The main dude you'll wanna deal with there is Rick Lindahl 
([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

In fact, I just spoke with him last week.  He is a very friendly and 
approachable guy. He's a good guy to get to know regarding wireless 
infrastructure and is very open with sharing what he knows.

I buy from them. They seem to be quick and reliable. Just make sure you
specify your shipping/timing needs exactly.

I want a streamlined DC Power System, at least 4 deep cycle batteries (that
 I can run to Wal-Mart and replace in a pinch), four or five 24 and 48 volt
 outputs, and the ability to monitor voltage across chargers, batteries and
 outputs so that I get an alert when some part of the system shuts off. 
 This
 should power multiple Redlines, Canopy APs, and DC Imagestream router for 
 at
 least two days.

 Does anyone have something for this? I have been using my own version of
 Lewis Bergmans Job Box, but I want more, better.

Re: [WISPA] Streamlined DC Powered System

2008-07-08 Thread Steve
Your best bet with batteries is to get something of better quality than 
you would find in walmart, (Rolls-Surrette is my preference) But if you 
rarely have power outages, the best deep cycle marine battery would do.  
The battery life is going to largely depend on the environmental and 
charging conditions.  Insulate it from extreme heat and cold, and use a 
quality charger like iota. For monitoring I would suggest the BND 
http://www.remotemonitoringsystems.ca/  which will give you a number of 
inputs, outputs, and SNMP query.  I have built a small circuit based on 
the allegro acs750 
http://www.allegromicro.com/en/Products/Part_Numbers/0750/index.asp to 
report current draw where it is important to monitor in remote sites. 
If you are running 48v and 24v from the same battery bank you are liable 
to create a load imbalance that will decrease the life of the batteries.
I prefer to run everything from DC, keeping the load down and the signal 
clean.
I haven't ever found a solution in a box that suits my satisfaction for 
peace of mind, quality and features.

Thanks Steve,

We typically use SLA AGM Interstate batteries for our sites. I think someone
