The direct technical support from Cambium teams needs to be improved. In Africa, particularly in projects like in Mauritania, there is a lack of support from Cambium's direct teams, making it difficult to set the right parameters.
I have used the product, and I haven't found any problem with the tool. The problem with the tool is that its prices are on the higher end. The tool should be made more cost-effective so that anyone can buy and use the product. The product's price is higher than that of other similar brands like Ubiquiti. Cambium should look at the pricing model it offers. Recently, Cambium released Cambium Networks Wi-Fi 7 with just one technology. It is a very outdated technology, and I don't know why it has introduced such a type of technology in 2024. With the new product, I don't know why Cambium has brought in an old technology associated with MIMO. Cambium should design its products more to be like 2x2 MU-Mimo. Cambium also has a product, 2x2 MU-MIMO, that is in the high-price category. In Grandstream and Ubiquiti, products are offered in categories like 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4. In Cambium, the tools have been designed in such a way that the basic model offers 2x2 MU-MIMO. If you need 4x4 MU-MIMO, you need to go with a higher category product, which is very expensive and costlier than the other OEMs in the market. In Grandstream and Ubiquiti, the tools have been designed in such a way that the product lineup is such that the transfer from one model to another model, the pricing gap is about 20 to 30 USD, but in Cambium, it is around 300 to 400 USD to move to the next product, making it an area that should improve. Cambium should design its products within a certain budget. With Cambium, it would be very expensive if I changed from the 2x2 to the 4x4 category. I need to add an additional 400 to 500 USD for the next model of the product.
The goal is to use fewer antennas while maintaining coverage and capacity. This approach is not only practical but also cost-effective as installing numerous access points in a room or facility can be expensive. We would appreciate it if it allowed us to optimize the number of access points while still providing customers with the same level of coverage, capacity, and quality. The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality.

There is room for improvement in the pricing model. Cambium is a little bit higher than some other products. There are some product types which have single cases, but the cost is very low.
Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace.
We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment.
I would like them to add some kind of web filtering, as well as the ability to add content filtering. That is something I would like them to be able to do. If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release. And if they include that, it would be a perfect solution.
The solution just needs to keep doing standard improvements. There's competition coming in from China and it's half the price. They need to stay competitive in terms of offering and price. There's a solution called Ruijie that is coming from China and growing in popularity. We've found issues in the past when a user connects with an Apple product. This happened two or three years ago, and they sent a technician to look at the problem. They used firmware to solve the issue and it's my understanding that it's better now. The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness. There could be more bandwidth and less latency. It should be as close to the server as possible. If they could make 20 megahertz channels for megabits throughput, that would be better.

The capacity and coverage could be improved. Nowadays, for the end user, there could be more features. API integration features should be free.
