Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Portable Power for Mesh APs
I’ve been doing a lot of APoaS surveys with the Revolt G2. http://www.portableuniversalpower.com/revolt-g2/ I have another engineer using the RavPower: https://www.ravpower.com/ravpower-23000mah-portable-charger-external-battery-charger.html We use these with a 12V Poe+ injector from Tycon. If your AP takes 12V directly, it may not be needed. With the Revolt G2 I’m good for a full day with a 802.3at powered AP. Higher powered APs may give you less.
