Pros
"One could say that Cambium is a scalable solution.""Cambium Networks' PowerMax feature has been particularly beneficial for WAN connectivity, offering superior coverage compared to other solutions. The standout feature of Cambium Networks for me is its extensive coverage area.""What I find valuable is the fact that you don't need to purchase any license. Basically you just get the hardware for the access points, configure an IP and connect it with a switch.""It excels in challenging environments and adverse weather conditions, maintaining high performance without any impact on the link quality.""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.""It is easy to deploy and has many specialists to help us handle complicated processes.""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.""The claim management feature is exceedingly simple."

Cons
"Cambium Networks Wireless WAN is stable but sometimes the 2.4 gigahertz network is sometimes not as stable as the 5 gigahertz. The 5 gigahertz works smoothly with everything, but 2.4 has some problems. If we change the configuration I am not sure if it would fix the problem.""The solution's price could be better.""The solution needs to add an LTE solution and/or something in 3.5GHz.""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 support services could be better.""The modulation could be optimized for better performance, and the configuration should be made adaptive to ensure dynamic adjustments as needed.""There is room for improvement in the support.""Sometimes there are some latencies in devices. Otherwise, it is, for some time, not as stable."

"The scalability is good, but it could improve.""The license cost of the product is an area where the prices are neither expensive nor cheap, leaving a scope for the prices to be lowered further.""The HPE Wireless dashboard could be more user-friendly.""Sometimes it can be difficult to find the right sizing.""Technical support could be improved. They could respond a bit faster.""HPE should improve performance and stability.""It's very old-fashioned, which is why we have made the decision to replace it.""The scalability and the support could be better."
