A Sweet Dream, or a Beautiful Nightmare?

Choosing the right networking platform shouldn’t give you nightmares.

With TP-Link Omada, you don’t have to compromise on performance, flexibility or value.

Whether you’re deploying a single customer site or managing networks across multiple locations, Omada Fusion offers a cost-effective alternative to UniFi Cloud Gateways and Dream Machines. Paired with our services, it can be a compelling option.

Full 2.5G Connectivity. Great Value.

Why pay more for features your customers don’t need?

The TP-Link Omada Fusion 2.5G delivers five 2.5G ports, an integrated network controller and competitive performance, all at an attractive price point.

Compared with the Ubiquiti UCG-Max, the Fusion offers the same full 2.5G port connectivity, while avoiding the additional NVMe storage hardware that many networking and VoIP deployments simply don’t require. This can help reduce exposure to the rising costs and supply uncertainties currently affecting memory-based components.

A Network Management Dream

One of Omada’s biggest advantages is the flexibility to choose how your networks are managed.

All-in-One: 

Combine routing + controller functionality in a single Fusion device

Cloud-Managed: 

Pair a more affordable router, such as the ER707-M2, with Omada’s cloud-based controller

Cloud Without Controller Hardware:

Omada Cloud Essentials offers a free cloud-hosted controller for smaller deployments, with paid & self-hosted options for more advanced requirements & management across multiple sites.

The result? More freedom over hardware costs and how you manage multiple customer sites.

And What About Ubiquiti UniFi?

UniFi offers a broad range of gateways and network management options, with models designed for different deployment sizes and requirements.

From multi-gigabit connectivity to integrated PoE capabilities, there’s plenty to consider when comparing the hardware.

Taking a More Technical Approach

The best gateway isn’t necessarily the one with the longest feature list. It’s the one that delivers the right performance, functionality and value for your customer’s needs.

Both TP-Link’s Omada Fusion 2.5G and Ubiquiti’s UCG-Max offer five 2.5G ports, built-in network management and support for deployments with hundreds of clients. But there are some important differences to consider:

Omada Fusion 2.5G

  • Lower market price: (approx. 27% less)
  • IPS/IDS throughput: 2.1 Gbps v 1.5 Gbps for UCG-Max (although Ubiquiti states up to approx. 2.3 Gbps with UniFi OS 4.1+)
  • Larger touchscreen: 2.51” v UCG-Max’s 0.96” display
  • More flexible mounting: Rack mounting is also available for Fusion, but unavailable for the UCG-Max
  • Built-in content filtering: 81 content-filter categories included

Ubiquiti UCG-Max

  • Built-in NVMe storage: 512GB for UniFi Protect applications, useful for customers using Ubiquiti’s camera ecosystem

The UCG-Max’s storage may be valuable for surveillance deployments, but for customers primarily focused on networking and VoIP, Fusion’s lower entry price could make it a more cost-effective choice.

The Reality Behind the Dream: What Matters to Your Customers? Not just the specifications, but the cost of the hardware and the features they’ll actually use must be considered to prevent an installation from becoming a nightmare.

Explore the Fusion Range

TP-Link’s Fusion Gateway Series covers a range of deployment requirements, with potential Ubiquiti comparisons including:

Fusion Max 10G PoE v UDM Pro Max or UDM SE (with PoE)
Fusion Max 10G v UDM Pro
Fusion Pro 10G v UCG-Fiber
Fusion Pro 2.5G PoE v UCG-Max & Flex 2.5G PoE
Fusion Pro 2.5G v UCG-Max
Fusion Pro Wi-Fi 7 v Unifi Dream Router 7
Fusion 2.5G & Fusion G+ v UCG-Ultra
Fusion Wi-Fi 7 v Unifi Express & Unifi Express 7

Make Every Deployment a Dream with ProVu

Great hardware is only part of the story. With ProVu, you can simplify the entire deployment process.

Our zero-touch provisioning service takes care of the groundwork, so your engineers don’t have to.

  • Devices arrive pre-assigned to the customer’s Omada site
  • No need to unbox devices to retrieve & enter individual device details
  • ProVu can ship directly to the deployment site
  • Orders can be placed through ProSys or your own API
  • UK-based stock, ready for quick dispatch
  • UK-based support available from our no-nonsense Tech Support Team
Less manual configuration. Fewer logistical headaches. More time for your next project.

Once your ProVu account is set up, you can easily order Omada devices through ProSys or your own API. All you need to do is get yourself set up first and you can do that by contacting us. Then include in all future Omada orders an Omada site name, then we’ll assign the product IDs and device details on your behalf and can ship directly to that site. There’s no need to wait to unbox the devices and DIY then post again; they’ll arrive at their final location for the next stage of configuration.

Ready to Rethink Your Next Network Deployment?

Discover how TP-Link Omada and ProVu can help you deliver reliable, cost-effective networking solutions without the deployment headaches. Speak with us today to get started. Call 01484 840048 or contact@provu.co.uk to speak with a member of our team.

Did you know we can now push your Omada devices directly to your own Omada platform?

Managing multiple customers, sites and Omada devices can become a lot of admin.

Unlike devices using standards such as TR-069 and TR-369, TP-Link Omada devices use their own management platform. This means they need to be assigned to the correct customer site before they can be deployed.

That’s where ProVu’s zero-touch provisioning service can help.

We Do the Setup So You Don’t Have To

Once your account is set up, ordering Omada devices through ProSys is simple.

When ordering, provide the Omada site name (existing one or create a new one).

We’ll use the details from your order to:

  • Create the relevant customer site
  • Add the devices to the correct site
  • Handle the required device info
  • Prepare the devices for deployment

So when your equipment arrives, it’s already linked to the right customer and location, ready for the next stage of setup.

Supporting Both Omada Deployment Options

Whether you use
TP-Link’s cloud-hosted Omada platform
or choose the
self-hosted option,
we can help.

With self-hosted deployments, devices are added using a device key or device ID rather than the serial number. As this information isn’t available on the outside of the box, it can create an additional manual step.

We work with TP-Link to obtain the required device key / ID in advance, allowing us to configure these devices without your team having to handle the process themselves.

Ready to Streamline Your Next Omada Deployment?

Getting started is simple. Speak to our team and we’ll walk you through the requirements for setting up your Omada push service.

Once your account is ready, just provide the relevant customer and site details through ProSys when you order. We’ll take care of the pre-configuration before your devices leave ProVu.

Explore the full range of TP-Link Omada products and prices via our reseller portal, ProSys. Call us on 01484 840048 or email contact@provu.co.uk to place your order.

6 Ways to Improve the Guest Experience with Snom Hospitality

In hospitality, the little details can make a big difference. From the moment a guest checks in, to the moment they check out, reliable communication plays an important role in delivering a smooth, memorable experience.

With Snom’s hospitality devices, hotels and accommodation providers can build communication into the guest experience – combining practical functionality with flexibility, branding and ease of deployment.

6 Ways Snom Can Help Improve the Guest Experience:

1. Guest Room Phones

Give guests a simple, familiar way to reach reception, room service and other hotel services. Snom’s range of hospitality-focused phones provides the functionality guests need without adding unnecessary complexity.

2. Stay Connected with Cordless Phones

Whether they’re being used by housekeeping, reception, maintenance or other hotel staff, cordless devices give teams the freedom to stay connected while moving around the property.

3. Integrate with Your Existing Systems

Snom devices can integrate with existing telephony and hotel systems, helping create a more connected communication environment across the property.

With analogue variants available, they can also be seamlessly integrated with legacy systems.

4. Support Emergency Calling

Reliable communication is essential when it matters most. Snom devices can support emergency calling requirements while helping staff and guests quickly access the assistance they need.

5. Put Your Brand at the Heart of the Experience

Hospitality is all about creating a consistent experience. Snom devices offer opportunities for branding.

With custom faceplates. These allow hotels to reinforce their identity through guest room communications and dedicated service buttons.

6. Easy to Deploy and Manage

Rolling out communications across a hotel can be complex, particularly across multiple rooms, floors or locations. Snom devices are designed to make deployment straightforward, helping reduce installation time and simplify ongoing management. We can even label devices up for you, so it’s clear where they need to go when they arrive on site!

Communication that works as hard as your hospitality team

Martyn’s Law: Are Your Customers Ready to Meet the Enhanced Requirements?

As the implementation of Martyn’s Law (The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025) moves closer, organisations responsible for premises with an expected capacity of 800 or more people (including staff) should already be reviewing their security and emergency response plans.

If any of your customers manage a:

✓ University or college campus

✓ NHS Trust or major hospital

✓ Theatre or concert venue

✓ Stadium or sports venue

✓ Museum or large art gallery

✓ Exhibition or conference centre

✓ Large place of worship

✓ Major visitor attraction

✓ Civic building or public venue

then it is likely to fall within the Enhanced Tier.

Enhanced Tier Brings Additional Responsibilities

Unlike Standard Tier, Enhanced Tier organisations are expected to demonstrate a more comprehensive and documented approach to protecting people from terrorist incidents.

This includes taking reasonably practical steps to:

✓ Assess the risks specific to your premises

✓ Develop and maintain security procedures

✓ Coordinate response across multiple teams & locations

✓ Control access to buildings and sensitive areas

✓ Communicate with staff, visitors & emergency services

✓ Support evacuation, lockdown & invacuation procedures

✓ Review, monitor & continually improve security

Technology alone doesn’t create compliance, but the right solutions can play a crucial role in supporting these responsibilities.

Build a Connected Security & Communication Strategy

Intelligent Access Control

2N IP Verso 2.0
2N Force 2.0

2N IP Verso 2.0
with Enhanced Integration Licence

2N Force 2.0
Modular IP Intercom

Purpose-built for high-security perimeter entrances, the Force 2.0 delivers vandal-resistant audio and video communication at vehicle entrances, loading bays, staff entrances and public access points.

Site-Wide Emergency Notification

Algo 8180

Algo 8180
SIP Audio Alerter

Deliver clear voice announcements to individual buildings, departments or entire campuses, supporting rapid evacuation or lockdown.

Algo 8128

Algo 8128
SIP Strobe Light

High-intensity visual alerting helps ensure emergency notifications are seen as well as heard, improving accessibility and awareness across busy public spaces.

Algo 8138

Algo 8138
SIP Visual Alerter

Ensures critical alerts are seen too through high-visibility flashing. Ideal for noisy environments and to aid those with hearing impairments.

Unified Command & Incident Management

Large venues often require more than simply broadcasting announcements.

From a single operator console, security teams can monitor events, initiate emergency broadcasts, communicate with staff, view live video feeds and coordinate responses across multiple buildings or sites.

Fanvil A330i

Fanvil A330i
Unified Dispatch Console

The Fanvil A330i Unified Dispatch Console provides a central communications platform that combines SIP paging and public addressing, intercom management, emergency broadcasting, live video monitoring, alarm management, remote device control, visual dispatch and incident coordination.

Intelligent Video Communication

Fanvil A513W

Fanvil A513W
Video Speaker

The Fanvil A513W Video Speaker is designed for environments requiring enhanced monitoring and rapid communication. Combining HD video, two-way SIP communication, emergency broadcasting and remote monitoring, it enables security teams to communicate directly with people at key locations while supporting wider incident management procedures.

Integrated CCTV & Security Platforms

Enhanced Tier organisations frequently operate enterprise CCTV systems.

The 2N IP Verso 2.0 can integrate with Milestone XProtect and other ONVIF-compatible Video Management Systems, allowing operators to combine visitor management, door entry and live video into a single operational workflow, improving situational awareness during both everyday operations and emergency incidents.

Prepare Before Enforcement Begins

The statutory guidance for Martyn’s Law has now been published, with enforcement expected in Spring 2027.

Now is the ideal time to prompt your customers to review their existing infrastructure and consider whether their communication, access control and incident management systems are capable of supporting the wider preparedness strategy.

Ask your customers:

✓ Can security coordinate across multiple buildings?

✓ Can you communicate with thousands immediately?

✓ Do your access and CCTV systems work together?

✓ Can emergency announcements reach all indoor
and outdoor areas?

✓ Do operators have a single platform for managing
communications during an incident?

If the answer to any of these is “not yet”, we can help.

How Can ProVu Help?

Our Technical and Sales Teams can work with you to identify solutions from 2N, Algo and Fanvil that will best support your wider Martyn’s Law preparedness strategy and integrate with your existing security infrastructure.

We can also help speed up your setup time through our pre-configuration services, meaning that all your hardware will arrive ready to plug-and-play straight away. One less headache for your customers’ teams. On top of this, we can also ship items in your own branded packaging so your customer knows it’s come from you, and we’ll be your behind-the-scenes wingmen.

Speak to our team today to discuss the right solution for your customers’ organisations. Please call 01484 840048 or email us. Pricing and stock information can be seen on our reseller portal, ProSys.

We’re Tackling 24-mile Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in Aid of Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice

Members of our team are preparing to take on one of Yorkshire’s most demanding walking challenges this month, with the aim of raising vital funds for local charity Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice.

The challenge will see the team complete the 24-mile route through the Yorkshire Dales, taking in the three peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, with approximately 1,585 metres of ascent to conquer along the way. The team will also be working against the traditional 12-hour target for completing the route.

Five staff members will be completing the climb on Saturday 12th September 2026 (photographed left to right):

Technical Solutions Director Muhammad Bajwa

Sales Development Representative Andrew Riding

Managing Director Justin Carl

Technical Support Team Leader Luke Warby

Group Marketing Manager Kate Figg

The challenge forms the first event in a planned programme of fundraising activities by the ProVu team, with the aim of supporting the work of Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice, which provides care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families across West Yorkshire and surrounding areas.

Commenting on the challenge, ProVu’s Managing Director Justin Carl said:

We have all been touched by the amazing work Forget Me Not does for families across our local area and we wanted to do something that would not only raise money but also challenge us as a team.

The Yorkshire Three Peaks certainly gives us a challenge! Twenty-four miles and three peaks is going to test us and I’m sure there will be some very tired legs and aching feet by the end of it.

This is just the first event in our fundraising calendar and our aim is to raise as much as we can for this incredible charity. We’re really looking forward to getting out there, taking on the challenge together and hopefully getting plenty of support along the way.

Justin Carl

The team is encouraging customers, suppliers, partners and friends to support their fundraising efforts, with every donation helping Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice continue its work with local families.
