I think are are in the 5th year and so far we haven’t had to replace the
batteries. But they seem to be standard 12v type. I’ll take a look tomorrow
since once those go, they go..

Ricardo, have you had to replace the batteries in those yet? Are they similar
in lifecycle, type, and cost of replacement to those in a typical small UPS?

A few years ago we had to "light up" a couple of parking lots. The light
poles there are on timers, so there is no power during the day. Trenching
was cost prohibitive as well.
We ended up setting up a mesh from a nearby building to send data to these
two APs. And for power, we used continuous
Not sure if these are WiFi friendly but my mom and her neighbors uses something
similar to disguise the utility boxes in their yards.

About 2 years ago I installed 3 of the Ventiv mini bollards. I was concerned
that a mower would take out one of them, but it hasn’t happened yet. The top
when not connected to the base seems very flimsy, but it has surprised me how
well they have held up. We did place them in areas where
I wasn’t planning on powering the AP’s from the poles. I assumed the lights on
the poles were locally switched though, so pre-switch should be possible.
It’s something to verify though. The problem with bollards is that combined
with the light poles, it makes the area very busy with

In my experience (YMMV) light poles have photo cells which would prevent proper
power from being fed to your APs during the day. In my case, it’s even worse,
there is one “loop” that feeds the power to all poles on campus, so all poles
light up at the same time, I cannot only power one
I'm wondering if any campus has had success in designing wireless into the
architectural specification?
Just as crime prevention through architectural design and landscape design
strives to reduce crime by providing subliminal or overt cues that affect
movement throughout a building isn't
Well, you saved me from having to look for bollards. Our Facilities people are
not in favor of us putting anything on the roofs, so now I'm back to looking at
ground level. Everyone wants wireless in the quad, but no one wants the actual
gear installed. Right now, I'm leaning to mounting

This isn't exactly what you were asking but most enclosure manufacturers (like
Ventev) make AP concealment / aesthetics products for both indoor and outdoor.
As an example, these bollards are popular with several of our university
clients. Note, I just skimmed the question/responses and
I need to re-visit the Building 1 situation. We have put wall-mounts as a
quick-fix. The problem is the initial install. We're trying to do as much of
this in-house as possible. The antenna would need to be between on the 3rd
floor (toward the top of that) to clear the treeline, so we're
