We installed two Alta Labs S16-PoE switches that are connected over 600m with fiber. The switches are being used in a school complex and a kindergarten. With this approach we eliminated the need for customer to pay two separate ISP uplinks. Using VLANs and different Wi-Fi accesses with Alta Pass we made monitoring and device supervision easier and quicker for local school admin. The kindergarten also uses two Alta Labs AP6 access points to provide stable and fast internet access for mobile devices, laptops and VoIP telephony . With PoE managed ports admins also have to power to remotely reboot PoE IP phones, APs, …. . ![Screenshot 2024-09-05 at 17.54.44](https://forum.alta.inc/uploads/default/original/2X/b/bb223b385a306f99689c8bd9a0aa950840bf8973.jpeg) ![IMG_0001](https://forum.alta.inc/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d7e4dbca148d47ffeb7c19713220918f386bd426.jpeg) ![IMG_0002](https://forum.alta.inc/uploads/default/original/2X/1/12139961faaf7cde2a59deb671ca96d8542f065a.jpeg) ![img1](https://forum.alta.inc/uploads/default/original/2X/f/f53e96acfb0b00787a6a5855805e1b3075883976.jpeg) ---
