Hello Kevin,
Starting to sound like this project is taking shape! Keep me posted
and can we get an updated bullet point list of the feature set you are
thinking?
Maybe the output voltage should be just a simple pass-through from
whatever redundant power supplies the end user selects for their PoE
equipment? This may help "future proof" the PoE Controller from
possible vendor changes like UBNT is considering. (e.g. 24VDC to 48VDC)
Best,
Brad

It'd have a web interface with SNMP support. Yeah, 12 port.

Yes, better. At this time, we only use AC to power devices.
Also I didn't see a web interface or cli on your list of features...
Also also, number of ports should = 12
At $250, depending on features when it actually hit the street, we
would take about 20.

I guess the biggest question in my mind is whether most WISPs
would need a non-standard 24v or 48v out. At the last Ubiquiti
conference they mentioned that their newest line of AirBeam APs
will be running 48v. Obviously their current line is 24v, as is
Trango and Tranzeo. Moto needs the GPS sync signal, so this
wouldn't work for that.
Also, would most people use DC or A/C to power the device? If
DC, 24 or 48v?
I talked it over with our electrical engineer, and he says the
$450 number is what it would cost in the three-four quantity we
had been discussing. In a batch of 100, the price would be closer
to $250. Is that more appealing?
Thanks!
Kevin

Hello Kevin,
I'd be interested depending on how many ports you think this
device would have. It seems 12 ports would be a good
compromise. If a HUB site requires more than 12 ports then
that site should easily justify another $450 in equipment, IMO.
Would surge suppression be included similar to whatever basic
surge suppression is found in today's PoE's?
24VDC output would probably be our preference too. Are you
saying the DC input would be adjustable or are you looking for
a consensus?
1U shallow depth rack mount is pretty much a requirement for us.
Keep us posted...
Best,
Brad

So... we're most of the way through a mid-span design similar
to what people are outlining here. Right now it's only
non-standard POE, though. No 802.3. Again, we were only going
to build three, for our own use. If we sold something that was:
Remote on/off per port
Auto-ping reboot per port
Dual-power supply, with notification on fail
DC powered, either 12, 24, or 48v
The one we are working on is 24v output only
1u rackmount or small form factor wall mountable
SNMP for reboot, voltage monitoring, input monitoring
We figured if it's a DC device, we can plug it into 110v
easily with a transformer.
If it was $450, would anyone buy them? Actually, what I really
need to know is, would we be able to get rid of 90 of them?
We'd have to make a batch of 100, and we could use 10. We'd
get them back from the PCB manufacturer mid-May.

I may be off here from the majority, but I don't want a
switch. I want to be able to put these onto router ports
as well as switch ports.
I just want a rackmount multiport passive PoE controller,
manageable per port with autoping and redundant power
supplies. Is that so much to ask for??? ;)

Once they add remote management, redundant power supplies
and a "Auto-Ping" feature they'll have a winner.

Just put in a 12 port 24V version of this for a UniFi
WLAN. Worked flawlessly.
Powered the UBNT PB5 on one of the ports too.

Anyone have a good vendor for a rackmount poe switch for

double-sided tape ;) Thanks! Jason
