Omada Simplifies Network Planning, Deployment, and Management

by Angus Jones

Omada, TP-Link Systems Inc.โ€™s exclusive business solutions brand, today announced four major software upgrades designed to give MSPs, System Integrators, Installers, and IT Administrators smarter tools for Faster Troubleshooting, Simpler Planning, and more Reliable Performance. The updates include Omada Network 6.0, Omada App 5.0, the all-new Omada Design Hub, and Wi-Fi Navi App V1.5. Together, these upgrades deliver an Integrated Platform for Planning, Deploying, and Managing Software-Defined Networks end to end.

Omada Network 6.0: Faster Troubleshooting and Smarter Operations

Omada Network 6.0 introduces a redesigned interface that makes monitoring and configuration more intuitive for complex deployments. A new multi-tab dashboard provides at-a-glance visibility into topology, traffic, and client activity. At the same time, AP density maps and heatmaps offer instant insight into user behaviour and network performance. The Software upgrade also debuts a multi-level health scoring system that automatically evaluates devices, clients, WLANs, and sites, helping IT teams identify issues earlier and resolve them faster.

Smart Topology, a feature that provides a visual map of the Customerโ€™s Network, now comes with real-time VLAN visibility and disconnected device tracking for more efficient network management. Also part of the upgrade is enhanced client recognition that detects device type, brand, and model automatically. Additionally, new tools like wizard-based VLAN setup and centralised bulk port management cut configuration time from hours to minutes, especially in large-scale projects.

Omada Design Hub: Free Cloud-Based Network Planning

The new Omada Design Hub (https://design.tplinkcloud.com/) is a free, Cloud-based tool that makes Network planning faster and easier. Installers and Integrators can upload floor plans, automatically detect walls and other obstacles, and generate Wi-Fi heatmaps instantly. With AI-powered AP placement, cross-floor cabling, and one-click proposal exports, the software upgrade simplifies network design while improving communication with end clients.

The platform supports bulk adjustments, real-time topology updates, and editable equipment lists with pricing, enabling faster, more accurate planning. Adaptive spatial models and signal calculations ensure reliable coverage, giving partners the confidence to deliver installation-ready designs faster and at lower cost.

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

Omada App 5.0 refreshes the mobile interface for smoother monitoring and configuration, giving IT Admins an easier way to manage Networks remotely. The Omada Wi-Fi Navi App V1.5 expands its toolkit for Installers with new features, including Wi-Fi Integrated Test, Walking Test, IP/Port scanners, public IP lookup, and bandwidth/PoE calculators. With iPerf2 support and enhanced scanning, the app makes it simpler to validate deployments and troubleshoot issues on-site.
