Alta Labs is built for multi-faceted network implementation and installation, but the AV space has been a focus for our team for many reasons. Believe it or not, Alta Labs has a long history intertwined in the Pro AV space, spanning decades and including world-recognized products and brands. The AV professional is an important part of our brand vision, and makes us a top contender for the best network solution for Audio Video projects.
The Alta Labs user interface and controller (whether you prefer our cloud, local, or self-hosted option) are built for ease of use. Our simple and easy configuration and implementation are built so our network switches work easily with AVOIP and MOIP solutions you’re familiar with, such as AV Pro Edge, Bluestream, and Dante. We’ve built relationships with these brands to integrate with our products seamlessly. Part of our development team's initiative is the constant testing of products in the AV space, like streaming and smart home audio solutions. VSSL is one of our sibling brands, so we test all of their products to ensure a smooth connection so that those who take advantage of the entire Soundvision Technologies portfolio enjoy a wide and seamless experience - it is in our best interest that these products work together seamlessly.
Alta Labs has sibling brands like TruAudio, VSSL, and Forge - notable brands in the AV space for over 2 decades. Many of our team come from the AV space, and take special precautions and notice to ensure all of our brands are in harmony when implemented together in projects. Our current CEO, Chase Harrison, has come directly out of the AV space, with over a decade of experience installing, maintaining, and creating AV-focused products. The AV space isn’t just part of our heritage - it’s part of our future!
One of the things we are excited to offer by Alta Labs is a SKU-specific Access Point for the AV professional, launching without an online MSRP, providing added features to the installer, and allowing the AV professional to create the margin they need for their projects where networking is included. The Summit-A6 will be a Wifi 6 Access Point with all the benefits of our AP6 Pro, plus some additional features, including a longer manufacturer’s warranty. This product will not be showcased on our website and will be installed for purchase only in bulk order quantities. This product was made specifically for the AV professional.
For AV, IT, and MSP offerings, we strive to be channel-friendly and margin-focused, ensuring our installers have easy access to stock with additional margin built in per product. We enforce MAP pricing where possible, so there’s no race to the bottom line, giving you more control over the pricing and competition in your area.
Our products are built to be reliable for your end users. We use hardware that allows for incredible roaming performance to ensure that WiFi calling and customer experience are always top tier. We understand that the less you have to revisit a project because of an unhappy customer, the better!
Another exciting feature we are currently launching is AltaBoost. AltaBoost is a carrier offloading ability on our Access Points that allows regular cell phone/cell tower traffic to be rerouted to the APs. This feature lets you clean up high-frequency cell traffic areas - but that’s not all. If traffic is deemed high enough, this also opens the door for carriers to offer incentives for taking stress off their cell towers. Those incentives can be kept by the installer or shared with the end user. Either way, it opens the door for another avenue of income through carrier incentives or gives you an upper hand in negotiations when trying to land projects.
The biggest compliment we’ve received from AV Pros who have switched to Alta Labs is “it just works”. Our highest adoption rate of professionals is from those who get their hands on the product and test it themselves. We even offer an NFR starter kit - a highly discounted starter kit of Alta Labs products - to any project-based WiFi installer that wants to try Alta Labs for the first time. We know that the products speak for themselves - all you have to do is test them out.
Our APs outperform our competition, inside and outside the Pro AV-focused manufacturers, by 20-40% in range throughput. Frequently, Pro AV customers will immediately run speed tests behind a new network and see the same internet speed to their phone as they are paying their ISP for. Alta Labs hardware and software are built from the ground up - no refacing of already existing products and slapping a logo on them. We are doing things differently from the competition, which allows us to take advantage of current technology like never before. Our APs are hardware-heavy, allowing much of the work to be done at the point of contact and keeping the connection to the management platform of choice simple and streamlined.
AV professionals use our Access Points not only for performance but also for aesthetics. Our outward-facing products are sleek and modern, blending into home design without creating an eyesore. Our Access Points were showcased in many houses in the Parade of Homes exhibition projects due to their sleek and minimal look.
Our user interface is designed for ease of use, whether it’s your first Alta Labs install or your hundredth. The product adoption and tiled design are easy enough for end users to utilize, but technical enough for professionals to get the most out of it. We’re always enhancing the UI and ensuring the user experience is the main priority.
Alta Labs is proud to offer a zero license model - yes, you read that right. Our management platform does not have a monthly cost, and we’ve guaranteed that it will continue to stay that way for all the features we have available now, and have planned for the foreseeable future.
Our cloud management platform is easily accessible at manage.alta.inc. You can also manage your networks using the Alta Networks app in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. This makes checking in on a project easy to do if you’re on the run and need to make changes from your phone.
If you’re open to switching to Alta Labs, but are nervous about the transition time, you do not need to worry. We have a myriad of support and training options available for you to use. Our YouTube channel features training videos to help guide you from installation, feature implementation, and more. We also have an active forum where installers, end users, and our team join forces to answer any technical questions. Lastly, we have a dedicated support team ready to assist your support-related needs via chat, email, and even phone - and we don’t charge for our support! Purchasing Alta Labs qualifies you for access to our in-house support team.
We can talk about the benefits of Alta Labs in the AV space ‘til we are blue in the face, but we’ve also put rubber to the road and have actual case studies implemented and shared to show you examples of Alta Labs taking AV-focused projects to the next level. Here are some examples:
We are confident Alta Labs is the best network solution for the Pro AV space. One of our AV brand siblings' slogans is “built by installers, for installers” - that slogan has bled into the work we’ve done at Alta Labs to ensure our products work seamlessly in your Audio Video projects. So, what are you waiting for? Let's Elevate Your Network together!
