The iFlex ships with a 24V. 07A POE brick. That plugs into 120VAC, and
allows you to run 100m of cat5 where you can install the iFlex indoor
AP. Perhaps you don't want your indoor AP broadcasting from where it is
plugged in.
Then you can run an additional 100m to the roof where the iFlex will
pass through 24VDC to power up a client device, such as NanoStation or
Canopy SM. It might not be exactly what you are looking for, but it
gives you a WISP oriented indoor device with WISP features for a price
that should be competitive with Linksys, Netgear etc.
As for 'are they being used', yes, quite a bit. It is still a new
product, but internationally it's started to take off. There are
thousands in the market that are being used as an indoor AP to power an
outdoor CPE. Most WISPs are charging the customer for the indoor AP,
and adding a $2-5 fee per month to manage their indoor network as well.
Double Radius, Titan Wireless, ISP Supplies, Pasadena, Cayman Wireless
should all have them in stock.

Hmmm, anyone using them? Who stocks them?
What do you do, plug your own power brick into it? That would
kind of defete the purpose wouldn't it? That's not really much
different than a standard install.
thanks,

Marlon,
In response to your statement:
Some days I just wish the POE had a wifi router built into it
so we could include wifi like the telco does these days.
ARC makes one. It's the iFlex indoor AP. You could use any
brand of POE (including Moto) from 9-24VDC to power the device
and then passthrough power to a client device on the roof.

We use mainly Linksys units. They are a bit more expensive
but we don't deal with warranty issues etc.
I'll install them at hookup if the customer wants one.
We've been trying the ones from Readylink but so far the jury
is out on them. Sometimes they work nicely, other customers
have nothing but trouble with them. Half the cost of the
Linksys and better antennas.

Hey guys,
What are some of you providing for customer wireless
routers if you include them in the install as I do? I
currently have a batch of 10 Ubiquiti Air Routers and the
first two I pulled out are giving me some problems.
Could be a bad batch.
I am also looking at TP-Link as they are about $30 on
Amazon with external antennas and pretty good reviews.
TP-Link TL-WR841N
What are you guys using?
