- I need to help a scientist who's installing a modem in a survey
- instrument that's going to live outdoors. The modem will be inside
- a (hopefully) water-tight box, but with no climate control. The box
- will be outside, with no climate control, in a place with pretty wide
- temperature extremes (i.e. freezing at night some times of year,
- broiling in the day other times of year).
-
- Does anyone know of a modem manufacturer who makes modems designed
- to operate in such harsh environments? Anyone else have experience
- in setting up this kind of remote outpost setup and have suggestions?
