One drawback is that Cambium's on-premises controller needs internet connectivity for installation, which can be a problem for clients who want it offline. Also, configuring Cambium solutions requires more expertise compared to some other vendors.
Cambium's solution is flexible for various connectivity needs, although there are limitations based on the specific equipment and metrics. The indoor coverage typically reaches up to sixty meters and may require external antennas for optimal performance and for outdoor connectivity, Cambium Networks offer excellent scalability and coverage, especially with sectorial access points.
I couldn't find any problems with the product. There is no good technical support available for Cambium Networks Wireless WAN. With Cambium Networks Wireless WAN, it is hard to go through the CLI since nobody knows about it in our company. When it comes to CLI, no one in our company can configure it properly. The product's configuration is carried out with the help of a PnP process.
Sometimes, I have found some roaming issues related to the solution. I did not blame Cambium for the aforementioned issue I found in the product since it is an overall good solution. If someone wants to go to the location-based portal of the product, like the one available in Meraki, it would not be possible, and it is an area that needs improvement. Cambium Networks Wireless WAN's dependencies on third-party API integrations is an area with scope for improvement.

The product could have more access points to increase the network coverage. They should introduce programs, workshops, or documentation to share knowledge about the primary principles.

Pricing is a big one. We can make it more competitive. Other things I can see are SQL and the slide on the top. And pricing. Cambium add more features to the SQL functionality. Basically, the process of working with switching switches is a source bundle. Cambium add more features to the record server.
There is room for improvement in stability. Sometimes there are some latencies in devices. Otherwise, it is, for some time, not as stable. From the stability point of view, Cambium can work on improving it. Also, it takes a lot of power input, which is very high, especially for outdoor locations like lightning-prone areas. So it can be made more robust. The design should be more robust when using it in a mining location and in areas with extreme weather conditions and dusty areas.
I think this product could be improved if It were SMS based. If I have a visitor in my office, I'd like to be able to send them the wireless password as a message via SMS, so I don't have to give it out. I would like to see some type of blocker device. I need to block certain devices that should not be present in my organization or in my network.
I did not like this solution from the get go and have no interest in it, as it is entirely not good for the end-user. There are no features that I have found to be most valuable. The solution offers no features that cannot be found in other products. In the three to four months since I started testing the product I have found its performance to be lacking and it to be very difficult and complicated. The interface is difficult. The Cambium user interface and configuration should be improved. The configuration is very complicated and not user friendly. The solution should be BLE enabled. In a recent review I conducted of Cisco 9115 and Cisco 9100 it came to my attention that both of these products are BLE enabled.
The range of the product is disappointing so far. The range the device offers is very limited. The coverage is only around 68 meters. If the range up to maybe 100 to 120, it would be really great; it would cover much more area.
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.
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.
The solution isn't as well known in the country. Most people are more familiar with Ubiquiti, and that solution has a lot of other options. Pricing isn't ideal and could be improved. The solution can sometimes be very slow and clunky. The solution needs to add an LTE solution and/or something in 3.5GHz.

I rate the solution a ten out of ten. The solution is good but it can be improved by making it perfectly stable.
Cambium Networks Wireless WAN can improve the price.
Cambium Networks Wireless WAN could improve by providing a better signal range.
The Wifi coverage and throughput performance of Cambium could improve.

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