I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup.""The solution is easy to set up.""All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless.""It can scale.""The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems.

  • "The solution is priced well and we currently are only paying for a license for maintenance."

Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""
  • "Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
  • "It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."
