Im just the opposite.
All of our Sync/control are CMM4/CTM2 and now CMM5. I cant argue price
point but I cant argue total reliability either. Since our total cambium
deployment of cmm4
the sync just works ,the surge protection just works and the poe just
works. This year we did not lose a single device on any of the 20 towers
we have in operation.
Since the surface of PMP450i radios I have been waiting way too long for
the CMM5. We have 2 to deploy this week.
I am really liking the gui on the cmm5 and it seems there are a ton of
oid's for stuff as well so nice job on the box.
There are no moving parts IE fans but heatsinks YESS..
Oh and yes GigE compatible for sure so definitely thumbs up!

cmms are alot of $$$, we have one cmm4 still sitting new on a shelf
because once we got into packetflux (after going the cyclone route) we
never looked back. There is just too much variance in what this
industry does to be locked into a 600 dollar power supply and their
switch, and I assume it still needs coax to a GPS antenna, too
cumbersome, too expensive and little to no versatility. not to
mention, one surge and youre out thousands, where with packetflux
youre only out affected modules. Plus forrest is a genius and will
deal directly with you if there is an issue, that doesnt hurt. snmp
monitoring is..odd though

From what I've read so far, the Aux port on the 450m is functional
as a timing port, but not as a second ethernet yet. So you should
be able to do a UGPS. I believe the SyncBox Junior Aux Port
version should work as well, which would be my preference.
As far as powering them.. nothin wrong with a regular ol
GIGE-POE-APC from Chuck and a 5ch PDU from Forrest to feed/remote
power cycle them. Or hell, even just a GigE PowerInjector+Sync and
turn the sync off (or don't connect a sync pipe) if you find that
they don't want to receive sync over power. Leaving the SyncBox
Junior Aux on them as a backup timing source w/ AutoSync isn't a
half bad idea either.

So we had two of three 450Ms walk in the door today. And we
haven't bought power or GPS for them yet waiting to see what was
going to happen with either CMM5 or PFlux support for them. Which
now puts us at an awsh*t point because we'd really like to get
these up on a tower. Could someone (Forrest, Sean, et al.) please
weigh in authoritatively on whether we can safely do this with
PFlux or if we need to order the standalone power and UGPS in the
interim?

I'm confused because the official position is that the 450m
uses "Cambium Sync" (whatever the hell that is). But Sean
said he has a 450m receiving sync over power (aka Canopy
Sync) from a GigE PowerInjector+Sync I believe. Apparently
the hardware does support it.

Other than supporting Sync over power for Medusa, what
else does the new CMM5 give you over the competition?

Is Sync over power for 450m on the Packetflux roadmap?
