I have a big problem with making holes in a roof. I just dont!
Reason is, any drip or drop then becomes the internet guys fault no matter
if the roof is 40 years old and missing half the shingles already. Too many
people out to gotcha. And the ones who ask to see our liability insurance
before
When the house finally falls down, the chimney and mount will still be
standing!

Rick - MT CPE can be plug and play. Create a template, then copy and
paste. Keep in mind they're more costly.
Nanostations work well even at -85 and -95 noise floor in my
experience, that's why I like them.
Tranzeos had the water problem for me, not Nanostations.

I agree, I will never again install on a roof. That cost me money once, not
again. Can't even tell you how many homeowners have thanked us for not
installing on the roof. They hate their satellite dish being up there and are

The idea:

IF you need to power 48V equipment from a 12 or 24V battery system take a
look at these 9-36V input 48V output DCDC converters/POE inserters.
It is much more efficient than going the inverter to 120VAC and back to
48VDC route. They supply 30W so should power most 48V equipment.
What's so bad about brick? I would imagine there is lags made for it

I don't know what type of network you have deployed (are you serving
laptops directly?) but your method should work OK if
a) You do 2-way throughput testing to/from the mobile setup.
b) You use a CPE that's the same as your normal CPE.
c) You use an antenna that is equivalent to your normal

The biggest problem with your idea will be the fact you're on the ground -
not going to work too well for 2.4 and 5.x. 900 will be better, but not
ideal.
The better part of what you're doing is if you see a -75 somewhere, then the
houses adjacent are going to be greater to or equal!

We mount to the roof when we have to. Last resort but there are times when
it's the only option.
We put down silicone then run the mounting screws though that. Never had a
leak. People have been mounting things on roofs for a very very long time.
As for brick, we use GOOD plastic anchors

What do you mean stay above the soffit? Sounds kind of impossible to mount
below it when you're mounting on the roof.
The suggestion I had from the past is to use my favorite material (coax
seal) on the tip of the screw before you start drilling. This puts the
sealer in the threads (name?) and
I mean dont drill holes anywhere else on top of the roof - just the
area above the soffit. That way if it happens to leak it will drip
straight down through the soffit to the ground.
The suggestion was correct and is what I do - place coax seal on the
screw and between the mount roof. Never had
