Omada controllers: one dashboard for every Omada device on site.
An Omada controller is what turns separate TP-Link Omada switches, access points and gateways into one managed network. Configure Wi-Fi once and push it to every access point, watch PoE usage across switches, and see the whole site at a glance. The OC200 and OC300 are dedicated hardware controllers that sit on the network permanently. Zenith is an official TP-Link VAR Partner.
