We are currently in the process of field testing our solar powered WiFi node. Please check back within the next few days for additional info.

Today, in one of our municipal implementations we pushed the limit of power-over-ethernet (POE). Using a single, twisted pair CMX Cat 5E cable and high quality RJ45 connectors we were able to run 15 volts of POE through two walls and over a distance of 284.5ft.

A very impressive number indeed, especially with only 15 volts being injected. At the end of our low resistance cabling we experienced a loss of only 1.85 volts.

In typical Anaptyx fashion, we tested the new Meraki Outdoor units before being comfortable with implementing them in any of our installations. After conducting an extensive battery of extreme weather tests on the Meraki Outdoor OD2 units we are extremely please with the results and comfortable with implementing the units in any climate, from extreme New England winters to the dry heat of Arizona.

Check out the results here.
