<p>Not sure why you would bother with CAT5 POE when you
could use more suitable cable and simply use RF for
local connection to the router.<br>

<p>This company, local to me has worked out the tethering
for UAV's. <br>

Also, there is this Google project Loon which uses long
endurance balloons equipped with a computer which
determines the best altitude to catch wind conditions
conducive to loitering at a spot in the sky. This seems
like a better long duration approach than a powered UAV. <br>

How much voltage and current does a drone require to
maintain a 'steady state' altitude of 300 ft ?<br>
<br>
I'm thinking of strapping a Linksys WRT54G router's
circuit board under a drone and feeding power up to
it via a 200' or 300' CAT5 cable. <br>
<br>
</span><span class=""> Could the drone draw its power
off of the unused wires in a Cat5 cable and provide
a stable/stationary router platform/node up about
300' in the air ?<br>
