"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."
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is scalable. The XV2 model of the solution can support up to 216 people at a time."
"The pricing of the product is very, very reasonable."
"The product's scalability features are good."
"It eliminates the need for additional controllers, reducing costs."
"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."
"The most valuable features for network performance in the solution are reliability and centralized management through a single controller."
"It is a good product for cloud management."
"It is a highly scalable platform."
"This access point provides internet to every lab on campus, including the computer laboratory"
"The indoor WiFi connection works well."
"We use the solution for many of our smaller customers and the cloud management aspect of the solution is very good. If you compare it to other vendors that have a controller, it's much easier to manage the cloud-based solution because we travel a lot. It allows us to manage everything from any place."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is extremely easy to set up."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is a reasonably priced, easy to use, stable and reliable product."
"The setup is quite simple."
"We had a client with a power plant. Different wireless devices from various brands caused problems. We fixed it using the Ubiquiti Wireless UDM controller and installed 75 access points and antennas."
"The solution needs to add an LTE solution and/or something in 3.5GHz."
"The product could have more access points to increase the network coverage."
"The Cambium user interface and configuration should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"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."
"The installation is difficult."
"The modulation could be optimized for better performance, and the configuration should be made adaptive to ensure dynamic adjustments as needed."
"If it's in a warehouse, it is very hard to deploy."
"One of the Ubiquiti access points broke down, and it can't be used. It's still down now, so overall Ubiquiti hasn't been a good experience for me."
"Tech support is mostly remote and could be better."
"The technical support is less than stellar."
"Ubiquiti is also slow to adopt new technologies. We are transitioning to Wi-Fi 6, and there aren't many products. They have mostly Wi-Fi 5 products, but there are only two Wi-Fi 6 products. It's okay for places we have already equipped, but it's a bit hard for new places."
"The mesh configuration and WiFi 6 coverage should be improved."
"I would like local support from the parent company."
"We'd like them to improve aspects of device management."
"Better security is important because we need to have some degree of control over who is connected and how we can restrict the level of connectivity."
