Wifi For ARRL Field Day: LARG/K4LRG 2008
For LARG's Field Day 2018 I'll be setting up a wifi based network. It will be used for N1MM+ logging, restricted internet access, and remote radio control (ie Flex6500). To do that I'm using a set of up to 10 of Ubiquiti's UAP-AC-MESHs and six NanoStation Loco M5s. The UAP-AC-MESHs will handle most of the traffic while the NanoStations will provide any long distance links. Although given the site size I don't think anything but a UAP-AC-MESH per station will be needed.
Ubiquiti POE
Found out something interesting today. My NanoStation Loco M5 (it's am XW version) will run on a little over 5v via POE. Dropping it just a hair below 5v would allow it to start but it couldn't run the wifi module. I suspect 5v may not be stable in the long run. That's a test for another day.
My UAP-AC-MESH, which takes 24v/48v needed a full 24v to run. Even 16v wasn't enough. I didn't try anything in the 16v to 23v range.
