Retail Networking

  • Boost online business
  • Full WiFi coverage
  • Seamless roaming
  • High-concurrent clients
  • Easy management

With the growing reliance on smartphones for everyday activities, WiFi has the power to play an important role in the shopping experience. When a brick-and-mortar retailer offers free WiFi, this incentivizes customers to extend their visit, providing the opportunities to explore, discover, and make a purchase. A good wireless network cannot only serve the network office system of the mall, but also bring a more comfortable shopping experience to customers. The TP-Link Omada SDN Solution empowers store owners to create a modern and compelling in-store experience for every customer.

Network Requirements

  • Provide secure wired and wireless networks to managerial staff of the mall and store owners and staff, and reliable wired networks for 24-hour surveillance in the mall.
  • Provide high-density wireless connections to thousands of customers.
  • Seamless WiFi coverage in all areas of the mall, including outdoor areas such as parking lots.
  • Offer online advertising and promotional contents to increase the opportunity of boosting business.
  • Elegant appearance to blend with the mall decoration.
  • Easy centralized network management and convenient equipment maintenance
