Installing outdoor AP in extreme weather (Alaska)

[tary_lin]

Hello Ruckus folks!

i just got a job to install outdoor APs in Alaska. I am just wondering which model would be the best bet to stand up in such extreme cold weather. And any working experience in extreme weather is very much appreciate!

Thank you

I prefer the 7782 over the 7762.  It is more robust and up to date.  If you are using the heater and in extreme conditions, I recommend connecting the AC.  The PoE injector just adds another source of failure.  Most PoE injectors are not manufactured for extreme conditions as you are describing.  We have several 7782's deployed connecting directly to the AC on poles and they have been reliable.
