Oh yeah. Before I built the flashlight kit, I really considered getting
one of these Veracity VAD-PS things.

It provides 802.3af output, has an SLA battery inside, and has a 12v
accessory port. The trouble was, I figured I'd end up using the
accessory port for almost everything I'd want to power, and also the
battery supposedly isn't replaceable (I assume you can always replace
the battery with a hacksaw). The only good thing about it was it looked
a lot more pro compared to showing up with home made tools. It might
not look so pro after I glue a wifi AP on the side of it, so that isn't
that great either.

Adam,
The link for the tyconpower product didn�t come through. They make a
POE that takes 24v and outputs 48v?
Not seeing it on their website

I copied the drill flashlight method that has been posted here
before.� Except I stuffed the guts of a UBNT air gateway into the
light bulb housing on the flashlight.� That has 24V PoE out (UBNT
polarity) and wifi.� We used a cable that crosses the power pairs

the flashlight for the 320, http://tyconpower.com/products/POE.htm.�

Currently we have a small drill battery that fits spade plugs

Canopy type POE jack).�

The goal is to make a more universal POE adapter scenario, that
would power a Canopy 100/450 series SM, a UBNT SM, or a Cambium
320SM .�� The battery pack will also power a Mikrotik 951-2n

Anybody doing a 3-headed POE (or multi-personality) site-survey tool?
