I spied someone showing off their modded Ubiquiti AirGateway on the Burning
Man wifi list, in particular cracked open to run directly off 12VDC from a
solar panel / battery system:

The burners seem to love it, what with all that radical self-reliance and
so forth.

In normal use, this little guy snaps in between the stock POE injector
provided with the UBNT radio and the cat5 run. I believe it has the same
400MHz / mips32 embedded SoC as other UBNT M-series gear, and 32MB of RAM.
My guess is that it has a 2dB on-board patch antenna.

Looks like Ubiquiti is sneaking this under the radar.  Vendors should start
selling it hopefully in a month or two, although burners say it can be
purchased right now by creating an account at reseller.streakwave.com.

The datasheet indicates it runs AirOS, which would suggest reflashing to
OpenWRT is possible.  I've yet to find any confirmation about that, though.

Has anyone else been playing with this product?
