My biggest site (something like 9 radios now) is drawing under 20 watts these days. Closer to 15 if my memory serves.
To get that number I used one of the new kill-a-watt units that has an ethernet port on it. A bit spendy but very cool. It allows me to remotely (through a company web site, not my own) monitor what's going on at a tower. It will also do power cycling! Other than the fact that it has to be sent to the factory to get firmware updates (how's that for old fashioned?) I love the unit. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Rohrbacher" <br...@reliableinter.net> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Sunday, April 19, 2009 12:55 PM Subject: [WISPA] electricity usage calculator >I have a new tower site and the owner ask how much electric I will use. > How can I calculate that?
