Solar Powered Systems for Outdoor Wi-Fi Access Points
Brand: Ventev
Product Overview
Ventev's Wi-Fi Solar Systems are complete, fully-integrated NEMA 3R enclosure systems designed for fast and easy on-site installation. These systems are pre-wired and pre-assembled to support outdoor access points and other network elements requiring 802.3af/at/bt PoE power. Built with proven, long-lasting lead acid batteries and corrosion-resistant materials, these rugged systems offer many years of autonomous service in harsh environments. System sizing is crucial for reliable solar power performance, and Ventev's solutions simplify this process, offering plug-and-play systems that work across most of the US. The current product line includes 30-watt, 60-watt, and 90-watt solutions tailored to the power consumption of industry-leading wireless devices.

Features
- Enables network designers to extend networks to locations where AC is not available.
- Engineered for simplicity using universal 802.3af/at/bt power.
- One system designed with ample capacity to power radios across most of the United States; no sizing required.
- Made of robust, long-lasting components to stand the test of time.
- Designed with one or two gigabit Ethernet PoE injector(s) for fast data transfer rates.
Deployment Zones
The map graphic illustrates deployment zones A-D across the United States, indicating different solar power availability based on latitude and geographic location. Zone A is primarily in the southern US, Zone B in the central US, Zone C in the southeastern US, and Zone D in the northern US. Zone E is not explicitly shown but implied to be outside these zones.
The Ventev PoE+ Solar System is designed to provide primary power for common industry PoE and PoE+ access points only. System sizing is for deployment in zones A-D for one PoE device. Contact Ventev for zone E deployment or if your solution requires additional active equipment.
