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 simple and easy to use."
"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"The entire campus (students, administration, the project team, and purchase team) was very happy with this particular product."
"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"Overall, I am satisfied with the solution."
"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"The pricing is pretty good; it's not overly expensive and you only pay for the solution once since there isn't an ongoing license fee you have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
"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 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 scalability of Ubiquiti WLAN is very good, and my customers are small, medium, and enterprise companies."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"As far as the support is concerned, or the overall experience with the solution, Ubiquiti is simple and easy and inexpensive."
"Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product."
"We've received positive feedback from our clients after deploying Ubiquiti WLAN, which has improved our confidence and reputation as a service provider."
 

Cons

"Support could be a bit faster."
"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."
"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 scalability could be a bit better."
"The scalability could be better."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"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 solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
