So this looks like as good of a place as any to provide this tidbit: I finally found the component I was looking for to complete the cambium sync design here, and I now have a breadboarded solution to sync Medusa (and 450i) via 'cambium sync) here. Seems to be working. I'm in the process of getting the design on a prototype board for the rackmount injector. This *is* going to be more expensive than the non-cambium sync version, but for roughly the price of just that controller, you should be able to get the rackmount chassis+controller plus either 8 of injection, and a syncbox GPS receiver. For probably around $1200 or so, you should be able to get a fully loaded one with 16 ports of sync.
I'm *not* holding this injector for this for reasons I described in earlier threads, but add a month or two after WISPAMERICA and this should be shipping. -forrest On Fri, Feb 17, 2017 at 10:13 AM, Vlad Sedov <v...@atlasok.com> wrote: > The only reason we got this is to properly sync our Medusa APs from the > base of the tower, and maintain a clean gigabit ethernet link. > If Forrest had a product that did the same thing, we would be all over it. > Literally every other piece of GPS sync hardware we use is from PacketFlux. > > > Vlad > > > On 2/17/2017 11:09 AM, Mathew Howard wrote: > > You could also buy all the parts to do the same thing with PacketFlux gear > for a whole lot less than $800...
