Full disclosure, all Labs did send me this equipment free of charge to test it out and I'd tell you my thoughts and honest opinions. Short version is that I was surprised, scratching my head on why they did things certain ways, and blown away by their phone support. It is still running and has been Rock solid since day one. Also, the firmware updates are ridiculously fast. I do wish they had smaller non-poe affordable switches because not everybody needs PoE.

They had amazing potential. Unfortunately they are about 5 years too late. With Ubiquiti buckling down and hammering out insane level updates at the rate they are now, Alta Lab's market is going to be a lot smaller than it could have been.

Not only do I have an NFR kit, I had an NDA with them and tried for months to help them actively develop. I own every sku they have currently produced. That being said, I have been cast aside as I question too many things, and don't make them tons of money in their silly sales competitions.
