Maybe that’s why the application is always slow? I appreciate all companies who welcome constructive feedback!Īveraging 96ms of latency. All written content provided here is my personal opinion, and has not been manipulated in any way by Ventev. Ventev Infrastructure supplied me with a VenVolt for testing and provided me the ability to give feedback.
There was an excellent session at WLPC, where Ventev employees Dennis Burrell and Mike Parry, along with Sam Clements discussed the development process for the VenVolt.
Geek tools upgrade#
While I’m excited to see what may come in MK2, this is an excellent upgrade and a definite requirement for anyone who spends time doing APoS surveys. To me, this is a suggestion that updates will come in the future, rather than the “one-and-done” approach of the Terrawave Battery.
An LCD screen that shows charge status, voltage, and gives you some guess of the available runtime.A single switch! No more guessing which switch combination was needed for charging.There are lots of “little” updates that should be mentioned as well: That power port wouldn’t be nearly as exciting for me without the final major upgrade, ethernet passthrough.That port can be used to trickle charge a laptop, or it can power my favorite tool, an Odroid, which I always use when surveying. If 802.3at power wasn’t enough, Ventev includes a three amp, 15 watt, USB power port.Better power delivery allows the VenVolt to efficiently deliver 802.3at power a requirement for 802.11ac access points.
Additionally, LiFePO4 battery chemistry is known for higher cycle life and better stability, which should relieve any concerns of a Samsung Note 7 style battery fires. It also ensures plenty of power delivery when needed and long-term stability of that power. That’s the weight savings that makes this thing easy to take on the road. The battery is now a lithium iron phosphate.The VenVolt has a bunch of new features which make this an essential addition to any wireless engineer’s toolkit. Now, Ventev has a new battery, the VenVolt. However, I often found that if you ran both AP radios, it would regularly give you less usually running right around 5 hours with a charge during a meal break.ĭid I mention it was heavy? Travel through airports and the TSA was a lot of fun too! Most days it did deliver 6 hours when powering an AP with a single radio enabled. It was a heavy lead-acid battery in a metal case, which promised six hours of use before needing a recharge. Please send enhancement requests, and suggestions to Real complaints send to /dev/null.Any wireless engineer who has spent time completing AP-on-a-stick (APoS) surveys has probably used the Terrawave MIMO 802.3af POE battery.
We don't promise to use your suggestions, but we will look at them. And if you can think of ways to improve it, tell us. So we thought we'd make it available to any engineer (or even clueful non-engineer) who might want to use it. And we decided to assign a couple of people to keeping it current, so that when something moved/died, we updated it. So we decided to build a website, capable of being used by any browser, with minimal color and minimal resolution, for internal use, that had all those resources. And there were all sorts of cool tools that seemed to be in different places that kept moving and disappearing as people moved around the net, from company to company. It seemed to us that we were always looking for a way to have all the external resources we use often, at our fingertips.
