use this solution anymore in the future, I am going to use Aruba."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"This is not a simple solution like you might find with other vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"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.""
"Its price is reasonable."
"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."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"It is a stand-alone price."
"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."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
