Moskaluk Pole Enclosure is Metal and has a rubber Seal. It
is big enough to put in a Via Board but it is extremely tight fit.
Currently I've installed a PC Engine Wrap Board. The Enclosure has a
backboard and the electronics is mounted to the backboard;
no drilling is required. The top of unit had POE and the cable comes
from the top of the unit. Ooops it should have come out of the
bottom of the unit. I've install a 12 dbi omni directional antenna
directly to the case. The case comes with pole clamps or this can
mounted onto a wall. It ideal for telephone or light pole mountings.
When the case is closed it can be locked via pad lock system and it
also has screws to keep it fastened. The case is roughly about
7 inches square.
Below you can see the energy cube that I've installed. 3 Solar
Panels are running the Wrap board as well as charging the energy cube
(Battery). What is missing is installation of the solar panels to
the pole and a all weather housing for the battery.
Currently the wrap board take about 30 hours to drain the
battery. The Solar panels take about 4 to 8 hours to recharge the
battery fully. Currently this unit is running total on solar
panel and the battery is used for reserve during night and cloudy days.
My famous Wireless Mesh Stand is a fence pole set in a concrete desk
footing. I use wires to mount to ground for support. The solar
panels will be mounted to the pole and balance accordingly. As part
of my experiment I have placed the solar panel flat to see if this is the
best position to collect the solar rays. As you can see from the
shadows I will place the panels where there is no shadows and optimizes
the sun.
Unfortunately this setup is not weather proof; however, I will temporarily
seal and protect the energy cube, the connection to the Wireless MeshAP
using Locustworld OS, seal the wire connection to the wrap board and lock
down the pole from the wind. The solar panels and their connection as well
as the enclosure is weather proof.
