The first part of the research was to see what amount of energy is consumed by the node in a normal use. For the measurements we set the high power (600mW) wifi cards which take the maximum consumption.

The average current is 0.24 A which comes to be 2.88 W powered with a 12 V source, and which leads at least to 2.88 W x 24h = 69.2 W (in a day)

With a 20 W solar panel we get to power the battery with an average of 100 W (each day) depending of the day (from 120 W (day) in sunny days to 60 W (day) in cloudy ones).

The battery used is also important due to the fact that in cloudy days it has to support at least 10 W extra power during the hours there is not enough light from then sun to get the necessary 69 W. For our tests we used a cheap 65 Ah battery which was more than enough to get over this days and to get our node always running.

CIS/CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium [di]Selenide)- perform better in overcast & hazy conditions than classic Si based poly & mono crystalline types. Cheaper amorphous Si offerings,which are usually glass based & EASILY broken,are ~5% efficient in bright sun, meaning such PVs could be inconveniently larger than more rugged Si/CIS types showing (~10%+) for the same power output

WHAT IS LICENSED 4.9 GHz?

How to File for a 4.9 GHz License

Eligibility for a 4.9 GHz license is limited to public safety entities and communications

on the band must be limited to the protection of life, health or property. Cities, towns,

counties, states, municipal utilities are all eligible to hold 4.9 GHz licenses.

Each 4.9 GHz license is granted for the entire 50 MHz available in the band and all

primary licensees share the band equally – there are no exclusive assignments. Licenses

in the 4.9 GHz band are granted to cover the licensee’s legal jurisdiction – e.g. citywide,

countywide, and statewide. Each transmitter site need not be licensed unless it affects an

Environmentally Protected Area, is within a Quiet Zone or would require international

coordination. Then the site must be licensed separately.

If the applicant is licensing a permanent fixed point-to-point system (which operations

are secondary to other operations in the band), then each permanent fixed site must be

listed individually on the license application giving complete information about the site.

License applications for operations at 4.9 GHz are filed using the FCC’s Universal

Licensing System (ULS). At any time during the electronic filing process, if you do

something wrong, or fail to complete a required field, an error message will appear

explaining what was completed incorrectly or what information is missing. The system

will not let you advance to a new screen until the current screen is completed

successfully.
