Win a FREE WS-6-MINI or WS-12-250-AC ENDED

I'm hoping to get mine installed tomorrow!

So, this is finally deployed (not in it's final configuration, yet). We were having to rush to get it WORKING before the rain deluge began.

This is a brand-new tower site that won't have permanent power for another 3 or so months. It's deployed with a solar setup, so obviously, power consumption is a key consideration. Currently powering a R5AC-Lite. It will, shortly, also be powering a couple of nanobeams for distribution to a few close-by locations. I'm planning to mount the WS-6-Mini up the tower at that point but it wasn't happening yesterday.
So, for now, this link is active and I can do final aiming of the AP side as soon as the monsoon ends.
Having the switch there gives me the ability to change up VLANS easily for testing when I have the laptop plugged in. It will be critical when I get a few other links and a router here. I'll also be putting in some IP cams to monitor the site. (anyone have suggestions? :) )

For now, I'm thrilled to see a MANAGED, VLAN-capable, DC-powered switch with the feature set I need (and pulling 7-8 watts total

with the R5AC idling).







Please excuse the site mess. My outdoor-rated power cable hasn't arrived and, like I said, we were trying to beat the monsoon that was arriving (again!) so we could get the AP-end of this 18.9 mile link dialed in. I'm very lucky that it linked up at all without the AP-end being fine-tuned. I was hoping to be able to get a sniff from the AP... not a valid link (not great signal... but the first dish was hung to landmark-aiming-by-eyeball). Cleanup will happen next weekend.
