FAQ

Is HiveRadar WSSK compatible with any vendors wifi AP ?

Yes it can work with 98% of the wifi units in the market. We have tested with Aerohive, Meraki, Ruckus. AP's that can be powered by 12VDC power have the longest runtime. If the AP can only be powered by PoE+ (802.3AF/AT) then make sure you select the HiveRadar WSSK Kit that supports both DC and PoE+.

Can any wifi AP be mounted ?

HiveRadar Kit by default includes mounting plate with holes pre-drilled for Aerohive wifi A's. Please contact us for custom mounting options. We will eventually offer mounting plates for Meraki, Ruckus among other vendors.

Why is the run time different with DC and PoE ?

DC provides better power efficiency and our test have shown runtimes of upto 21hrs. PoE+ on the other hand is convenient but not very power efficient. PoE+ run times vary depending on the power draw. Forcing the Aerohive AP230 to 802.3at draw resulted in runtimes of 8+ hrs.

What makes HiveRadar Kit Airline Carry-on friendly ?

The case dimensions and weight meet the maximum dimensions and weight specified by the Airlines. The Included HiveRadar LiFePo4 battery is under 100wh which is the maximum allowable by TSA, FAA, IATA.

What is the 3G/4G version of HiveRadar WSSK ?

This version of HiveRadar WSSK has a 3G/4G ready router inside the kit. All you need is a 3G/4G USB stick modem with an appropriate data plan from your local Telco and connect the modem to the USB port on the case. Ideal for AP's that are cloud managed and where Internet connectivity on the job site is required.

What is the difference between 3G/4G version of HiveRadar WSSK and HiveRadar RDK ?

HiveRadar WSSK allows positioning of the wifi AP in either ceiling mount or wall mount configuration to mimic the final permanent installation positions. The HiveRadar RDK does not offer this capability. The Wifi AP is mounted on top of the pole making it a snap to setup for just about anyone.

How does HiveRadar WSSK compare to other site survey kits on the market ?

First and foremost is aspect of portability and number of people required to carry the gear. Solutions from other vendors are heavy and include multiple boxes and cases. One person would have to make multiple trips (not ideal) or the need for minimum two people at each survey site which is not very cost effective.

Second point is keeping your equipment safe and secure. All existing vendor solution have carry cases which have to be left behind or stowed somewhere on site. Your expensive gear left behind in the carry case can be stolen, hidden or damaged. It has happened to many of us.
