Alta Labs On-Premise Controller

The Alta Labs Control is an on-premise hardware controller built to manage Alta Labs WiFi 6 access points. It handles up to 1000 devices and supports deep packet inspection, VLANs, and customisable security policies. Multi-site management lets administrators oversee several locations from a single console. Power over Ethernet Plus supplies both data and power through one cable.

Enterprise IT teams needing local control

Network engineers who want on-premise management for Alta Labs WiFi 6 access points will fit this controller into their rack. Organisations that rely on cloud-only dashboards or manage mixed-vendor wireless hardware should look elsewhere because the unit works exclusively with Alta Labs equipment. Businesses requiring controller redundancy or hardware failover also need a different architecture.

Simple PoE+ deployment

Connect the controller to a PoE+ switch port using a single Ethernet cable and it powers up without a separate adapter. The compact 7.1 by 3.6 by 1 inch chassis fits on a shelf or in a standard rack tray. Ensure the switch port delivers sufficient PoE+ budget; under-powered ports are the most common cause of start-up failures. Bluetooth is available for initial setup if required.
