If it's the same part number, how can they have different stuff (disabled sync in firmware) inside?

Before even getting my shipment I had to wait a few days for my distributor to figure out what's going on with the force 110 model number making two part numbers to send to me. That's the distributors fault for the delay, but Cambium's fault for a) making two part numbers equal a third one and b) making some STUPID long string for part numbers. I ordered 3x force 110 ptp to put up a new link. The radios are the exact same part number as my pmp APs (I expected them to look the same, but model number seems fishy, so I called Cambium). I've talked with Robert on Cambium Support for 20 minutes. I got the whole speech about they don't do part numbers, presales does, what is the exact issue, etc. and I ended up teaching him that there is a "force 110 PTP" besides the "force 110". Jesus. There is not resolution for me at this point, just hanging out on hold. If this was not a mistake on my distributor's part just order the force 110 PTP instead of the 5 GHz connectorized radio (it'll save you $300). Props to Colin (sp?) over at Streakwave for explaining the situation. The PTP radios and APs are *THE EXACT SAME PART NUMBER*. The difference is the PTP has a sticker over the sticker on the box. You also can't specify CMM or GPS for sync (the GUI has it grayed out). Make sure you label the PTP radios yourself before you climb the tower!!! Why are part numbers being so extremely difficult to work with?! Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373
