Hi Andris, In my younger days, I spent a fair amount of my life in Sudan, your email below brings back some very fond memories.
The real life factors which affect such deployments are very different. I would very humbly suggest that you modify your requirements to have the following:- Form factor: No problem, but the ability to survive Dust and outdoor temp are more important I would suggest that you design your solution around 12v or 24v DC power.. Easy to get 12v or 24v using Car Batteries, and also very easy to use 12v/24v power transformer in conjunction with AC (Both of these power components should be easily available locally, if needed) Easy User interface:....yes, I would say, if you can keep it simple the better i.e. use a switch in default configuration vs a programmed l3 switch. Having said that, I would rather go with the passive poe injectors ( http://wifiqos.com/ ) and dumb switches etc rather than something more sophisticated. keeping simple and modular components would be a better than using all in one more sophisticated item. If you want to keep a very low foot print, you can use a Mikoritk 750UP, and RB260GSP, cascading them, and using 24v supplied power supplies, will give you be able to do sustain a number of devices. Balticnetworks make a nice 1u bracket which will let you mount 3 of these devices on a single 1u space. I would pre-assemble these on the 1u Rack mount, and they can be easily deployed on rack or desk mount.
