We are a telecom operator in Romania, and we use Omada equipment to provide services to our customers. It's bundled into a service package that we sell to B2B customers who pay a subscription. The Omada controller is installed at our office, and the access points are deployed to the customer's location. While we normally cater to small and medium-sized enterprises, this is a solution that we sell to large enterprise companies.
We have been using Omada with open SSIDs and maybe an external Compass portal. When you are on an open wireless network, you must also isolate your client because it is not secure otherwise. The other method is to have an SSID with a password, and the password is typically not given to everyone. it's mostly for the staff.
The other SSID has a setting that allows devices to communicate with each other on the local network or with some external agents. It's typically used by staff as a business hub.
We use the mesh networking capabilities, but it's not one of the main features we use. We've used it off and on, but we generally refrain from using the mesh network. Instead, we typically run the access points through the cable to make sure the connection is always on.
For example, we have been using only one mesh, not multiple hubs because the performance usually degrades with every hub. If I were setting up a multi-hub mesh without Omada, I would see a reduction of speed by about half, so the first has maybe 500 megabytes and the second has 250, etc. That's not efficient. We prefer to use cable when possible.
