I wanted to know if anyone has put a ZTE MF275R into an enclosure before and if so how do you deal with trying to power it on? It does have a battery that is meant for power outage but this unit was designed to be indoors.

I would use a PoE (Power Over Ethernet)

That would give the ZTE MF275R power and the ZTE MF275R would give you data.
With just one cable/hole in your enclosure.
Win...Win...

These two items, using this enclosure:

The poe injector in the house between your router/switch/pc and the cable to the enclsoure.
The 48v to 12v splitter in the enclosure


Make sure your ZTE MF275R uses 12V power input, I didn't look that up.

Sorry for the delay guys. I have this all setup in an Enclosure and did before posting the question via POE (same setup as Didneywhorl posted).

My questions is should the POE lose power the modem will not power up and I would have to open the enclosure to power on the modem, the MF275R has a battery but do not know how well that will work in the freezing cold in the winter. If the battery works then this should not be an issue as a small power outage would be fine.

The nature of the hotspot is that it requires manual power on I'm guessing? Hopefully theres an answer to that, but you may not be in luck there. Maybe go mad science on it and wire in a switch that can be remotely operated?
