The gateway is a small form-factor computer with a rechargeable battery, e.g., a netbook or laptop. The AP is a SBC that the preferred kernel, e.g., NetBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, etc., supports. The AP draws power from the gateway's battery via USB.
Regarding LTE modems, I do not use a data plan on "locked-down" mobile devices for personal use. Somehow I have been able to survive on WiFi alone.
- sneak 7y agoSo you carry around a laptop powered on all day when you are out? What about battery life? I’m looking at something like a raspberry pi zero, using the built in wifi to serve as an AP, powered from a large-ish USB battery pack, something that could run 18h+, with a USB LTE modem. Ideally I could get it small enough to strap to an ankle or something so I don’t need to bring a bag.
