OMF » Low Cost Testbed

The development of a low cost wireless testbed using Power over Ethernet to power the nodes.¶

The low cost testbed is based on these components:

• An ALIX embedded board, e.g. ALIX 2c2 (from pcengines.ch) using an AMD Geode CPU
• A PoE converter such as Silver Telecom PA-1212 to adapt the standard 48-V PoE voltage to the 12V requirement of the ALIX board
• A low cost managed PoE switch, such as Linksys SRW208MP
