Its the exterior devices that run on POE, so one can maximise the

Finally dug out my old Metrix Mark 1 kit and some POE research for you.

The kit = http://metrix.net/metrix/products/packages

Uses pebble but could modify Dyne to suit.

What is Power Over Ethernet?

A good book: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/wirelesscommnet2/

And a community using Metrix hardware

Hope this helps
