we use such a thing called wyebot. it fits the description of that business model but afaict they all do. we went with to not be stuck with vendor proprietary systems eg aruba uxi.
it’s been horrible. feels like a hardware hobbyists product and not an actual solution. will stick with whatever the vendor offers next time.
a successful version of this product seems to me much more of a software product than a hardware product. the hardware is a couple of radios in a non offensive box. it’s nothing novel unless you go with SDR and even then i mean it’s been done. maybe poe power is a real challenge on that i’m not sure.
- gargablegar 3y agoThe company became Aruba UXI ;) it’s also specifically vendor agnostic still. The hardware is not super complex it is indeed a robust Linux computer in a box. We have a insanely low failure rate since we want them running subscriptions for years. Making it robust in this sense was part of the challenge. Our power backup feature using super capacitors to keep it up after you lose power and still testing is the most novel thing. We have some secret sauce in the WiFi driver side that gets us extra information.
- jiveturkey 3y agothanks for insight. will be looking at uxi!
