For many industries that have branches, like hotel chains, supermarket chains, restaurant chains, retail chains, company branches, university branches, and school branches, a virtual private network (VPN) is a way for different branches to share resources and communicate with each other. It also provides a secure method by which employees can access internal network servers when out of the office. IT managers at headquarters also need to manage and monitor the whole network and quickly find and repair network issues.
TP-Link Omada offers enterprise-level VPN, real-time network monitoring, and quick network troubleshooting to meet the requirements of headquarters and branches.

- Connect HQ and branches with secure VPN policies.
- Manage and maintain diverse and complex networks in a time-saving and economical way.
- High network stability to ensure uninterrupted business.
