The Benefits of a Complete Alta Labs Ecosystem with Route10

October 3, 2024

Alta Labs has completed our network ecosystem with the introduction of the Route10, a groundbreaking 10 Gbps router designed for high-performance networking. But what makes Route10 an essential part of your network, and why should you integrate it with the entire Alta Labs ecosystem? Let’s dive into the key benefits.

The Route10 is built for those who demand speed and reliability. Featuring four autosensing Ethernet ports capable of supporting speeds up to 2.5 Gbps (10/100/1000/2500 Mbps), as well as two hardware-accelerated 10 Gbps SFP+ ports. Whether you're supporting thousands of client devices, streaming 4K content, gaming, or conducting video conferences - Route10 ensures that your network remains fast and responsive. Integrating the Route10 into your Alta Labs projects is easy - setup and management can be done from any of the Alta Labs management options (cloud-based management, local hardware controller, or the downloadable software for self-hosting). 

One of the standout features of the Route10 is its Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability. Ports 2 and 3 support the 802.3at PoE+ standard, allowing you to power devices such as Alta Labs access points directly through the router. This not only simplifies your setup by reducing the number of cables but also keeps your workspace organized and efficient. If your project only requires 2 access points, you’re able to configure the network simply with the Route10 and APs.

Route10 is more than just a high-speed router; it’s a comprehensive network management tool. With support for Static IP, DHCP, and PPPoE WAN, plus advanced features like VLAN and QoS tagging, you can tailor your network to meet specific demands. Whether you’re running a business or managing a smart home, Route10’s DNS repeater, firewall configuration, and NAT options (including port forwarding) provide enhanced control and security. Route10’s built in VPN solutions also allow for you to access the client devices connected to your network from anywhere in the world!

When you choose Route10, you’re not just investing in a router; you’re investing in a centric networking solution. Route10 integrates flawlessly with other Alta Labs products, allowing you to build a cohesive network that can scale as your needs grow. Whether you’re adding more Alta Labs Access Points for extended coverage, adding Alta Labs Network Switches to the project, or integrating smart devices for home/business automation - Route10 serves as the backbone of your network.

Using Route10 in conjunction with Alta Labs network switches and access points now gives you full visibility and control from your edge through your core and out to all of your connected client devices utilizing any Alta Control Management Platform. You can view bandwidth utilization metrics as a whole, or go super granular and view it by device and application. You can set security, VLAN and routing policy for the entire network from a single pane of glass, rather than having to create them in different and disparate systems.

With a Quad-Core Qualcomm Network Accelerator and the upcoming Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine, Route10 is designed to be future-proof. The DPI engine will allow you to restrict access to specific websites and applications for all wired and wireless clients, providing enhanced control over your network. This is especially useful for businesses that need to enforce internet usage policies, and control the content that goes into a home.

Setting up Route10 is a breeze, thanks to its Bluetooth setup feature. You can configure your network easily from your mobile device, making it accessible without a configured internet connection. Plus, the Alta Labs Control™ management interface provides a straightforward way to manage all your devices from a single platform.

Route10 is a revolutionary router that combines speed, power, and advanced management capabilities. By integrating it with the full Alta Labs ecosystem - you’ll unlock a world of possibilities for your network. Whether for home or business use, Route10 stands out as a smart investment in your connectivity future.
