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 product is easy to use, the signal is very stable with very good performance, and for network devices it is great."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"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 solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, it works very well, it does not crash, and the performance is very good, and so far we have not received any complaints or any faulty hardware or anything."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"The only way to re-adopt AP's is to do a hard reset of the device."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable, and we haven't had any issues with it."
"This is a good product and I have already recommended it to two of my colleagues."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The main advantage of Ubiquiti WLAN is the network management. The whole concept has one complete range of products from end to end, with very basic and effective management systems. That's a key benefit in my mind. But the main thing is that it's so competitive—far more competitive than the other leading American brands."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
 

Cons

"The scalability could be a bit better."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."
"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."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"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 technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."
"Big networks with more than 80 access points are a problem. The network controller stops sometimes, and I think it's because of the high number of access points."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"The technical support could improve, they are slow."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
