We want to install 15 WAP LTE Kit equipment directly outside. We read that these equipment is wheatherproof, but we are worried with the SUN.
These installation will be in a sites where in summer the temperature in shadows can reach 42ºC.
Someone have installations of these equipment where the sun goes directly to the equiments and the temperature in summer is near 42ºC in shadows.
Thanks a lot,
in summer the temperature in shadows can reach 42ºC
.
guess you can have such extremes nearly worldwide now (exept really circumpolar) …
WAP LTE is specified (Tested ambient temperature -40°C to 60°C) … since you have to expose the device with it’s internal antennas … 
.
advice ? start with ‘one’ instead 15 … and review after a year of duty
… or change to something, where you can use external antennas and keep the device itself at 42°C … in the shadow (if this is even possible)
… and more dangerous !
in dry areas temperatures rise and fall with dust and dawn extremely.
brings … condensed water into the equation !!
NO FUN … had that myself when I found one of our antenna-cables with N-connector drowned … first I thought it wasn’t well enough insulated.
But wise-guys explained to me: easy to insulate against rain … but not against moisture containing air 
.
but there are more tower-experienced guys in the forum …
