Hi all - thanks for the responses. Spoke to streakwave this morning and they have no EdgeSwitches in stock, and none in the pipeline from the factory.
Yes - cost is definitely a factor, especially given that in this case equipment deployed within Ebola treatment centers may end up having to be destroyed or soaked in chlorinated water for 1 minute for health and safety reasons. I've heard some mixed opinions about ToughSwitches, otherwise I'd be going straight for the 16 port toughswitches. Given the concerns about power load I've seen on this list, and that the cost of the 16 port toughswitch is basically the same as the 24 port 250W edge switch...I was originally thinking to go with EdgeSwitch, though looks like supply chain may kill that. Would love to look at Netonix, but those seem very hard to get in quantity as well. My requirements are basically: - suitable for rackmount or hasty tabletop deployment - AC power ok, but must be a path for possible -48VDC deployment (was thinking to invert via rackmount inverter) - easy user interface - easy sharing / loading of premade config files - sufficient wattage for a minimum of 5x AirMax devices, but capacity for more is nice to have - reasonable cost I often do custom built / DIN rail / NEMA enclosures - but here because of the logistical difficulties and the varied skill levels of technicians I really need to minimize the number of components to ship and assemble. Hoping to find a fully COTS solution. Would be curious to hear opinions on what people feel are more reliable and easy to configure /use for low level technicians: - Digital loggers - ToughSwitches ᐧ
