I saw this oddity at The Cheeseburger Restaurant in Honolulu, Hawaii
I regret not getting closer so that I had a photo of the label that was legible.
The size of the antennas on this unit makes me think it’s not for Wi-Fi but something else. Perhaps for their hand-held order entry tablets or point of sale? On that point though, why not use Wi-Fi for those devices? So maybe it is Wi-Fi afterall.
Spotted this Cisco AP at LocoLanding Adventure Park in Penticton, British Columbia.
I thought it interesting that they went for the black face plate but not for a fully black body. Does Cisco do that? I know they sold a ton of indoor APs in all black to a large customer in western Canada. Saying that, I wonder if all black outdoor AP in a warn, sunny location is healthy for the AP’s internals.
I spotted this unit at a restaurant on a recent vacation (hello, Gananoque). We’ve got what looks to me like an indoor AP which is outside and unfortunately mounted vertically instead of horizontally as it should be.
I don’t recognize the logo on this AP. Any thoughts?
Even access points can get chilly. This one gets to stay outside the fridge while its antenna is extended inside.
Earlier this year I was in San Diego and took a walk down by the pier. There’s a spot where you can sit on the pier near the Midway Museum and someone (the city?) has installed a Merki access point and a camera.
What interests me most about this is the empty bracket that’s still mounted above the camera. Looks like maybe a Cisco 1552E used to be mounted on this pole?
Well this is a first: actually featuring my own handiwork on this blog.
A good friend of mine wanted to extend Internet connectivity from his house over to his workshop, about 60 meters away. Trenching cable was an option, but we opted for a wireless shot between the buildings.
The distance was short enough we could cover it easily They live on an acerage with no other WiFi nearby which meant lots of spectrum for us to use for the shot We were up for the challenge š Since he was already using Ubiquiti kit in the house, I wanted to keep things as homogenous as possible.
This Cisco 3702i was spotted peeking out from behind the curtain in a conference room at a hotel.
Peekaboo
Whatās odd to me is that the whole conference level was already blanketed in WiFi. Why the lone AP casually left on the floor? Also, does anyone else immediately wonder what they would get access to if they plugged their own equipment into a public network port like this?
I didnāt notice the label on the AP until zooming in on the photo (the original, multi-megapixel photo).
Itās really snowy in parts of British Columbia, Canada right now. The trees are covered in a brilliant blanket of white snow. And so are the Cisco industrial WiFi routers that dot this part of the province :-)
This particular router is one that I drive past a few times a year in different seasons. Right now itās -20C (-4F) and thereās snow everywhere.
(That big pole on the back side of the router is just a mounting pole, not an antenna)
