Elevated Design & Experience
The Alta Labs AP6 Access Point features a compact form factor and a sleek aesthetic design allowing seamless integration into corporate, commercial, and residential environments.
The AP is powered over Ethernet for simple, clean installation. Versatile mounting hardware is included featuring our proprietary QuickMount™ technology for quick, simple mounting.

Mesh Connectivity
The AP6 features Mesh technology, which can extend your WiFi network to areas that may be difficult or unreachable with wired Ethernet.

High Performance WiFi 6
Built on Qualcomm's dual-band, 4-stream WiFi 6 networking platform, the AP6 delivers optimal 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi 6 performance.

Superior Range and Performance
Our proprietary antenna design provides superior range and performance. Engineered by a team with extensive WiFi design expertise, the AP6 provides seamless roaming and advanced traffic management to ensure a superior WiFi experience.

Scalable Cloud-Based Management
Alta Labs provides an intuitive and easy-to-use cloud-based management interface for Alta Labs access points and switches. Designed for optimum scalability using a high-availability architecture for the ultimate in convenience and worldwide accessibility.
Built on a worldwide content delivery network to optimize response and latency, our global cloud infrastructure ensures geographically optimized connectivity through our redundant network.
Deploy and manage multiple sites quickly and easily. Add, delete, or rename sites instantly. Toggle between sites from a site selection drop-down. Each site contains its own data set.

Advanced Filtering - DPI Engine
The Alta Labs access points have a powerful built-in Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine.
By incorporating this feature directly in the access points, there is no need to purchase additional hardware to take advantage of this powerful tool.

• Restrict access to websites, applications, or application types. Filter settings are easily applied in the Alta Labs web management interface.
• Select applications or application types in the Block Applications drop-down menu.
• Block websites by typing in their domain names in the Block Domains field.

Mobile App
Monitor and manage your networks from the convenience of your mobile device using the Alta Networks app. Sign up for an Alta Labs account using just your name, email, and password or sign in using your Google or Apple account.

AltaPass™ Multi-Password Technology
AltaPass is a unique Alta Labs feature that allows clients to connect to the same wireless network SSID using different passwords. Clients are provided with different network and internet access levels based on the password they use to connect to the network.

When a password is created, select from one of the predefined standard use cases. The password can then also be associated with a specific upload or download rate, a VLAN, or set to bypass the filtering rules, the hotspot functionality, or to ignore the schedule.

• Standard/Small - Typical network with less than 100 WiFi clients/devices
• Large - Optimized for hundreds to thousands of WiFi clients/devices
• IoT - Restricted to Internet and local incoming connections only
• Internet only - Restricted to Internet only
• Guest - Restricted to Internet and IoT devices

Hotspot Functionality
Built-in functionality to create your own local hotspot with a logo, title page, terms of service, and a final landing page.
You also have the option to redirect to an external captive portal.

On-The-Fly Changes and Scanning
Configuration changes do not require a reboot of your network. Changes can be made without taking your network down.
Scan your AP environment without disrupting your WiFi network.

Wireless Network Colour Coding
Patent pending functionality that allows you to assign groups to wireless SSIDs and then assign membership to wireless access points.

SSID Broadcasting Flexibility
In addition to standard functionality such as hiding your SSID, you can continue broadcasting your SSID during a “scheduled off” event.

This provides network admins with the ability to grant users additional time on the network. A user can request access via a captive portal displayed when they try to access the network.

Status Snapshots
View upload and download throughput with a visual timeline on the dashboard for each AP displayed along with the number of connected devices, average processor load, channel load, and average connected devices.

Select a snapshot of the last minute, last hour, last two days, or last two months.

Customizable Dashboard
Customize your dashboard with the information you want to see: IP address, Load, number of devices, MAC address, firmware version, wireless network color assignment, and real-time status details. Details are sortable by column.

Device Cards
Easily view connection details and configure your access points or client connections by clicking the device icon.

Alta Labs’ cloud-based management platform is included with the purchase of Alta Labs products at no additional cost. It powers thousands of devices from small home and office configurations to large-scale enterprise installs. Your customers deserve peace of mind regarding the security of their networks and the policies and infrastructure in place to ensure that security carries into managing network policy.
Alta Labs does not route any customer network traffic processed by Alta Labs Wireless Access Points, Network Switches, Routers, Gateways, etc. through its cloud infrastructure. Only customer network configuration information is stored in our cloud management platform. Configuration information is not stored in our cloud for the Control hardware or self-hosted software. Alta Labs devices do not need consistent access to our management platform to operate properly. They only require access when a site administrator or user wants to change network policy, view the network status, or run utilization reports.

Alta Labs does not store any configuration data in the cloud for the self-hosted version of Control. Their security efforts are led by our top-level team of Alta Labs employees, including our CEO Chase Harrison, CTO Jeff Hansen, and Principal Architect Chris Buechler.
