The PoE function works well, and I am using them to power some VoIP/SIP phones of various brands and vintages (Nortel, Mitel, LG-Nortel). The setup is easiest, no special training/knowledge is required. You can manage internal as well as guest networks using the app.

It is ideal to have a fast, secure, and very stable 4g Wi-Fi network to expand the range of connectivity for users and increase the productivity and efficiency of work teams. It is not so good to implement it quickly as you need to learn how to use it very efficiently it is not plugged and played.

I think both are great products but HPE OfficeConnect has been more reliable and suits our budget. As HPE claims, it's one of their simplest products and if you're an SMB, this is the best option.
