Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods related to wireless communication mesh network design, installation, and deployment. In one aspect, a wireless communication node may be located at a building to include one or more antenna mounts, one or more wireless communication radios mounted on the one or more antenna mounts, and a portable power supply coupled to each of the one or more wireless communication radios via a respective cable, where the portable power supply is configured to provide power to each of the one or more wireless communication radios. In another aspect, a wireless communication node located at a building may include a coaxial interface coupled to a power supply installed at the building via a pre-existing cable for a satellite dish, where the coaxial interface may receive power from the power supply via the pre-existing cable and supply the received power to one or more wireless communication radios.
