"The solution is scalable.""The solution has fast deployment and easy setup. There is no security PIN for this account.""The app and the provisioning are the best features of the product. It was really impressive that I was able to just provision it remotely. I didn't have to be on-site with my friend, and we were just able to get everything up and operational. So, the app is great. It sends me notifications when things are down, and it tells me how everything is doing.""I would rate the stability of this solution a ten out of ten.""The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant On Access Points is they are easy to manage.""It's super user-friendly.""When an error or alert happens, I receive it in the application.

It might already have been fixed in a recent firmware upgrade."

They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace.""The solution’s technical support could be faster."
