TP-Link Omada launches updated software suite, revolutionising network planning, management and deployment

Omada, TP-Link Systems Inc.’s exclusive business solution brand, announces an elevated suite, including powerful upgrades to Omada Network 6.0, Omada App 5.0, Wi-Fi Navi App V1.5 and an all-new Omada Design Hub. These upgrades deliver a smarter, more integrated experience for MSPs, System Integrators, Installers, and everyday users. With end-to-end tools for planning, deployment, and management, Omada empowers businesses to build high performance networks with greater speed, precision, and reliability.

 Omada Network 6.0: New Intuitive Experience for Faster Troubleshooting and Precision Operations and Maintenance

At the heart of this release is Omada Network 6.0, a major upgrade designed to simplify and supercharge network operations. Built for professionals who are managing complex deployments, it delivers a new interface and enhanced interactions that make troubleshooting faster, monitoring more precise, and configuration more intuitive.

The redesigned dashboard features a five-tab layout, including Overview, Topology, Wi-Fi, Client, and Traffic, delivering richer visual insights. The newly designed interface and menus make the configuration and management experience smoother. New visualisations, like AP density maps and heatmaps helps IT teams understand user behaviour and deployment performance, at a glance.

A standout addition is the multi-level health scoring system, available in the cloud-based controller. It automatically evaluates the status of devices, clients, WLANs, and sites, enabling simplified monitoring and early detection of issues across multiple layers.

Smart Topology has also been upgraded with real-time VLAN visibility and disconnected device tracking. Customisable filters make it easier to locate faults and streamline troubleshooting. Enhanced client recognition now identifies device type, brand, and models automatically, while the new device and client page visualises activity timelines and event history for full lifecycle management.

Configuration is faster than ever with a simple three step VLAN setup and centralised bulk port management across switches. These improvements eliminate guesswork and reduce configuration time from hours to minutes, especially in large-scale deployments.

Omada Design Hub: A Free, Easy, and Intelligent Online Network Planning Tool

Integrated with Omada’s comprehensive solution, the Omada Design Hub is a free, cloud-based network planner, offering AI-powered precision at every stage of deployment. Whether you’re designing for offices, homes, hotels, or schools, Omada Design Hub helps you simulate, visualise, and deliver tailored solutions with confidence.

Users can upload floor plans, auto-detect walls, and instantly generate Wi-Fi heatmaps. The platform supports auto AP placement and cabling, including cross-floor connections, and one-click proposal exports with topology maps, device lists, and simulation results. It supports users to personalise reports for clients, speeding up communication and delivery.

Tools like bulk adjustments, editable equipment lists with pricing, and real-time topology updates make planning faster and more accurate. Adaptive spatial models and signal strength calculations ensure reliable coverage and installation-ready designs.

Omada App 5.0 and Wi-Fi Navi App 1.5: Mobile Tools for Network Management and Validation

The Omada App 5.0 complements Network 6.0 with a refreshed interface and smoother interactions, enabling remote monitoring and configuration with ease.

Meanwhile, the Omada Wi-Fi Navi App V1.5, a free networking troubleshooting tools, expands its toolkit for installers and administrators. New features include Wi-Fi Integrated Test, Walking Test, IP/Port Scanners, Public IP Lookup, and Bandwidth/PoE calculators. With iPerf2 support and improved scanning, it’s now easier than ever to validate deployments and resolve issues on-site.

From network planning to management, these upgrades mark a significant evolution in the Omada ecosystem, empowering users to plan smarter, deploy faster, and manage networks with greater precision and confidence.

TP-Link UK launches Matter-certified smart plug with energy monitoring

TP-Link, a leading provider of reliable smart home devices, has today announced the UK launch of its Matter-compatible, energy-monitoring smart plug, the Tapo P110M. This smart plug is compatible with all certified smart home platforms, such as Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings.

Harmonising the smart home

Tapo is one of the first brands to obtain the Matter 1.0 certification and the root certificate issued by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). With the introduction of Tapo P110M, TP-Link is promoting the practical application of the Matter protocol, enabling users to adopt, and benefit from, a more seamless smart home experience. Users simply need to scan the provided QR code on their smartphones and the Tapo P110M will be automatically configured to their home network for complete integration, right out of the box.

Tapo supports various flexible controls, including remote, voice and local.  Now, with the Matter protocol, all Matter-certified devices in a user’s local area network (LAN) are accessible through the Tapo app even if their home goes offline.

Intelligent and energy-efficient

Tapo P110M’s standout feature is its energy monitoring ability. This smart plug provides detailed insight into appliance power usage via clear data visualisation on the Tapo app, meaning users can track exactly how much energy a connected appliance uses and apply this data to calculate energy bills. For any power-hungry ‘vampire’ devices, Tapo P110M can schedule usage for off-peak hours, conserving electricity.

For complete control of smart home technologies, users can also schedule an advanced Auto-Off Timer, which automatically shuts off connected devices if the Tapo Matter plug remains on for a specified duration. Further smart features, such as away mode, and smart actions like setting sleep times and ‘arrive home’ times, are also supported in the Tapo app.

Into the Matter-verse

With the addition of Tapo P110M, TP-Link is reinforcing its dedication to improving the user experience with further upcoming Matter-certified launches later this year including smart bulbs and smart switches.

TP-Link Launches its fastest Omada Access Point to Date EAP670 Allowing Businesses to Reach Wi-Fi Speeds up to 5.4 Gbps

TP-Link, a leading global provider of consumer and business networking products, today announces the arrival of the new EAP670, the latest blazing-fast AX5400 Ceiling Mount Wi-Fi 6 Access Point in its cloud-managed Omada range.

Available today in the UK, the new Omada EAP670 Access Points enable superior Wi-Fi 6 speeds of up to 5.4 Gbps which enable seamless connections for more devices than any other system before, specially designed for high-density environments that rely on network connectivity. 

Omada EAP670 includes automatic channel selection and transmit power adjustment settings to minimise channel interference from neighbouring Access Points. 

The PoE-powered access points are easy to mount and do not require any electrical wiring. EAP 670 supports both standard 802.3at PoE+ and DC power supply.

EAP670 also comes with a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port to be able to leverage its high performance.

EAP670 also supports 160 MHz channels in the 5 GHz band, which allow to double the data at peak transmission times on a single stream with respect to the use of 80 MHz channels, the maximum channel bandwidth supported in previous models.

The Omada Software Defined Networking (SDN) platform allows for easy management of all network devices such as Access Points, switches, and routers. The system provides completely centralised cloud management of a highly scalable network, controlled from a single interface. The Omada app enables the configuration of settings, network status monitoring, and client management, all from the convenience of a smartphone or tablet.
