| Monthly Service Fee | $25.00 USD | $25.00 USD |
| Install | One cable does power + data with PoE; clean, predictable deployments. | Power-only installs; avoid trenching/pulling data lines—great for retrofits and pilots. |
| Placement Flexibility | Tied to where you can run conduit/cable. | Mount where it’s most usable; just needs power and RF coverage. |
| Outage resilience | Still works locally on the LAN if your design is edge-first; not dependent on site Wi-Fi quality. | Still works locally if edge-first; can also be temporarily connected to a phone hotspot for remote support. |
| Reliability / latency | Highest stability and deterministic latency; immune to RF interference. | Good when surveyed/tuned; external antennas and retries help in noisy or long-range installs. |
| Power Options | PoE simplifies power backup (central UPS) and reduces wall-warts. | Needs local PSU or PoE-splitter; easy to pair with a small local UPS inside the enclosure. |
| Security | Simple: VLAN isolation, MAC ACLs; not affected by Wi-Fi key rotations. | Flexible: use dedicated SSID/VLAN or WPA2-Enterprise; can isolate devices without touching cabling. |
| Best Fit | New builds, long-term/permanent installs, highest uptime SLAs. | Retrofits, temporary sites, hard-to-cable gates, pilots, or when aesthetics/cable paths are tricky. |
| Unique Upsides | EMI-resistant, lightning protection easier to standardize, no RF tuning. | Fast deployments, easy relocations, path diversity (can add Ethernet or cellular later). |
