Wireless Mesh

Oh those failures

It is now over 5 years since I have put together locustworld network and it is still running. I'm now seeing long term effects on the hardware I picked. The Via boards with FANs are showing spikes in there CPU temperature. Now it great that Via has these sensors and locustworld has used them with its statistic package. But for me either I go and fix each of these units or simply replaced them. Moving parts on your nodes is not a good thing.

  • Hi Don
    Just a bit of info for you.
    I have ran a LocustWorld mesh with 30 nodes for 5 years and we dont have the fans connected on the Via boards with no problems, the max temp we have seen is 46 degrees and the normal range is 20 -30 degrees

  • I run wrap, compaq, via with out fans, via with fans, thin clients etc. What I was reporting was not locustworld failure or via failure but using moving parts are now showing wear and tear.
