Solutions
Unlike Inalp’s generic Technologies, the Solutions of Inalp address specific applications like, for instance, networking home workers and branch offices to a simple to manage enterprise network or an application for monitoring and managing the infrastructure in buildings.
Services
Inalp offers the competences of its team to customers in general, e.g. in the form of consulting or custom SW/HW design. However, preferably, Inalp offers such services in conjunction with Inalp’s own Technologies or Solutions.

Our Values
Inalp is managed by an experienced team of experts, which take the following responsibilities:
Swiss excellence
Our commitment to bring passion in every job we do and take responsibility to deliver our best effort, individually and as a team.
People centric
We are thrilled to design our products for an easy plug and play use. You people shouldn’t waste an unnecessary minute with IT stuff.
Agility
We strive to have a learn-fast attitude that allows us to act swiftly in the fast-changing IT market and create results for the benefit of our customers.
Simplicity is
the ultimate sophistication
– Leonardo da Vinci
Competing successfully in high-tech markets can be compared to competing in sports: it requires dedication, cleverness associated with a clear plan, enthusiasm and … a lot of hard work!
We keep saying “It all looks brilliant, fine and beautiful, but it requires a lot of hard work and dedication.”
We did find a young person in Switzerland, which demonstrates this key aspect of our values: Kimmy Repond – the rising star of Switzerland in figure skating. When she skates, all looks so elegant, nice and easy – yet it looks like the simplest thing on earth. But behind, there is enthusiasms, dedication, hard work; you struggle a lot and have to take your lessons in order to finally present such an elegant high performance.
Kimmy perfectly represents our values – have a look here:
Partners
Inalp focusses on the development of Technology and Solutions accompanied be related Services and product Distribution.
However, several Technology components and Solutions are alternatively made available as Software as a Service (SaaS), which requires professional ‘world-class’ hosting and server operation (e.g. using Kubernetes / K8S). This is not the specialty of Inalp; therefore we partner with best-in-class companies for this purpose:
Patton
A leading high-quality provider of geo-redundant and secure hosting
Teltonika
A leading high-quality provider of geo-redundant and secure hosting
Aarenet
A leading high-quality provider of geo-redundant and secure hosting
