I wanted to share our recent experiences with Alta Labs, which really goes back to the past year to year and a half.
When Alta first started shipping we gave it a shot, which is not the norm for us. Historically when we try a brand new product it’s full of service issues, and for that reason we typically do not install new products until it has been out a while.
In full transparency we did have a few minor issues earliy on, which again was well over a year ago. Those issues are long resolved, and Alta is now our goto network products. Prior to Alta our goto was Ruckus.
We have found that the Alta product works very, we have used it in houses that range from 4000sq/ft to 16,000 sq/ft. Two things that I particualtly like is the ability to adjust the power on each of the bands, this is a feature that Ruckus has but have not found on the other products we have tried, and I find this partuclar feature extremely powerful for tuning the APs for client handoffs. The other feature that I like is the app and website which Ruckus techinically has but it’s not nearly as easy to use.
