[smartBridges] Wireless repeater rig

Title: Message

I need to make a POE-powered sB repeater box to 'light up' an area. Since the speedTrap-2 isn't out yet (want a beta tester? <g>) I need to make one. What I envision is an aPPi running repeater mode in a NEMA box. Each SMA antenna port on the aPPi would have a pigtail to a bulkhead mounted N-type connector. To one connector I attach an 18dBi panel pointed back to the tower and to the other connector I attach a 6-9dBi omni cross-polarized to the big panel. Customers within a couple-hundred feet use an aBi thru walls to talk to the omni. Clients a little further away use aBOs with little panels pointed at the omni.   I am guessing someone has done this before... would you mind divulging the part number and supplier of the parts you used? Specifically... NEMA box to house the aPP and pigtails? SMA to bulkhead N-type pigtails?   I am guessing the aPPi will work on POE outside in a NEMA box? Do you have to take the aPPi board out of the factory box when you put it in the NEMA box to keep it from getting too hot? (double insulation).   Dave Home Wireless Company
