A sync injecter with 28 ports 24 sync injected ports + 4 POE ports for BH's that would keep things much cleaner at tower sites — Sent from Mailbox<https://www.dropbox.com/mailbox> On Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 9:23 PM, Mathew Howard via Af <af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com>> wrote: +1 to that. ________________________________ From: Af [af-boun...@afmug.com] on behalf of Josh Reynolds via Af [af@afmug.com] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2014 7:59 PM To: af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] PacketFlux Product Ideas You know what I really need more than anything else? I need a DC-terminal POE pass-through for 8-16 devices, where I can toggle between UBNT 24v passive poe, 48-56v, and maybe 56V 1A per-port. Maybe two models, an "8 device" and a "16 device" model (16/32 ports). Also will want a rack-mount version with 24 devices (48 ports), so make that maybe 3 models. This way I can use whatever switch I want, yet still have full control over each device. It should be able to send syslog messages/traps, and that's pretty much it.

With the release of all of our new gigabit injectors, it is time for me to decide which products will be next out the door at PacketFlux. We've got several products at various stages of completion, but almost all of them I expect to be very low volume projects - the type of products we complete just because they help fill out our product offering instead of expecting a lot of revenue from them. A couple of these have appeared on the website recently - I.E. a 2 Relay, 3 Switch module, and the voltmeter/shunt input modules. So, what I'd love to hear is some suggestions for products PacketFlux could build which would help you in your WISP. I'm particularly looking for products which if they existed would go at every one of your tower sites, or even better at every customer location. I know these product ideas exist out there, and I'd love to hear them. Feel free to throw ideas out which are outside of the narrow niche that you think of PacketFlux fitting into. One final note - there is always a query for an all-in-one tower device which includes some mixture of ac power supply, dc-dc conversion, battery charging/management, Ethernet switch, router, power injection, fiber conversion, etc.. I've heard those loud and clear and am aware of that desire. There's work being done in-house toward something like that, but there are many hurdles left to make it a reality. If there's a simplified version of this which would fit a specific, widespread, need I'd love to hear about it, but the idea of a device you put into your rack and it handles everything needed at a tower site is still quite a ways off for us. So, throw your best ideas out there... I'd love to take a couple and run with them. -forrest
