Re: Dumb Customer Trouble Calls Revisited
said by ssprenge  :Here's a dumb question, from me. I am assuming that once I install a cpe, such as a tranzeo outside on the roof or something, all I have to do is plug the cat 5 cable from the cpe radio into the ethernet jack in the computer. And that's it. How does the POE work in that scenario? Does the computer provide the power to the cpe radio? Unless the computer has a POE NIC, you need a power injector and a 48V wall cube. |

Chaska, MN | What are the chances of that, a customer's computer having a POE NIC installed? And how can you tell? |

I think Tranzeo uses an 18 volt wall wart. |

I think Tranzeo uses an 18 volt wall wart. There are all kinds of proprietary noncompliant implementations. If you have one of those attach a big noncompliant warning label. Otherwise someone will connect 48V and wonder what happened.
There are simple single chip compliant designs:

Napa, CA | its a good idea. Now a simple attenna that could plus directly via USB to a clients PC would be great because its simple and easy to deploy.
Link the HGA solutions where a simple CPE is under a 100 bucks. |
