One of the biggest challenges WISPs and anyone deploying wireless gear is power and distribution. \u00a0I have put together a checklist for purchasing items to make a standard box MTIN would deploy. This is not designed to be a how-to, but rather a “What to buy” guide.<\/p>\n

Throughout this documents I make notes based upon experience. As with anything, these are not hard rules. They are meant to be guidelines to follow. Please adapt to your uses. For example, if you don\u2019t have any non-cambium radios you don\u2019t need the POE injectors found on page 5.<\/p>\n
