§The Omada Cloud-Based Controller offers the Essentials version of cloud services for free, while the Standard version, which includes advanced features, requires a license.
†These functions require the use of the Omada Controller. Zero-Touch Provisioning requires the use of the Omada Cloud-Based Controller (Omada Cloud Standard or Omada Cloud Essentials). Go to the Omada Cloud-Based Controller (Omada Cloud Standard) Product List or Omada Cloud Essentials Product List to find all the supported models.
‡This switch supports PoE Auto Recovery under Standalone Mode (managed separately without a controller) and supports manual PoE Recovery under Controller Mode (centrally managed with a controller).
△QoS and Priority Mode are supported under Standalone Mode.
*PoE budget calculations are based on laboratory testing. The actual PoE power budget is not guaranteed and will vary due to client limitations and environmental factors.
**The speed of the ports that support 250m PoE transmission will be downgraded to 10 Mbps. Actual transmission distance may vary depending on the quality of the cables.

Key Reasons to Choose Omada Networks
1. Centralized Management
Omada’s Software Defined Networking (SDN) platform allows you to manage routers, switches, and wireless access points from a single dashboard instead of configuring each device separately.
2. Cloud-Based Monitoring
You can remotely monitor and manage customer sites from anywhere using the Omada cloud platform and mobile app, making it ideal for MSPs and IT providers.
3. No Ongoing License Fees
Unlike some enterprise networking brands, Omada offers cloud management without recurring per-device licensing costs, reducing long-term ownership expenses.
