If you need to go the 12vdc route, you could use a small DC-DC converter to bring the voltage back up. Gives you some breathing room on the line loss incase you have a long Ethernet run. Bit of an efficiently hit but I've done it in the past.
PYB20Q24S24DIN has been pretty reliable for me, but I'm sure there are better. http://www.cui.com/product/resource/pyb20-din.pdf Brian Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 18, 2015, at 6:04 PM, Craig House <[email protected]> wrote: > > Only the number of batteries that I would need to have but then I've never > done solar and battery powered stuff before so maybe I'm not thinking about > this correctly > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Aug 18, 2015, at 16:02, Chuck McCown <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Is there a reason you don't want to use 24 volts? >> >> -----Original Message----- From: Craig House >> Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2015 2:56 PM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: [AFMUG] Ubiquity radios on 12 V >> >> I have a customer who is wanting a relay pole installed on the top of the >> hill that he owns in order to bring line of sight service from one of our >> towers and bounce it down to his facilities in the Valley.
