The KN 50 just a board, although it has POE you don't have to use it,
you can put a high power card in it so its OK with longer cable runs.
Just my 2 cents..

Subject: [Karlnet] RE: Reduction of Karlnet features w/out notification.
For us, no integrated solution like the KN-50 is useful. With mostly
long range shots, we use DB-24 antenna's almost exclusively. We also
prefer to have our radio electronics where they can be serviced without
climbing on to the roof or having to tilt over the antenna mast. Winter
weather here can prevent rooftop service for days at a time. Due to the
heavy tree infestation of our area, we often have 10-20 foot masts.
Also, having had many bad experiences with PoE, we have just about
abandoned any use of it. Every time we had a lightning storm or a windy
but dry winter day we had to go out and reconfigure or replace our PoE
clients.
What we really need is a reliable supply of the Ubicomm's Karlnet
satellites or the upcoming Karlnet satellite flash for the Linksys
WET11. As we are currently converting from standard 802.11b AP's to
Karlnet, the flash for the Linksys's would allow us to preserve much of
our current hardware investment.
And, one last comment: The loss of the SC-4700 will make signal testing
harder for many of us. Without it, it will be difficult to troubleshoot
/validate antenna and cable. Keep this product available, please!!
