At the "Interop Tokyo 2021", which opened on April 14, 2021, the "OMADA SDN Solution" cloud-management business network solution of Tea Purink Japan (TP-Link) and "Interop Best of Show Award)"Won the Judge's Special Award.
OMADA SDN Solution is a cloud solution that allows the company's wireless LAN access points, PoE switches, and VPN routers intensively with a “monthly usage fee of 0 yen”.It is said that not only general offices and accommodation facilities, but also logistics warehouses, sightseeing facilities, student dormitories, and campsites operated by local governments are being widely introduced, both indoors and outdoors.I asked about this solution at the Interop's TP-Link booth.

Not only offices but also hotels, condominiums, warehouses, campsites, and a wide range of introductions
OMADA SDN Solution can be used by installing the "OC200" or "OC300" of the hardware controller in the local network with a VPN router, PoE switch, and wireless LAN access points for TP-Link.Solution.The small OC200 can control the 100 devices / 1000 clients, and the medium -sized OC300 can control 500 devices / 15,000 clients.
In recent years, a similar cloud management -type solution has appeared from various network product vendors, but the major feature of OMADA is that the management service fee has been set to "free".If you purchase a hardware controller, you can manage the cloud at no additional cost.These "buying out" licenses are especially pleased in local governments that are difficult to collect on a continuous budget, such as monthly payments.

The company has been well received by business hotels, condominium managers, or SIers in a wide range of business areas, as they can grasp and manage the network via the cloud.In the event of a failure, the situation can be grasped without going to the site, and initial response such as rebooting equipment can be improved, improving the efficiency of network management operations.
You can visualize the operating status of the network from mobile devices
Currently, there are 5 models for corporate networking equipment that support OMADA, including 5 models including indoor and outdoor models, 17 models, including full 10G, PoE compatible, and two VPN routers.It is said that these are used to use them.
"For example, I want to lay a network in the entire old logistics warehouse, but the Ethernet cable is not laid. There are 13" EAP225-OUTDOOR "compatible mesh Wi-Fi to cover the whole warehouse to update the warehouse.I tried. In addition, since the management building and each cottage are separated at the local campsites, the cottage is covered by the mesh Wi-Fi starting from the management building (TP-Link staff).
In addition, it is also used for laying the Internet in all condominiums."Since TP-Link is inexpensive, the point is that it is easy to try this kind of usage" (person in charge).
