[Mesh] 5 ghz rooftop node in west oakland

[Marc]

Pete and myself Installed a nanostation m5 on a 20 foot aluminum flagpole in west oakland. The node is about 14 feet above the roof of a two-story building. The total cost of this install ran to about $145 including all materials.

Bill of Materials:

* One nanostation m5 loco
* One 4 foot wood beam of 3.5" by 3.5" 
* Three 5" by 1/4" bolts
* Three 5/8" washers for bolts (optional)
* Three 1/2" washers for bolts (optional)
* Two 5" hose clamps
* 30+ feet of outdoor shielded ethernet cable
* Two shielded/groundable ethernet plugs
* A bunch of zip ties

The optional washers make it easier to tighten and untighten the bolts (otherwise they dig into the wood).

Material sources: 

* Nanostation from Amazon
* Flag pole from habor freight
* Everything else from home depot
