Hello!
I purchased a Teltonika RUTX 12 router which I will initially use in the FAILOVER mode (cable and 1 sim 4g) so where I will have internet via cable this will be a priority but if it fails it will immediately switch to the internet mobile (4G LTE - Orange provider), I understood that the switch is made in less than 1 second, which I think is more than decent (I haven't tested it yet, I'll check exactly how it works). Where I won't have cable internet, I'll use 2 SIM.
Later, I will consider the option of bonding with Bondix (I don't know the prices for this service yet).
What I want is to build a mini kit, in a hard case (ABS), and must be light weight, mobile, autonomous if necessary, with two main characteristics:
1- PLUG AND PLAY for INSTALLATION OPTIMIZATION at events in any type of location.
I want everything installed, just open the box, point the antennas up, turn on the power, insert the WAN internet cable (if there is one in the location) and the LAN cable, and LIVE!.
2- FLEXIBILITY (where the 4G signal is the best).
I want this kit to be an UNINTERRUPTED INTERNET solution, whether the event takes place in a conference room where there is cable internet that reaches the work point, where the vMix station is, but also in case the 4G signal is very weak where the technical area is and must be taken near a window, on a terrace, balcony, an upper floor or outside in a place protected from the rain.
A challenge arises here, because in some situations (terrace, balcony, outside) there is no power (socket), or if there is and it is accidentally pulled from the socket (since it is not near me to see what happens) I want it to remain powered, to automatically switches to battery.
I found on YouTube something similar to what I want, but I haven't figured out how to best solve the power supply.
These (industrial) routers have an advantage, that they can be powered between 9-50v DC, which is a large and very convenient range.
I want to make a system with an adapter that powers both the router and a battery at the same time (it would be great if it could also charge) and if the power goes down, the power from the battery will remain.
I thought of using the v-mount type system (as in the attached pictures), with a well-known Sony BP-95w / Sony BP-150W battery.
But! The essential question is the following: if the BP-95w battery is connected mounted on the v-mount adapter from which the router is powered and the battery is powered by d-tap, if the power goes down, does the battery continue to power the router without interruption? without feeling the fall?
Honestly, about 10 years ago I used the system with BP-95, BP-150, BP-190 batteries for a long time, but I remember that I used the d-tap plug on the battery only to supply something additional to the camera, like the light bulb, I don't remember that the battery could also be powered/charged through that plug.
Has the d-tap changed to be in/out on newer models? (as it is in one of the pictures)
What do you think? Has anyone done something similar - DIY?
Does anyone know of a better power supply solution? Do you recommend another type?
