Alta Labs S8-POE 

Note I said they were coming out with 24 and 48 port no clue why I kept saying that 🤪 they are coming out with 16 port and 24 pors

In this day and age surely new switches should be at least 2.5Gb.

The web interface seems very immature. Probably one 1-3 guys are working on it, and it only works the way they think it should work with a lot of assumptions. I'm sure the hardware all tests to perform as it should. I too am not a fan of having only half the ports being POE, and I think more SFP+ and 2.5G ports should be standard on newly designed equipment.

Those tiny popups in the interface for the switch config looks annoyingly small

The fact RGB is now being added to network gear is.....

Thanks for the video. On a Reel that I saw it was mentioned in the comments that the switches doesn't support Spanning Tree out of the box. The support for this protocol will come on a future firmware upgrade. Just heads up

Sorry to say completely useless, as a company if you are new on the market you have to come with products that are hi demand only a few are delivering, like access points with 2.5GB LAN and 2.5GB Poe switches, and maybe people will show some interest, with this ? I didn't even wanted to watch the rest of the video and have no interest at all on 1GB switches that we have a million vendors out there, this is just another copy cat of Unifi like Omada. Good luck Alta Labs. Thanks for the video.

"it would be nice if companies started coming out with switches that have full PoE ports". THEY USED TO MAN! THEY USED TO! they got greedy and used stupid excuses to F us over. who remembers UniFi Gen 1 PoE switches? eh? anyone? or tp-link PoE switches? anyone?

just wondering, is it possible to get a complete setup tutorial for alta lab's controller and dual 8 port poe switch for a home office setup...

In 2023 they still propose 1GbE when the new basic should be 2.5 or 5GbE ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Very disappointed.

Good video Cody, My switch is stuck in UPS customs LOL !!

It’s different, which I appreciate. Look forward to your next videos!

Looks like a promising product line. Still way too early to draw any conclusions. Seems like too limited functionality to even consider at this time.

Just a comparison: S8-POE $149 vs USW-Lite-8-POE $109 S16-POE $345 vs USW-16-POE $299 S24-POE $455 vs USW-24-POE $379

Is there an option within the switch settings to disable EEE? I saw it specifically listed and using that on the switch specs page you showed.

Once again no local controller no sale. Thanks for the video.

not being local I don't care if it was free.... have to pass so far on this one.

Interesting, we'll wait and see what else they come up with

No local controller is definitely a negative. Also, what's the price? Unless this is significantly cheaper, it really doesn't offer anything that everyone else has been offering for years. I'd like to see these new comers offer 2.5Gig ethernet PoE and 10Gig PoE ethernet switches cheap. At least that would be pushing the market forward. I just don't see where Alta Labs justifies its existence yet. They are not faster to market then Ubiquiti. They are not more cutting edge. They don't even have a supply chain set up yet to have issues with. Ubiquiti certainly has its share of problems, but they are an established player at this point. You can pretty much rest assured they'll be around for years to come. So unless Alta starts offering products that are not just equivalent to what Ubiquiti offers, they may find it tough to make a case for themselves.

Thanks for brininging this up... I'll still stick to my ubiquity setup... fell in love from the first UDR w bunch of functions that I don't even know how to use...😅 currently about to get UCK Gen 2+ for Protect Dedicated 1TB... 2x G5 Bullet & 1x G5 Dome and Ubiquity 8-Port Lite PoE switch to to power this all up...this is temporarly setup to use to Guard All Enterances so not even fly can come in without me knowing...later to use ViewPort to Stream All cameras to Smart TV for my old dad to watch over everything 24h cuz' he's bored...in pension & have a time... All on Top of that I have Ajax Alarm so curious & unwated neighbours stay out of the house. 😊

The Grandstream GWN7800P switches provide POE to all ports. The 16 port has a max POE of 240 Watts and the 24 port is 360 Watts.

No local controller is a non-starter. Won't even consider the product without that. It's a shame, because it looks like good stuff otherwise.

until they'll release a controller I won't even consider their products also, the switches should have single row ports

First :D

what happens if you're internet is out of service can you use lan only?

When they don’t have a clear feature time table for releases that’s a bit iffy for a tiny company 😮

So this is a knockoff of Unifi products?

Enjoy your content!

Thanks.

When are you leaving Ubiquiti for Alta?

cloud only = hard pass

I surely do hope that they keep the cloud controller, a must for running an msp IMHO.
