Elevate your Outdoor WiFi
The AP6-Pro Outdoor is an omnidirectional WiFi 6 access point, providing coverage in all directions. The front design is similar to our elegant indoor access points but the back features a built-in pole mount.

A wall-mount adapter is also included for easy installation on an exterior wall. The AP6-Pro Outdoor is powered over Ethernet for simple, clean installation. The AP works with the Alta Management platform and the Alta Networks mobile app for easy management and configuration f rom anywhere in the world.

IP68 Rated for Optimal Weather Protection
The AP6-Pro Outdoor is IP68 rated, offering maximum protection against the environment. You can rest assured that your AP6-Pro Outdoor Access Points are able to withstand exposure to year-round weather conditions.

Designed to withstand harsh environments with an operating temperature of -40 to 70° C (-40 to 158° F).

WiFi 6 with WiFi 7 Benefits
Built on an innovative new dual-band, 6 stream, WiFi 6 networking platform from Qualcomm®, the AP6-Pro Outdoor incorporates 4096 QAM, one of the primary features of WiFi 7, providing a combined 6.3 Gbps of WiFi capacity.

Superior Range and Performance
Our proprietary antenna design provides superior range and performance. The AP6-Pro Outdoor features four 5 GHz antennas, a design that helps the AP6-Pro Outdoor outperform 2x2 APs by an over 30% throughput increase in many cases.

Seamless roaming is fully automatic with support for the 802.11 k, v, and r standards. The AP6-Pro Outdoor utilizes intelligent mesh formation for maximum throughput.

Omnidirectional + Mesh Connectivity
The AP6-Pro Outdoor features an omnidirectional antenna, allowing WiFi connectivity in all directions.

By incorporating Mesh technology, the AP6-Pro Outdoor can be used to extend your WiFi network to areas that may be difficult or unreachable with wired Ethernet.

Scalable Cloud-Based Management
Alta Labs provides an intuitive and easy-to-use cloud-based management interface for Alta Labs access points and switches. Designed for optimum scalability using a high-availability architecture for the ultimate in convenience and worldwide accessibility.

Built on a worldwide content delivery network to optimize response and latency, our global cloud infrastructure ensures geographically optimized connectivity through our redundant network.

Deploy and manage multiple sites quickly and easily. Add, delete, or rename sites instantly. Toggle between sites from a site selection drop-down. Each site contains its own data set.

Mobile App
Monitor and manage your networks from the convenience of your mobile device using the Alta Networks app. Sign up for an Alta Labs account using just your name, email, and password or sign in using your Google or Apple account.

Advanced Filtering - DPI Engine
By incorporating this feature directly in the access points, there is no need to purchase additional hardware to take advantage of this powerful tool.
The Alta Labs access points have a powerful built-in Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine.

• Restrict access to websites, applications, or application types. Filter settings are easily applied in the Alta Labs web management interface.
• Select applications or application types in the Block Applications drop-down menu.
• Block websites by typing in their domain names in the Block Domains field.

Device Specific Exceptions
For instances where specific devices should not have their content filtered, adhere to a schedule, or bypass a hotspot, admins can allow individual devices to bypass the filter, schedule, and/or hotspot settings.

AltaPass™ Multi-Password Technology
AltaPass is a unique Alta Labs feature that allows clients to connect to the same wireless network SSID using different passwords. Clients are provided with different network and internet access levels based on the password they use to connect to the network.

When a password is created, select from one of the predefined standard use cases. The password can then also be associated with a specific upload or download rate, a VLAN, or set to bypass the filtering rules, the hotspot functionality, or to ignore the schedule.

• Standard/Small - Typical network with less than 100 WiFi clients/devices
• Large - Optimized for hundreds to thousands of WiFi clients/devices
• IoT - Restricted to Internet and local incoming connections only
• Internet only - Restricted to Internet only
• Guest - Restricted to Internet and IoT devices

Hotspot Functionality
Built-in functionality to create your own local hotspot with a logo, title page, terms of service, and a final landing page.

You also have the option to redirect to an external captive portal.

On-The-Fly Changes and Scanning

• Configuration changes do not require a reboot of your network. Changes can be made without taking your network down.
• Scan your AP environment without disrupting your WiFi network.

Wireless Network Color Coding
Patent pending functionality that allows you to assign groups to wireless SSIDs and then assign membership to wireless access points.

SSID Broadcasting Flexibility
In addition to standard functionality such as hiding your SSID, you can continue broadcasting your SSID during a “scheduled off” event.

This provides network admins with the ability to grant users additional time on the network. A user can request access via a captive portal displayed when they try to access the network.

Status Snapshots
View upload and download throughput with a visual timeline on the dashboard for each AP displayed along with the number of connected devices, average processor load, channel load, and average connected devices.

Select a snapshot of the last minute, last hour, last two days, or last two months.

Customisable Dashboard
Customise your dashboard with the information you want to see: IP address, Load, number of devices, MAC address, firmware version, wireless network color assignment, and real-time status details. Details are sortable by column.

Device Cards
Easily view connection details and configure your access points or client connections by clicking the device icon.
