TP-Link Omada: The Smarter Cloud Solution for Business Networking

Software Defined Networking (SDN)

Omada is an SDN network with a controller at its core, enabling automatic deployment of network services and data distribution across routers, switches, and access points.

Hassle-Free Centralized Cloud Management

Manage access points, switches, gateways, and more from different sites via a single interface, anytime, anywhere. Batch configuration and remote firmware updates streamline maintenance.

Higher Efficiency

Reduces the need for on-site staff, improving network efficiency and lowering deployment, operation, and maintenance costs.

Higher Security

Separates network management data from user data, ensuring privacy. Features a powerful firewall and advanced security functions like WPA3 encryption.

Higher Reliability

Omada Cloud guarantees 99.99% availability with 24/7 automated fault detection. Geographically isolated backup servers minimize cloud downtime, ensuring network function even if management traffic is interrupted.

Omada Product Ecosystem

The Omada ecosystem includes various devices managed through a centralized cloud controller. This includes:

• Omada Wall Plate APs: Such as EAP235-Wall and EAP230-Wall, designed for in-room coverage.
• Omada Ceiling Mount APs: Including Wi-Fi 6 models like EAP660 HD and EAP620 HD, and Wi-Fi 5 models like EAP265 HD and EAP245, suitable for lobbies, restaurants, and high-density areas.
• Omada Outdoor APs: Such as EAP225-Outdoor, for extended coverage in areas like swimming pools or outdoor parking.
• JetStream Switches: Offering high-speed connectivity, including 10G aggregation switches (TL-SX3016F) and 2.5GE/Gigabit PoE switches (TL-SG3210XHP-M2, TL-SG3428XMP), for machine rooms and network closets.
• SafeStream Security Routers: Like the TL-ER7206, providing secure gateway functions.

The system is managed via a cloud-based controller, accessible through a web browser or the Omada App, linked via a TP-Link account.

Omada Mesh & Seamless Roaming

Omada Mesh technology extends wireless coverage flexibly. 802.11k/v seamless roaming ensures uninterrupted connectivity as users move between access points.

Guest Network for Boosting Business

Enhance business operations with guest Wi-Fi featuring flexible authentication options like Facebook Login and Vouchers.

Auto Channel Selection and Power Adjustment

Automatically adjusts channel settings and transmission power levels of neighboring APs to reduce Wi-Fi interference and provide powerful wireless performance.

Intelligent Network Analysis, Warning, and Optimization

Analyzes network issues, provides optimization suggestions for efficiency, locates faults, warns users, and generates solutions to minimize network risk.

Zero-Touch Provisioning

Eliminates the need for on-site engineers. Omada Cloud enables remote deployment and configuration of multi-site networks efficiently and cost-effectively. The process involves plugging in devices, enrolling them via the Omada Cloud Dashboard, devices automatically obtaining configuration files, and finally, enjoying remote provisioning.

High-Density Wi-Fi Deployment

Equipped with enterprise chipsets, dedicated antennas, advanced RF functions, and auto channel selection, Omada Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5 APs offer high concurrency capacity for dense environments.

Wi-Fi 6 Access Points Improve Experiences in High-Density Environments

Omada Wi-Fi 6 access points enhance network efficiency and deliver high speeds, eliminating buffering. Key benefits include:

• Blistering Speeds: Higher Level Modulation (1024-QAM) and 4x Longer OFDM Symbol.
• Improved Efficiency: Features like BSS Coloring, OFDMA, and MU-MIMO.

Specific models include:

• EAP660 HD: AX3600 Wireless Dual-Band Multi-Gigabit Ceiling Mount Access Point with speeds up to 3.6 Gbps and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port.
• EAP620 HD: AX1800 Wireless Dual Band Ceiling Mount Access Point with speeds up to 1.8 Gbps.
• EAP620-Outdoor HD: AX1800 Wireless Dual Band Indoor/Outdoor Access Point, also offering speeds up to 1.8 Gbps and suitable for outdoor use.

Cloud-Based Controller for Easier Deployment

The cloud-based controller offers efficient, affordable deployment and centralized management from anywhere. It guarantees 99.99% SLA availability and 24/7 fault detection, with no additional hardware investment required.

On-Premises Controller with Cloud Access

Omada provides cloud access to its on-premises management platforms (Omada Software Controller or Omada Hardware Controller) for full network control via the Omada app or Web UI, without extra subscription fees.

Cloud Management with the Omada App

The free Omada app allows quick setup, configuration, network status monitoring, and client management directly from a smartphone or tablet.
