Cambium Networks Wireless WAN Reviews

It is easy to deploy, and it is not that complicated. There are a lot of systems that are very complicated, and they require a special kind of training. Their response is also very slow, especially with the Chinese vendors, but with Cambium, we have not faced any issues. 

Everything is going well in terms of cooperation from Cambium. We are happy with them, their services, their cooperation, and their quick response. They are just amazing.

If they could move from the fixed wireless point to mobile, it will make a big change in the market.

The cnPilot coverage should be covering big spaces. It should also have an external antenna, not a built-in antenna.

I have been using this solution for a couple of years. I am using its latest version.

It is stable.

We open a ticket, and they respond to us quickly. Somebody calls us within a day.

We used to work in mobile spaces with NEC, Ericsson, and Nokia. This is the first time we are working with Cambium for Wi-Fi.

It is easy to install, and we have all the required material from Cambium. If there is anything that we share with them, they are able to deliver on the spot and tell us how to do and what to do.

We are generally able to finish deployments in one or two days. The deployment duration can vary, but that is not because of Cambium. It usually is because the wiring and the power are not ready at a customer's site.

We have our own team to handles this. We have four people at the moment for Cambium networks. We have a CTO and four trained engineers.

Its price is in the middle range.

I would recommend this solution. I am very pleased with Cambium. It is competing in the market, and it has a good future. Cambium is growing up quickly. In the upcoming years, I can see it as a huge technology. With cnWave and the 5 gigahertz, they will take a very big share of the market worldwide. They are doing something amazing with cnMaestro.

I would rate Cambium a nine out of ten.

Our primary use case for the solution is to evaluate our warehouse management to determine where materials are, so our users are not facing any trouble while dispatching or putting away that material.

The performance is very good.

I rate the solution a ten out of ten. The solution is good but it can be improved by making it perfectly stable.

We have been using the solution for approximately six years.

The coverage is very good, and it is a stable product.

The solution is scalable, and approximately 130 users are utilizing the solution. We have to deploy over 80 access points because we have two or three per AP.

We rate our experience with customer service and support as ten out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward and takes between 15 to 30 minutes. However, if it's in a warehouse, it is very hard to deploy, and we have to wait for some vehicles that can bring a person or the height.

We implemented the solution in-house.

A license is required for its warranty and extension, and its price is good.

It is good for small hospitals and small shops because they are places where there are more people in a small area.

It is reasonably priced and has good technical support.

I think the installation and configuration could be easier. A bit more user friendly software for configuration would be good.

The stability could be improved as well.

We've been using it for a couple of months.

I think it could be more stable.

Technical support has been good.

The installation was a bit complex. It took about an hour or two for one access point.

We used a vendor team during implementation.

I think the pricing is fine for Cambium.

I would rate Cambium at six, on a scale from one to ten. The price and technical support are good, but the installation is a bit complex.

Our primary use case is for nursing homes, retail centers, those kinds of places. The solution is used to attract people and is used for social media interaction, customer analysis, that sort of thing. For the nursing home, which is another client, it's used because of its security capability. Our clients are generally small to medium enterprise. I'm a reseller and creator, and managing director of the company.

The claim management is exceedingly simple and a good feature. It's very easy to configure and reporting is excellent. From my point of view, it's an exceedingly reliable solution. 

Pricing tends to be higher than its competitors but that's really all I have to complain about. 

I've been using this solution for two years. 

The product is very stable. 

This is a very scalable solution. 

I have previously worked with Zeros and with Ubiquiti networks. I find Cambium to be far more reliable. I've had the solution on my PC for three years now and haven't needed to do anything, it just keeps working. 

Initial setup is very simple. It takes about five minutes per access point. 

I would recommend to anyone to go ahead and use it. It's well worth the extra money to implement it. You're not going to have many problems thereafter. It's just going to work for you.

I would rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

We use the solution for enterprise Wi-Fi access points service.

The solution is easy to use.

The solution's price could be better.

We have been using the solution for a few years.

It is a stable solution, and I rate its stability as an eight.

The solution is scalable. We have customers working with more than 50 units of the solution.

The solution's customer service is good.

The complexity of the solution's initial setup depends on specific outdoor infrastructure. Its deployment involves multiple factors, including equipment, electricity, bandwidth, wall mounts, technical design, radio design, IP engineering, etc. It requires approximately a day to complete and varies from project to project.

It is an expensive solution.

Cambium is easy to install, maintain and work with. I advise others to make the purchase decision based on their requirements. 

I rate the solution as an eight.

I use Cambium Networks Wireless WAN mostly for wireless service.

The most valuable features of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN are cloud management and links.

Cambium Networks Wireless WAN could improve by providing a better signal range.

I have been using Cambium Networks Wireless WAN for approximately a year and a half.

Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is highly stable.

The scalability of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is good.

We have approximately 30 to 40 clients using this solution.

I rate the scalability of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN a nine out of ten.

I have not used the technical support from Cambium Networks Wireless WAN.

We did not previously use another solution.

The initial setup of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is straightforward. The deployment takes 20 to 25 minutes. However, it depends on the environment.

Our in-house technical team does the implementation of the solution. We have an engineer and technician that support the solution. If the size of the implementation is larger we will need more support staff.

We have seen a return on investment by using Cambium Networks Wireless WAN.

I rate the level of ROI from using Cambium Networks Wireless WAN a five out of five.

Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is a free solution, we only pay for the hardware. The warranty of the hardware is for five years

I rate Cambium Networks Wireless WAN a ten out of ten.

We use this solution in many scenarios. We use it for small businesses, home networks mesh, and schools. Cambium has got Xirrus as an enterprise branch. We use Xirrus, and we also use Cambium with small solutions.

It is a cloud deployment. It is deployed in the Cambium cloud. We are using cnMaestro as a cloud portal. In the case of Xirrus, we are using the XMS-Cloud solution that they have. We are not using any on-premise solution.

The feature that I really liked is the mesh feature. Currently, we are in quarantine, and the request of home users is that they need to cover the whole house or the whole indoor house. Mesh solution works really nice in Cambium environment.

Being able to set up access points in advance is a good feature. It lets you set up the whole environment in your lab or any other place before deploying the access points.

It has voucher generation. These vouchers are provided to the customers. It would be great if there is a possibility to integrate these vouchers with the system that vendors use to print the receipts. For example, if you go to Starbucks, they provide you a receipt, and in that receipt, you have the code for the Wi-Fi network. I would like some kind of integration or API that can be integrated into any other system for generating such receipts. It would be a really nice feature. 

It has the cnMaestro portal that normally an integrator sets up. When you deploy this solution to a user, rather than generating a Cambium account, I would like to share this console with the users so that they can at least see the stability of the network and not necessarily trust what I said. It also allows the customers in visualizing the way that they are connecting and the way the network is behaving. I have been in touch with the Cambium team for these features, but they don't yet have the final answer.

It is kind of hard to get these solutions immediately. It is a bit challenging to bring these devices to Lima, Peru, or to get Cambium from the distributors. They need to import these devices.

I have been using this solution for about two years.

Its stability is good. I haven't received any complaints. Sometimes, when you deploy a network, you need to reset the access points once in a while because they get saturated or the memory is full, but I haven't received any complaint about this with Cambium devices. I have been working during this quarantine with both Ubiquiti and Cambium, and Cambium responds much better.

Its scalability is good. You can start with a small network and then you can grow it as you need. They also offer a paid version of cnMaestro. I am not clear about what you gain when you go for paid cnMaestro. 

The number of users varies based on the client. We have solutions for small businesses, home users, and schools. In schools, there are 25 users per classroom, and all of them are connected without any problem.

It is generally easy, but sometimes, it can be challenging in terms of time, but you just need to wait. It takes a while for the access point to take the configuration, specifically because it is communicating with the cloud. It has to receive the configuration file, and it takes a while to receive the configuration file. You just need to be patient.

The cool thing that I like is that you can set up the whole environment in your lab or any other place, and then you can deploy those access points for the customers. For the final configuration, you can just call them in and finalize the setup. Being able to set up those access points in advance is a good feature.

I would advise others to look for the right integrator. A good integrator needs to know the product and specifications. It is not necessarily about selling. It is also about knowing different features so that you can get maximum advantage of the product. Most of the people are using Wi-Fi, but in terms of using two frequencies, 2.4 and 5 gigahertz, an assessment would be much better. I don't know if Cambium supports any kind of assessment. I know that they have some tools, but the integrators should make these assessments before implementing any Wi-Fi solution.

I would rate Cambium an eight out of ten.

We use Cambium for backhauling.

The Wifi coverage and throughput performance of Cambium could improve.

I have been using Cambium for approximately 12 years.

The scalability of Cambium is good outdoors but indoors it is not very good.

I have not used technical support.

The initial setup of Cambium is straightforward.

There are not any licenses needed to use Cambium.

I rate Cambium an eight out of ten.
