HEAD – ENTERPRISE SOLUTION CONSULTING, TP-LINK

“TP-Link is a global innovator and provider of consumer and SMB networking products and the world's No.1 provider of WLAN and broadband CPE devices*, with products available in over 170 countries to tens of millions of customers. Omada” represents our enterprise networking portfolio, and the word itself means “team.” The idea behind the name reflects the concept of software-defined networking-where every networking component works together seamlessly. Whether it is wired data networks, wireless infrastructure, switches, routers, or gateways, all elements can be centrally managed through a single unified dashboard. One of TP-Link’s strongest endorsements is its consistent recognition in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for seven consecutive years. This reflects both the completeness of our vision and the maturity of our enterprise-ready solutions, as well as our sustained market growth. TP-Link has been operating in the enterprise segment for over a decade, steadily expanding its footprint.

Our current Omada portfolio includes both cloud-based controllers and software controllers. These controllers do more than simply manage network components—they also incorporate advanced capabilities, including AI-driven features. We offer a comprehensive range of access points, including ceiling-mounted, wall-plate, and outdoor models, and we have recently expanded into fiber and GPON access points as well. On the switching side, our portfolio has advanced significantly-we now support speeds up to 100G, a substantial leap from the 20G capacity we offered as recently as last year.

Nowadays we also talk about high-density access points. So in a big conference hall, where many people are connected to a single device, that device can cater to all the users. So that is a high density access point. TP-Link is also the first to get WiFi 7 routers. While WiFi 6 was built in response to the growing number of devices in the world, WiFi 7's goal is to deliver astounding speeds for every device with greater efficiency. In India, the 6 GHz band was not allowed as the government wanted to control it as a spectrum. In January 2026, India's Department of Telecommunications officially de-licensed the lower 6 GHz band (MHz) for indoor and low-power outdoor Wi-Fi 6E and Wi- Fi 7 use. So by the end of February, we will receive the first lot of Wi-Fi 7, which will have the higher band disabled for the 6 GHz band and the lower band enabled. Through ongoing collaboration with ecosystem partners, TP-Link is dedicated to advancing the technologies that will shape the next era of connectivity, offering users unprecedented speed, stability and reliability.”
