TP-Link Omada OC400 Hardware Controller
Centralised Network Management Without the Cloud Dependency
The TP-Link Omada OC400 is a dedicated hardware controller designed to manage your entire Omada SDN network from a single, on-premises device. Purpose-built for businesses, hospitality venues, schools, and multi-site deployments across Australia, the OC400 eliminates the need for a cloud subscription while delivering enterprise-grade network visibility and control.
Product Description
The OC400 runs the Omada Software Controller natively on dedicated hardware, giving network administrators a stable, always-on management platform. With support for up to 500 Omada devices — including access points, switches, and routers — it scales comfortably from small business environments to large campus deployments. The intuitive web-based dashboard and Omada app provide full visibility over connected clients, traffic analytics, and device health, all without relying on an internet connection or third-party cloud service.
