Huawei Wireless Initial Setup
The initial setup for Huawei Wireless is easy, so it's a nine out of ten for me.
It takes six to eight weeks to deploy the product.
Initially, as I'm in pre-sales, I generate RFPs and the response when a customer has issued a published tender. I'll check the requirement, and then I'll map it to the Huawei product. I'll then make the Statement of Compliance (SOC) and select the proper model. Next, I'll send the information and document to Huawei for technical vetting. After technical vetting, I'll request Huawei to share information on costs and other vetted documents I need to complete, and once completed, I'll submit the documents. It'll then take approximately ten to fifteen days.
Deploying Huawei Wireless requires teamwork because the deployment process involves different people and teams, such as the project manager, post-deployment, and pre-sales teams, to deploy the product completely.
View full review »We often required additional support from the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) to set up the system properly. Since we needed more training in this area, we relied on the assistance of employees familiar with the implementation. It takes around four weeks to complete.
I rate the process a seven out of ten.

I have been creating and configuring networks for about 25 years, which is a lot of time. I use the basic text interface. Therefore, it isn't a big problem for me to work on the command line. However, for new users who are used to working through GUI, it can be a problem to create the initial configuration. Huawei Wireless has a GUI interface for the configuration, but it is not similar to the text configuration. You can't create a detailed configuration through the GUI. To make some new changes or some new additions, you have to use the text interface.
My deployment was divided into two parts: hardware configuration and software configuration. For hardware deployment or configuration, I had to put access points in the right place. I had 54 access points. I also had to get the cables made for connecting access points, which took about a few weeks. After that, hanging the access points took about a few days, and the software configuration took about three weeks. The basic configuration was done in one week, but after that, we had a problem with the power injectors. Finding the solution and figuring out what's going on with our power injectors took about two weeks. Normally, it can be done in one week.
View full review »From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup. Regarding the customer experience after installation, taking into consideration the same aforementioned factors on a scale of one to ten, I rate it a six.
Speaking of the time taken for deployment, I would say the solution is controller-based, not ad hoc. The configuration is done centrally by the controller. Regarding deployment, it is not a matter of days since it depends on the number of access points. Specifically, if you are talking about something with more than forty to fifty access points, then it will take two to three days, and if more than that, it will take more days.
One technician and one engineer are needed for deployment.
The solution's setup is straightforward and simple. It is not overly complex or difficult.
It's quick to deploy and we can do anywhere from ten to 50 access points in one day.

Installation is easy. We are not talking about a one-click installation for all. Once installed, a person can configure the solution to his needs.

The initial setup is pretty complex. It's not exactly straightforward.
The configuration process is not so easy and the GUI is a bit difficult, which makes it a bit harder than it needs to be.

In terms of the initial setup, it wasn't that hard at all. We know the technology, so it wasn't that difficult for us. I wouldn't describe the process as complex.
It's a campus network. It's a live network. We had some limitations, for example, working only in the nighttime. It took us a while to finish this project due to the fact that, number one, it was a huge undertaking. Also, there were some access issues. There are hundreds of buildings that we covered. Sometimes, therefore, we had physical access issues. There were some delays. It took us around four to five months to complete this project.

I rate Huawei Wireless's deployment a seven out of ten. It takes around 30 minutes to complete. Professionals can do it faster and complete it in 15 minutes. One person is enough to handle the deployment.

The initial setup is a little bit complex. Sometimes the Huawei access point doesn't support POE. You also need a big team for maintenance. We have 30-40 people, for example.

We do a standard installation unless there's a requirement from the customer to customize it. If there is customization, that can get as complex as it can be in an enterprise environment.
Deployment time varies. There's no standard. A very standard configuration is about a day or two, but that still depends.
We have all sizes of customers.

The initial setup was easy. We used user-oriented manuals and guidelines for design and installation, so it was fine.
We spent a lot of time on the design. Therefore, at the time of installation, it didn't take much time. For installation, we were sure what we wanted to do, so it went okay. It was not like plug and play, but overall, it was good.
