External Email We were looking around at outdoor solutions to handle three attached PoE devices and came across this product. It seems like they put a lot of thought into the device and the features. The fiber splice kit is a nice option to terminate fiber inside the enclosure. They also have a “power over fiber” hybrid cable option, perhaps this product could be powered using their 48v remote power supply, it could be worth asking. We have not purchased or used the product so we don’t have anything to share other than we thought it was a nice small design that had all the bits we needed. https://www.berktek.us/eservice/US-en_US/navigate_370831/PowerGIG_OAC_Fully_Managed_and_Hardened_Gigabit_PoE_Switch.html https://marketing.berktek.us/acton/attachment/2338/f-1768bcfd-ad84-45f3-ac9c-0dbab9a15f83/1/-/-/-/-/BSP0404.B_PowerGIG-FMK_Installation_Guide.pdf?sid=TV2:Jev9BdPwU From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Community Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> on behalf of Ricardo Stella <ste...@rider.edu> Reply-To: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Community Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> Date: Tuesday, July 21, 2020 at 1:21 PM To: "WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU" <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] [External] Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Request for outdoor wifi access point mounting example photos One of our reqs when we added outdoor units, was to light up a couple of parking lots. Trenching at the time was cost prohibitive. We used AP-277 with external antennas as a mesh portal, and two AP-275 as mesh points, mounted in light poles. We use 5ghz for the mesh, and 2.4ghz for client access on both the portal and mesh units. But the poles were powered remotely on a timer so we used Solis Energy Continuous Power Bridges. These boxes have a battery that gets recharged at night when the lights are on, and then they seamlessly switch to battery power during the day without interruption. https://solisenergy.com/product/continuous-power-bridge/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__solisenergy.com_product_continuous-2Dpower-2Dbridge_&d=DwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=NEt1bAdOCtalVd4Ws0dvlC8LeF95Hl1p6yYgtTh8luM&m=28cwA_yxHnW0yEi3oqaIbUtNsyuvJkplWYSZ_HTUU0I&s=YSscb-LBNA5q7nUX3Uj9Efjrksfri9cbgi8Ks-I9IDs&e=> On Mon, Jul 20, 2020 at 9:27 PM Blake Brown <blake.br...@mhcc.edu<mailto:blake.br...@mhcc.edu>> wrote: How are you providing AC/DC power and are these setup in a mesh configuration or wired back into the network?

I agree with your observation regarding limited options. We’ve deployed the x75s using the nearest utility poles up to this point and painted them. We’re now challenged with providing service to our main quad with few utilities structures and buildings with specialized exterior surfaces. The “bee hives” just aren’t subtle.

Basically for this, my suggestion is to use NEMA enclosures for the AP. For Aruba, you could use AP-367 for example (not sure which are the 500 equivalent) which can be mounted horizontally and don't require antennas. Otherwise you would need an enclosure for the AP and another one for the external antennas. The enclosures can be painted to somewhat match the exterior color. Otherwise, omni units will need an arm that extends out, and the AP hanging below it. Aruvb's x75 units look like a bucket. x65 units are narrow but also hang below. You can always hide them like Disney does. Except in Galaxy's Edge..
