Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) need more than just a basic internet connection – they require a network that is secure, scalable, and built to withstand disruptions. Whether it’s ensuring uninterrupted operations, supporting voice and video applications, or preparing for the PSTN switch-off, the right networking solution can make all the difference when it comes to efficient business growth.

With Omada’s SDN, businesses can divide and create VLANs without hassle and easily put the voice, data and video devices onto separated networks – eliminating errors, improving efficiency, and reducing IT overhead.
This combination of scalability, security, and cost efficiency makes Omada an ideal choice for SMBs as well as hotels, retail stores, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions looking for an enterprise-grade network without unnecessary complexity.
Built for business continuity: Introducing the DR3650v-4G
A key addition to the Omada managed portfolio is the DR3650v-4G, a powerful router designed to keep businesses online no matter what. With the same VDSL and fibre capabilities as the DR3650v, this model adds a SIM card slot for 4G failover or load balancing, ensuring seamless connectivity in the event of any ISP network disruptions.
Nelson Qiao, Managing Director at TP-Link UK said: “In a unified communications environment, downtime isn’t an option. Our latest router ensures business continuity with automatic 4G failover, keeping critical systems like hosted voice, SIP trunks, and cloud applications running smoothly. At TP-Link, we continue to innovate to deliver reliable networking solutions that support our partners of all sizes, and DR3650v-4G is yet another product to reflect that commitment.”
With a growing reliance on cloud-based solutions, the DR3650v-4G offers a cost-effective, plug-and-play solution that safeguards against downtime, reducing business risk and ensuring continuous operations.
