Alta Labs Brings Cloud-Managed Networking To Installers Through A Free UK Partner Event
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A free day out that could save you hours on every network you deploy. We break down Alta Labs’ UK Networking Roadshow and the first partner event hosted by trade distributor Aldous Systems in Crewe on 22 July, built for professional installers, system integrators, managed service providers and electrical contractors who want a clearer, faster way to deliver reliable connectivity.
We walk through what you can expect on the day: live product demos, technical presentations, and proper time to ask questions about real-world deployment. Alta Labs’ VP Business Development, Dallin Kaufman, shares an overview of the company’s growing enterprise networking portfolio, including wireless access points, managed switches and a cloud-based management platform designed to simplify commissioning and day-to-day administration. If you manage everything from a single smart home to larger commercial and multi-site environments, the ability to get hands-on and talk through scenarios with both the Alta Labs and Aldous Systems teams is the real draw.
We also dig into the bigger takeaway for the custom installation industry: cloud network management is no longer a nice-to-have. Remote configuration, monitoring and maintenance can reduce site visits, improve response times, and make ongoing support contracts more workable and more profitable. With Alta Labs entering the networking market in 2022 but bringing decades of enterprise experience through its engineering team, this roadshow is a timely chance to evaluate whether the ecosystem fits your standards for performance and simplicity. Attendance is free, lunch and refreshments are provided, places are limited, and more dates follow in London on 30 July and Scotland on 26 August.
