For smaller companies that don't need a complete solution with a WLAN controller and only need to deploy a single unit, I would not recommend Huawei Wireless.
Cisco and Aruba are Huawei Wireless's main competitors. However, Huawei Wireless is better than Cisco and Aruba from a cost point of view. I would recommend the solution to users who can afford it. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Huawei is good. They have been in the market for long. It's user-friendly compared to Cisco. We can configure devices more friendly. Huawei Wireless provides access management control, eliminating the need for additional license agreements to access devices. It includes an inbuilt radio server, which can enhance its functionality. I work for a company that produces devices, and you would need to use Huawei products, especially in Nigeria, due to factors such as performance, efficiency, support, and cost. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Huawei adapters have facilitated seamless integration with mobile devices, extending the LAN's reach. Additionally, including CampusInsight, a component offering analytics and visibility into wireless connectivity, has proven invaluable. This feature enables us to monitor network health and troubleshoot user-related issues efficiently. The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations. I advise others to go for Cisco if cost is not a factor. Otherwise, they can explore other options based on the availability of that OEM within the country. We have Huawei present in our country and provide all the necessary support, so we went forward with them. I rate it a nine out of ten.
Apart from price-related issues, the product is excellent. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly and easy to deploy, and the support and after-sale support matter. So we are very comfortable with the support. Huawei has its own research and development team across the globe with a good technical network, cloud, and storage, making its management excellent. Huawei offers a big portfolio. I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.
I would tell those planning to use the solution to go for a PoC and to see whether it's for their requirement or not because Huawei, in large environments with large numbers of users, may have some issues, but in smaller environments, it will work fine. So if you are able to do a PoC, I would recommend going with it or trying it. Though I'm not a technical guy, I'm hearing from the technical team that there are certain features that you have to configure well regarding speed, rate limit, and all the stuff. So you have to take care of it. Also, you need to take care regarding the country and its regulations along with the dBi for the antenna and increase the values to satisfy customers. Huawei Wireless has some issues compared to the other vendors in terms of stability and customer experience. Also, the number of tickets in Huawei is more than many other vendors like Juniper or Cisco. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.
I would tell potential users that it all depends on the support. It's not easy to get Huawei Wireless support in Mexico. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Huawei Wireless an eight.
I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's very fast and stable. I'd recommend the solution to others.
I'm based in Pakistan, and a pre-sales manager focused on ICT, particularly in wireless, wired, security surveillance, and information security products. Huawei Wireless is one of the products I'm working with, and I'm using it too. I'm selling Wi-Fi 6 products. Huawei Wireless is a hot product in the industry nowadays. My company is a Huawei Wireless gold partner. I always work with the latest product version, which will eventually become Wi-Fi 7. I'm recommending Huawei Wireless to others looking into implementing it because it's technically one hundred percent compliant in terms of customer requirements. It offers all features at a reasonable cost versus other OEMs. I strongly recommend Huawei Wireless because it's cost-effective and one hundred percent compliant technically over other products. Huawei Wireless is mainly deployed on-premises, though I have some projects where it's deployed on the cloud. My advice to others looking into implementing Huawei Wireless is that as a product, it's good. You can easily search for documentation on the Huawei website. You must learn Huawei Wireless first, and then it becomes easy, but it needs to improve its after-sales support. My rating for the product, overall, is nine out of ten.

I'm working for a distributor for Huawei in Bulgaria. I'm a product manager for Huawei network equipment in Bulgaria. As a distributor, my company has some demo equipment at the office and different versions of Huawei equipment, such as switches, routers, and access point controllers. For example, for Huawei AirEngine, my company has versions 5760, 5761, 5762, etc. At the moment, Huawei Wireless is deployed on-premises, but the team is working on moving to a cloud-based solution. Most brands or vendors nowadays focus on cloud solutions, so that's what my company is trying to activate. My company will present an iMaster NCE Campus demo to a partner, so the partner can start using that solution. It's not just SD-WAN that the company is trying to move to because SD-WAN is part of a complete cloud solution, cloud management solution, and network management system, which can be used only for monitoring or remotely managing devices. The number of users of Huawei Wireless within the company isn't significant because it's just demo equipment, and it's not the main wireless equipment used in the office. The number of people required for the deployment and maintenance of Huawei Wireless depends on the size of the project, the circumstance, and the requirements. For example, there's a project with one hundred and sixty access points with four service engineers, so deploying Huawei Wireless doesn't require many people. I suggest anyone looking into implementing Huawei Wireless to ensure correct WiFi planning. As long as you receive the exact WiFi access point model and the exact location, everything will be fine. The deployment of Huawei Wireless would also depend on your partner. Support depends on customer requirements. You can order support contracts if you want everything to be smooth and up-to-date in the future. You can order support contracts upfront, before, or even after deployment. As Huawei Wireless is a very good solution, I'd rate it as eight out of ten. I can't give it a ten because I don't have a vast experience with it, and there's no perfect solution. My company is a Huawei partner.

My advice to others is if you are going to choose Huawei Wireless, you need to check the quality of the solution. There are some issues with the strength of signals, it can get weak without any reason. If we compare this with the Cisco solutions, they do not have this issue. I rate Huawei Wireless an eight out of ten.

Overall, I am satisfied with the solution. I would recommend it to others. My advice would vary with the personal use one wishes to make of the solution. I rate Huawei Wireless as a nine out of ten.
We plan to continue using the solution in the future, we have upcoming projects. I would recommend this solution to others. I rate Huawei Wireless a nine out of ten.
We are Huawei and Cisco partners and we're an IT company. I'd recommend the solution to others. I'd rate the product eight out of ten. If the setup was easier I'd likely rate it higher.
I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money. Huawei access controller can be located on a WiFi switch. Therefore, you do not need to buy an extra server for putting the access controller. It can go on a switch. I have invested in Huawei WiFi systems and their support. I won't buy WiFi systems for the next two years of using this. The software updates are very important for solid WiFi connectivity. I would rate Huawei Wireless an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this solution, but it depends on the kind of use case we are going into. The main advice is to use the latest technology. I would rate Huawei Wireless a nine out of ten.
The on-premise solution is a very good product. They are working on the latest technology. I don't have much experience with their cloud based solution. I would rate the solution as an eight (out of 10).
We're a consultant and support many companies and end-users. We use the 5060 and 6020 access points, among others. We use the private cloud deployment model for medium-sized companies. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

In terms of advice I'd give to others considering implementing the solution is that it's easy to use if they use an access controller. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I'd rate it higher but they don't offer a good technical guide which means you ultimately need to search and try out solutions for yourself.

It's a pretty good solution. The design has to be right. If the design is done properly and the conditions are right, it's a stellar product. It would probably be a seven or eight out of ten.
Huawei WLAN products are compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards to establish high-speed, secure, and reliable wireless network connections for indoor and outdoor applications.WLAN products can be used in enterprise offices, schools, hospitals, large shopping malls, exhibition centers, airports, and more.
For smaller companies that don't need a complete solution with a WLAN controller and only need to deploy a single unit, I would not recommend Huawei Wireless.
