There are some licensed ones out there which approach that. But generally they're not powered via PoE.
The highest I can point to quickly is in the <80W category for single radio configurations. I swear I've seen one at 110W, but most of the licensed units I'm looking at quickly are around 80W. -forrest On Sun, Oct 5, 2014 at 5:55 PM, Gino Villarini via Af <[email protected]> wrote: > What radio needs 150w? > > > > Gino A.
