The Off-Grid Wi-Fi Engineer: Architecture & Hardware of an Autonomous Mobile Wireless Lab | PRG 26

Forget "van life" fluff—this is pure infrastructure engineering. How do you run live site validations, packet captures, and server-grade stress tests completely off the grid? This session tears down the architecture of a 100% autonomous rolling wireless lab built into a European transit vehicle. We will audit the strict math of DC power budgets, LiFePO4 battery banks, and solar replenishment cycles needed to sustain enterprise APs. Learn how to eliminate inverter-induced RF noise, manage thermal loads in tiny utility bays, and hack Starlink/5G hardware to run on native DC power. Finally, we map multi-WAN link aggregation telemetry across Europe. Walk away with the exact hardware schematics to build your own mobile edge.
